KKK Was Terrorizing America Decades Before Islamic State Appeared - Julia Craven - The Huffington Post

This is not to condone violence in any form; but to expose duplicity and bigotry of Zionist controlled US media that under pathological obsession with Islamophobia, is carrying on anti-Islamic propaganda, with fake news and photo-shop pictures to build up a dubious case.

KKK Was Terrorizing America Decades Before Islamic State Appeared

When Sen. Angus King (I-Maine) returned home from a trip to the Middle East in October, he offered a reflection on the Islamic State, also known as ISIS, to the Bangor Daily News:

"My characterization of ISIS is that they have 14th century ethics and 21st century weapons," he said.

King and others who have reached into the Middle Ages for an apt Islamic State comparison may be going back further than they need to. The 19th and 20th centuries work just as well.

For David Pilgrim, the founder and director of the Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State University, the actions of ISIS and other extremist groups are familiar -- no better, no worse than the historic stateside violence against African-Americans.

"There's nothing you're going to see today that's not going to have already occurred in the U.S.," he said. "If you think of these groups that behead now -- first of all, beheading is barbaric but it's no more or less barbaric than some of the lynchings that occurred in the U.S."

The Ku Klux Klan was a domestic terror organization from its beginning, said Pilgrim, who finds it offensive when, after 9/11, some Americans would bemoan that terrorism had finally breached U.S. borders.

"That is ignoring and trivializing -- if not just summarily dismissing -- all the people, especially the peoples of color in this country, who were lynched in this country; who had their homes bombed in this country; who were victims of race riots," he said.

Victims of lynching were often burned, castrated, shot, stabbed and, in some cases, beheaded. Bodies were then hung or dragged through towns for display.

Most of these atrocities occurred during the eras of slavery, Reconstruction and Jim Crow -- but not all.

It was 116 years after slavery and 40 years after Jim Crow when 19-year-old Michael Donald's body was found swinging gently from a Mobile, Alabama, camphor tree in 1981. A perfect hangman's knot containing 13 loops held the noose wrapped around his neck, and a squad of Klansmen stood on a porch across the street, looking on as the police gathered evidence.

Lynchings like Donald's exemplify the terrorist methods that have always been the "stock and trade" of the KKK, according to Mark Potok, a senior fellow at the Southern Poverty Law Center.

"Michael Donald was sort of a classic case," he said. "It was real terrorism in the sense that Michael Donald was a completely random victim. He was completely unknown to his Klan murderers. He was simply abducted off the street and murdered in order to frighten black people."

Donald's lynching is often referred to as "America's last." His death falls outside the terror lynchings that ran rampant during the Jim Crow era, according to a report released by Alabama's Equal Justice Initiative earlier this month.

The study found almost 3,960 African-Americans were lynched from 1877 to 1950 -- a number that supersedes previous estimates by at least 700. It looked at lynchings in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

An "Instant Nigger" is 50 percent tar, 45 percent ignorance and 5 percent water, according to a flier thrown on the campus of Murphy High School in Mobile by Klansmen in the early 1970s.

"I'll never forget it," said Ada Fields, a black Mobile resident who attended the school. "It was a paper with a jar and a black body -- totally black -- with big bug eyes looking out the jar."

Alabama has a peculiar history with racially motivated terrorism -- arguably more so than other states in the Deep South -- and the state's Klan history complicates things a bit more. Since each cell of the Ku Klux Klan has a different history, Potok said, it is difficult to discuss the Klan as a single, monolithic group.

There were four eras of the Klan -- and the first and third eras were, arguably, the most characteristic of a terrorist organization.

Initial incarnations of the Klan used intimidation and violence to oppose the extension of civil liberties to blacks, maintain authority over black laborers and enforce their beliefs of white supremacy during Reconstruction, the years after the Civil War when the North occupied the South and briefly attempted to introduce more equitable practices.

