Poor old ISIL.
It’s probably a good thing that “Bazabee” remains anonymous because this piece is simply embarrassing. By far the silliest piece of leftist drivel I’ve read about ISIL.
When most people in the world are lamenting what Amnesty International recently - http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/MDE14/011/2014/en/1af20d2f-501a-4d5d-b7fc-b52719e8dfdf/mde140112014en.html
described as ISIL's "ethnic cleansing on a historic scale" we have contributions from internet experts like Bazzabee which are all about asking us to lay off ISIL.
Stop demonizing the enemy says Baz.
Stop demonizing an internationally recognized terrorist organization who the UN says are committing crimes against humanity & should be hauled up to face the International Criminal Court.

While the rest of the world recoils in horror at
the firsthand accounts of ISIL atrocities including the rape of young
girls & mass shootings "Bazzabee" is worried that
this illegal army of butchers are being singled out for hacking our heads
off with hunting knives.
Yes Saudi Arabia do behead people & yes the
US is mute on Saudi Capital punishment. It’s also true that states like Saudi
Arabia are partly responsible for groups like ISIS.
As middle east analyst/political commentator
Catherine Shakdam wrote recently.....
"The cradle of Wahhabism - an ascetic and radical interpretation of Sunni Islam - Saudi Arabia has often been understood as the nurturer of radical religious thoughts, so much so that many analysts and scholars have actually blamed the rise of Islamic terrorism on the kingdom, arguing that Saudi Arabia’s Wahhabis have not only fanned sectarianism but also promoted Jihad as a religious paradigm, a new expression of one’s religious devotion as a mean to assert its control over the Middle East.

Beyond
that there are some very obvious differences between the sovereign state of
Saudi Arabia, its government & Laws which are enforced within its own
borders & a rogue army cobbled together from different countries who
have the express intention of illegally invading, occupying & murdering.
If you
don't like Saudi Arabian law at least you can leave. Not so easy to leave with
ISIL as their crusade brings the Islamic state to your town along with ISIL’s
murderous interpretation of the Sharia. ISIL have swallowed town after town in
Syria & Iraq at lite-speed. The territory they occupy is now roughly the
size of Belgium & straddles two countries. ISIL have told Mr Obama &
the rest of the world that it intends to replicate what it’s done in Iraq &
Syria to the rest of the world. The ISIL fighter has pissed the whole world off
not only because of his crimes against humanity but because he wants to come to
a town near you. That’s why the majority of nations support the US coalition
& are prepared to help. See any difference between the ISIL fighter &
the Saudi executioner Baz? Or would you have the US invade another sovereign
nation?
Indeed Baz doing his best imitation of a clueless 14yr old asks…. “How is it that an ISIS fighter beheading a western hostage is held to be more horrific than a Saudi Swordsman welding a sword in a car park in Riyadh, Khobar or Medina”.

Seriously?
You can’t be that stupid.
I’ll give you a hint BB. It’s not just about the
beheadings.
The 32000 ISIS fighters on the ground in Syria present a clear & present threat to many, many more people than a Saudi court executioner. Read the Amnesty International report.

...."Amnesty International has found
that the IS has systematically targeted non-Arab and non-Sunni Muslim
communities, killing or abducting hundreds, possibly thousands, and forcing
more than 830,000 others to flee the areas it has captured since 10 June
2014".
BB is so determined to paint ISIL as
victims of culturally ignorant westerners who just don’t understand beheading.
So determined he reduces the criminal execution of James Foley down to the
method alone, omitting any mention of the fact that Foley committed no crime,
broke no Syrian or international law, never faced a court, a trial yet was
captured, held – essentially terrorized, knowing full well during his time in
captivity that he faced execution - not by a single swoosh of
a cutlass (as the Saudi Govt do) but by having his head hacked off with
a hunting knife after being forced to kneel before the camera & disavow his
home country.
Perhaps BB that is why the majority of the
western & Muslim world are focused on the “ISIS fighter” & not Saudi
Arabian capital punishment
Perhaps it’s the fact that the ISIL fighter is
killing thousands of Iraqis & Syrians at lite speed - every month. Carrying
out mass executions, shooting men & women in cold blood, beheading
children, raping women including those underage (see Amnesty Int. report),
placing heads on stakes, marching men in their hundreds & even thousands
into the desert, executing & then burying them.
Or perhaps it’s the ISIL fighter’s territorial aspirations
Baz. The fact that the ISIL fighter illegally & criminally invades &
takes control of territory that doesn’t belong to him? And murders & abuses
the inhabitants to do so.
Perhaps it’s because the ISIS fighter’s
murderous campaign has seen the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people
in Iraq & Syria including 200,000 in the last few week over the Turkish
border.
Perhaps it’s because 500,000 people in Iraq
could die if the Mosul dam which the ISIS fighter has taken control of ceases
to function.
Still think the ISIL
fighter is getting a bum rap Baz?
Hi Pilko, obviously you have done your research on Isil or whatever they are called these days. I respect you points of view. I am having a hard time seeing how we as a world can stop this sort of madness. We have tried in Afghanastan and failed dismally, the enemy just seem to pop up with another name and another backer.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are that we need to get to the root of the problem, there are so many people in the world now especially young men in war torn countries that are just angry and pissed off. We somehow need to talk to the elders and the religious heads and get them to effect change. We need to understand and listen to what is pissing these young men off so much and somehow change that.
I really don't have an answer, yes they have to be stopped now, but then the next crop have to be stopped before they grow up too.
I know that the west needs to stop meddling in political affairs in other countries and fix our own problems first. I also know that the US is a war country whose economy is based heavily on war and selling armaments.
Not a good mix in my mind.
Or maybe all the sci fi movies are right and the end of humanity is just a murderous mess.
Sorry if my thoughts are a bit jumbled but I am on strange drugs for an autoimmune thing happening in me.

Thanks Pete. I don't know the answer. But i do believe the world must unite against murderous regimes.
