[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The murderers of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have turned the last 10 days of the holy month of Ramadan into a season for brutality. We must link the recent deadly incidents to one another, as we are confronting one crime.
The murderers are the same. An evil mind is managing them all, or receiving applications from the world’s madmen requesting to commit crimes. One of these madmen was Omar Mateen, the US citizen of Afghan descent who opened fire on people in a nightclub in Orlando on the 19th day of Ramadan. He presented the operation as a gift to ISIS.
It turned out that Mateen was a troublemaker his entire life, and had decided to show his criminality in a religious context with the Orlando attack.
A few days later, the ISIS operation at Istanbul airport killed dozens from different nationalities, including a Paleostinian woman and three Saudi men. Then Kuwait announced the arrest of an ISIS cell planning to target a Shiite mosque and an Interior Ministry building.
Among the tossed in the clink Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! cell members are a mother and son. They were arrested in Syria in ISIS-controlled Raqqah and brought back to Kuwait. Then ISIS committed the horrific crime at the crowded shopping area in the Karada district in Baghdad. The attack killed more than 200 Iraqi civilians and injured more than 300.
Targeting Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
The Iraqi interior minister submitted his resignation following the kabooms. The Justice Ministry executed five ISIS convicts, according to Iraqi officials. The last of these bad developments was in Saudi Arabia. ISIS first targeted Qatif in the east, then Jeddah in the west, then the Prophet’s Mosque in Medina.
The mosque kaboom was carried out by an ISIS jacket wallah, killing four members of the security forces and injuring others. In Jeddah, Abdullah Qalzar Khan ‐ a 36-year-old Pak who worked in the kingdom as a driver ‐ went kaboom! near the US consulate and the parking lot of Fakeeh Hospital.
The operations in Kuwait, Baghdad, Saudi Arabia and even Orlando come within the context of ISIS concerns about attacks against it in Syria and Iraq, and about the increased international alliances against it. According to the author of "Management of Savagery," ISIS’s bible, Saudi Arabia is the most desired target of all "apostates and tyrants."
Unfortunately, ISIS’s crimes will last for some time, until the reasons behind them and their prosperity end. One of the most significant reasons behind its emergence, as well as that of al-Qaeda and the Moslem Brüderbund previously, is educational and ideological corruption. This is the responsibility of all Moslems.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Terrorism entered its bloodiest and most brutal phase following the recent bombing at the Prophet’s Mosque in the city of Medina. The terrorist operation was carried out a few meters away from the tomb of Prophet Mohammad. The kaboom targeted security guards, visitors, passers-by and those seeking refuge at the holy site of the Prophet’s Mosque.
When we first witnessed terrorist operations in the late 1990s, some people believed the justifications behind them. These operations first targeted Americans then Christians.
They later began to target coppers and babus government employees, and to besiege and blow up diplomatic institutions. They went as far as murdering mothers and targeting the Prophet’s Mosque. If they could, they would bomb the prophet’s tomb and blow up the Kaaba.
This escalating terrorism carries the same seeds that some justified a quarter of a century ago by resorting to excuses, such as US interference and Israel’s occupation of Paleostine. Extremist organizations ‐ al-Qaeda, the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Hezbollah, the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) ...that would be the Houthis, Iran's Shiite catspaws in Yemen...
‐ all serve the purpose of murder. They aim to crush people, kill them and deprive them of their dignity regardless of who they are.
The kaboom at the Prophet’s Mosque was the last fig leaf as it exposed all verbal fabrications.
To those offering justifications and describing ISIS as brothers who have wronged us, we ask them whether they have decisive stances regarding this recent dangerous escalation. Or has this tragedy against Moslems and humanity not elicited a shred of mercy or dismay in them?

Let me look at my crystal ball. I see, I see. Yes, I see more explosions.

Usually, these are warning shots as a preclude to further attacks. For instance, Our Benghazi consulate was hit with a small device before the all out attack.

I believe that Islam is a political system and as such the only to beat the system is the same way that Japan and Germany were defeated in WWII - EMP the hell out of them! How about Mecca, Madina and Terran as starters.
[DAWN] I CAME across no proclamations of ’Je suis Istanbul’ last week, nor any protestations of ’Je suis Dhaka’, let alone Baghdad, over the weekend, in the aftermath of three horrendous terrorist attacks as the Islamic holy month of fasting drew to an end. It is supposed to be a period not just of dawn-to-dusk fasting but of introspection and forbearance. Sadly, it has also been a month of carnage.

[DAWN] In 2002, AKP, led by the charismatic Recep T. Erdogan, managed to win that year’s election purely on an economic platform. It also promised to help take The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... into the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... The results of the AKP government’s economic policies were startling. Turkey became one of the few European countries to enjoy healthy economic growth in that period. This helped AKP to attract a wide coalition of voters in the 2007 election. Conservatives and secularists alike voted heavily for the party.
AKP continued to focus on economic issues and refrained from using religious symbolism or rhetoric. It was re-elected in 2011, still attractive for a wide variety of voters. But by then, Erdogan had begun to face severe criticism for becoming a ’megalomaniac’and undemocratic. In 2012, the government tried to make constitutional amendments aimed to strengthen the presidency. Critics saw it as Erdogan’s attempt to maintain power unconstitutionally.
Rising criticism, the winding down of the economy, and resultant political turmoil saw Erdogan begin to use religiously-tinged rhetoric. When violent protests against his rule erupted in 2013, Erdogan claimed that the protests were ’part of a plot by the Americans and Israelis’ to overthrow him.
In the June 2015 elections, AKP lost its majority. But no party could form a government and another election was held in November. Erdogan warned that AKP’s loss would cause severe economic downturns and political violence. He also suggested that only he could prevent Turkey from descending into chaos. Incredibly, his message stuck, and AKP regained its electoral strength.
But AKP today is a pale reflection of what it was when it first emerged in the early 2000s. Turkey is facing political and economic crisis and an unprecedented wave of religious militancy and Kurdish separatism.
Erdogan has continued to mutate into becoming an authoritarian figure, who sees conspiracies in every corner and is at best, ambiguous about his regime’s engagement with the dreaded Lion of IslamIslamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

And a pony --- the only way to dislodge an Islamic government is military coup: like they had in Egypt, or like they used to have in Turkey before Erdogan castrated the military. Hell, the only example I know of an ideologically based government overthrown without military coup is "Perestroika" --- and that was a KGB operation.