Third-era Klan groups arose in response to the Brown v. Board of Education verdict, with membership peaking at about 40,000 around 1965. These individual Klans were more autonomous and often used the same terrorist methods as the first incarnation in an attempt to impede the civil rights movement.

Henry Hays and James Knowles, Donald's murderers, belonged to the United Klans of America, a third-era KKK organization based in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, that, at its height, was considered the strongest and most violent in the nation.

"The United Klans of America absolutely gloried in violence. That was their main, and perhaps their only, political tool," Potok said. "Violence and terrorism was a way of life for the United Klans of America. The group thought that these tactics would make it possible to reinstitute white supremacy."

Not only was the UKA linked to Donald's killing, members were also held responsible for the Mother's Day attack on Freedom Riders and the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing -- an attack resulting in the deaths of four young black girls. Both attacks occurred around Birmingham, Alabama, in 1961 and 1963, respectively.

"It's like they were born to have a genocide or something -- a black genocide," Fields said of the Klan. "They hated blacks. They was gonna get 'em anyway. You couldn't walk the street. If they could get you, they would hurt you."

However, Donald's lynching wasn't part of a widespread attempt to make a statement against a large civil rights movement -- it was revenge for a particular incident. He was, as Potok said, a random sacrifice -- the KKK's retribution for the death of a local white police officer whose alleged killer, an African-American, had walked free.

It was thought that the African-Americans who sat on the jury in the cop-killing case had altered the verdict, and at a post-trial meeting, Bennie Hays, the "Titan" of the UKA, reportedly said, "If a black man can get away with killing a white man, we ought to be able to get away with killing a black man."

A Klan leader calling for the death of a black person was a retro concept in 1981 -- one more aligned with the group's ideology during the civil rights movement.

"If you go back to the '60s, the Klan often planned murders and bombings and so on -- literally in rooms full of men," Potok said of the outdated practice. "Now, it was true in the Michael Donald case in the sense that the leader, Hays, essentially organized the killing."

Hays, the leader's son, and Knowles took the Titan's message to heart. On March 21, 1981, they hopped into their car and drove around Mobile with plans to avenge the death of the white police officer.

Eventually, Hays and Knowles spotted Donald as he walked home from buying a pack of cigarettes. After asking him for directions, Hays and Knowles forced Donald into their car at gunpoint and drove to a neighboring county.

According to The New York Times, Donald begged for his life and tried to escape. But the pair chased him down and, when they caught him, hit him with a tree limb more than 100 times. Once his body was still, a noose was slipped over his head, and Hays shoved his boot into Donald's face. The rope was pulled and Donald's throat was slit.

His body was left hanging to be discovered the next morning in a black area of Mobile, according to Fields.

"It really touched home when they come and hanged a dead body -- a black, young man's dead body -- in a black area. It just really bothered us because they hung him right in our neighborhood," Fields said. "It took a lot out of us."

In 1983, Knowles and Hays were convicted of murder and of violating Donald's civil rights.

Hays received the death penalty and was executed on June 6, 1997.

***
On June 7, 1998, three white men kidnapped African-American James Byrd, chained him to the back of a pickup truck by his ankles and dragged him almost 4 miles down a road near Jasper, Texas. Byrd died via decapitation after hitting a culvert, though the autopsy report said he was likely conscious for the majority of the ordeal.

Prosecutors, according to CNN, said the attack was "one of the most vicious hate crimes in U.S. history" and was intended to advertise a new white supremacist organization. In 2009, President Barack Obama expanded hate crime legislation due to the deaths of Byrd and Matthew Shepard, a gay man who was kidnapped and beaten to death in Wyoming in 1998.

Pilgrim of the Jim Crow Museum, however, said Byrd's death was more than a hate crime -- it was a lynching.

A lynching, per Pilgrim, involves an extrajudicial killing where the death is used to make a statement against a certain group or individual. Essentially, the killing has a purpose that transcends the actual death of the victim regardless of whether it was executed publicly -- a common misconception as to what defines a lynching.
Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center said such crimes are often used as a warning.

"It's not just that you're killing this person, for one reason or another. It's that you're warning all the rest," Potok said. "It was message crime. It was supposed to send a message to black people in Alabama, and elsewhere, that if you do things like set black cop killers free, we will kill you."

While current terror organizations abroad are fighting to upset the existing conditions of their societies, the Klan aimed to maintain the status quo being threatened by a rapidly growing social movement.
The goal of first- and third-era Klan groups was to return to a time when "men were men, women were women, and black people knew their place," according to Potok.

"The radical right, in general in the United States, was -- until the end of the civil rights movement -- essentially restorationist," he said. "The Klan, and most other groups of those years ... wanted to turn back the clock."

Knowles testified in 1984 during a civil rights lawsuit filed against the Klan by Beulah Mae Donald, Michael Donald's mother, that one of the purposes of the killing was to "show Klan strength in Alabama."

Mobile's black community got the message loud and clear.

"They come out and let us know they in full bloom ... How do you think that made us feel? It was like they can do anything they wanna do," she said. "They sent a message to us saying, 'Y'all think that it's gone away. [That] we've left -- we still here.' Cause we didn't think they'd do something like that."

ISIL, CIA, Mossad, Quds Force, etc

The rise of ISIL gave a whole new momentum to US, Iranian interventionism in the Middle East.

Four years ago, when the Arab Spring blossomed, the US, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the al-Qaeda network that dominated the Middle East during the previous decade were forced into retreat and retrenchment.

US President Barack Obama took the backseat and only reacted to the momentous changes in the region between 2011 and 2013. For the Obama administration, the problem wasn't the positive change taking shape, but rather the discomfort of losing control over events.

The ayatollahs, who repressed Iran's Green Revolution in 2009, became more isolated with the outbreak of the Arab revolution against dictatorship and autocracy.

Riyadh lost some of its most valuable allies like Hosni Mubarak of Egypt as its Sunni nemesis, the Muslim Brotherhood, began to gain power. And al-Qaeda & affiliates became ever more discredited and isolated, leading many observers to predicted their demise.

Inside Story - Has the Arab Spring widened the Arab divide?
Even Israel's (false) pretensions of being the "only democracy" in the region lost their effect, as its occupying regime was exposed to be integral to the old order; a chronic violator of human rights.

The rebound

However, two years later, the seasons began to turn as counter-revolutionary forces - the dark forces of the old Arab world - began to organise and conspire against the young voices of freedom and justice, whether in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya or elsewhere.

Washington, Tehran, as well as Tel Aviv and al-Qaeda took advantage of the ensuing chaos to advance their own agendas.

And a year later, they rebounded and began to dominate the region once again under the pretext of the danger of the newly found Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group and its affiliates.

Meanwhile, Daesh, ISIS, ISIL, IS - or whatever its name - broke away from al-Qaeda to become the definitive regional, and even global threat.

Its pornographic barbarity provided a new bloodier banner for al-Qaeda affiliates throughout the region, with a prime real estate location to erect a whole new caliphate on Syrian and Iraqi soil.
In the process, the rise of ISIL gave a whole new momentum to American and Iranian interventionism in the greater Middle East.
ISIL replaced al-Qaeda as the new pretext for pre-emptive and revenge air strikes, redeployments, war, and occupation.

Thanks to ISIL, the main losers of the Arab Spring emerged as the new hegemons.

Moreover, ISIL became the alibi or the justification for all regional warmongers to carry any atrocities.

Regimes in Syria, Iraq, and Egypt exploited the scourge - or the pretext - of terror to justify repressions and murder on a large scale.
Revenge bombings and attacks became the new rule, as international law took the backseat in the Middle East.

The question one must ask is not who's behind the rise and expansion of ISIL, but rather what led to its rise and what helps it withstand the international coalition's bombings and pressures.

And the non-Arab powers took advantage of ISIL to reshape their strategies, redraw maps and even reinvent relationships. As the New York Times put it: US and Iran Both Attack ISIS, but Try Not to Look Like Allies.

Likewise, Israel exploited the world's preoccupation with ISIL to attack the Gaza Strip, take over more Palestinian lands and deny Palestinians their basic rights with no repercussions, even when it turned its back to Washington.

This strange, even spectacular turn of events led many to question the mystery surrounding ISIL. Who's behind it and why? Are those benefitting from it, behind it?

Invisible hands behind ISIL?

Iran's first female vice president, Masoumeh Ebtekar, singled out the United States and the CIA as the progenitor of ISIL. And Iran's former Iranian minister of intelligence, Heydar Moslehi, went further by arguing that Mossad, MI6, And CIA created ISIL, or Daesh.

Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir agreed. He told Euronews this week that America's CIA and Israel's Mossad are behind Boko Haram and ISIL.

"I said CIA and the Mossad stand behind these organisations. There is no Muslim who would carry out such acts," he said. (Bashir also blames the US and Israel for the ICC's 2013 warrants accusing him of responsibility for war crimes, crimes against humanity and acts of genocide.)

And so does Fidel Castro. He believes that Israel and certain American elements are behind ISIL.

Others believe the opposite; that it's actually Iran that's culpable. Former Syrian National Coalition President Ahmad Jarba insisted that Iran is behind rise of ISIL.

Could "Quds Force be behind the ISIL in Iraq?" asked one observer.

And yet, more than a few argued that the Saudi Arabia stood behind ISIL. Then Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, claimed in a statement last summer that the Saudis were supporting ISIL and "facilitating genocide".

A former US general, Wesley Clark, reckons it's all part of an ongoing strategic conflict: "Our friends and allies funded ISIL to destroy Hezbollah."

For Clark, radical Islam is not the issue per se, as it's been generally exploited for strategic ends. For example, according to him: "The United States used radical Islam to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan. We begged the Saudis to put the money in; they did."

And the seasoned journalist, Patrick Cockburn, the author of "The Jihadis Return: ISIS and the New Sunni Uprising", claimed that Saudi Arabia "helped ISIL take over north Iraq". He cited British intelligence sources that believe the Saudi plan goes back a decade.

Is "the enemy of my enemy my friend" or my enemy? Or could it be both, depending on the level of cynicism involved?

Clearly, those who highlight the savagery of ISIL seem to also be benefitting most from it.

Conspiracy or consequence?

Most of the claims about the responsibility for the rise and spread of ISIL are either ideologically driven, or pure speculation.

It's not clear how any one of these prime suspects would be willing or able to put an organisation like ISIL together. Money is not nearly enough to sustain or explain its drive.

Even if ISIL proves day-in day-out to be at their service; providing them with pretexts for any policy and every action, it doesn't prove that any of these players are behind its rise.

In short, benefitting from ISIL's actions doesn't necessarily translate into creating it.

The question one must ask is not who's behind the rise and expansion of ISIL, but rather what led to its rise and what helps it withstand the international coalition's bombings and pressures.

Obama, as I explained a few days ago, gave his own explanation for the rise of ISIL; one that included dictatorship, sectarianism, alienation and marginalisation of Arabs and Muslims.

Seasoned former UN diplomat Lakhdar Brahimi, who served as special envoy to Afghanistan and Syria, and was somewhat close to the Washington circles, said this week that there was "no doubt that the original sin which led to the emergence of ISIL is the US-led invasion of Iraq. There was no justification for the war in Iraq, and we all suffer the consequences".

To be clear, Brahimi later clarified: "I don't mean the US created ISIL, but the conditions following the invasion led al-Qaeda to come to Iraq and for ISIL to gain power."

To sum it all up, the US occupation of Iraq, the Iranian manipulation of instability in Iraq and Syria, the cruelty and brutality of dictators like Bashar al-Assad, and the sectarian cynicism that followed are certainly to blame.
But there's more…

The traditional view of the 'Holocaust', is that Adolph Hitler had an obsession with wiping out the Jews. But, if that were the case, why did he sign this deal with the Zionist movement to move northern European Jews (Khazars) to Israel? - see:

So, if the issues in the middle east basically boil down to western interventionalism as Mr. Bishara seems to imply, then what is the real point of this article, other than to point fingers?  If he's pointing fingers at the US, does that mean he would support military action against the US in support of Boko Haram, Hezbollah, ISIS, Taliban, al-Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood or any other fun clubs in the middle east right now?  Where is the leadership in the region calling for peace and understanding of those whose views are different?  The US intervention and subsequent withdrawal certainly contribute­d to the power vacuum conditions which gave the extremists a foothold, but where does the bloodshed end?  This holy war has existed in some form or another for hundreds of years (long before the US actions).  The unrest is nothing new.  The names and groups are.  As with any conflict, there are interests behind the front lines looking to profit politically, economically, or otherwise from the fighting.  That's why it's no surprise that the US, Iran, Egypt, and others would be positioning themselves for whatever they see as an opportunity.  That's one of the facets of warfare that this author doesn't seem to understand.  Also, if one is looking for CREDIBLE commentary on the actions of the US and others, don't look to Fidel Castro or President Omar al-Bashir for depth of analysis.  These leaders have a track record of poor care of their citizens, so it's clear they have very little moral grounds to stand on.  So what can be done to fix the problems?  To start, I would submit that there needs to be a unification of the region on political issues and a consistent message that this militant extremism is unacceptable.  The religious aspect is a much larger challenge that will need to be dealt with on a more local level (too many issues to list here).  A coalition of the countries involved needs to create leadership and an outlet for a comprehensive list of rules that all of the countries must follow (not to be confused with the UN.  Only countries in the geographic area of the middle east and northern Africa need be involved).  Then, coalition forces need to remove the scourge of extremist elements and enforce the unilateral rules they set forth.  The world is tired of the endless death and division of religious zealots killing their brothers and sisters.  The finger-pointing is old and tired.  It solves nothing.  Let's identify WHAT the problems are, accept that we can't change HOW they became this way, and move forward with SOLUTIONS instead of vitriol.

The SOLUTION to all This RELIGIO POLLUTION is that  SAUDI//GCC's Need to be FORCED INTO DEMOCRACY!
Note: An special Exception can be made With MECCA and MEDINA where they can Have Same (Diplomatic) Status as the VATICAN State!

Note: People can still make HAJ and or Pilgrimage there. But the rest of the GCC's and SAUDI will be DEMOCRACY's. Note: PETRO Can still Flow and Petro Dollars etc... AND

The "Arab League" and the "Organization of Islamic Council" Will be Dissolved!

PS: If [Islamic and Sunni] TURKY (a quasi NATO Member) wants to retain it's previous  OTTOMAN-EMPIRE glory Days THEN [Secular?] Turkey should Lead the Charge into Forcing SAUDI and GCC's to DEMOCTATIZE!

BIG NOTE: This is the POINT of HISTORY where RELIGION must be reined-in and Tamed once and for all! ONLY DEMOCRACY can do that! Remember: SHARIA (even Halakah etc..) is a Form of COMMUNISM (Worse).

Wake-Up TIME or be Forced into [Democratic] Submission! Note: there are different flavors f Democracy that Fits almost any Culture and Sects! No more ["MY RELIGION"] Excuses!!!

[Trouble Maker] TURKEY from 2003 to 2014 was the 'Chair' of the 53 Muslim Nation via the "Organization of Islamic Counci"l  (OIC) and helped NATO's Leadership set the Ground Work for War and ISIS+ !! And

IT was/is under  Hillary CLINTON's and OBAMA rein who created the "Muslim Brother Hood" Monster  2009+ (before 'Arab Spring; which unfortunately turned into "Islamo Spring+"). And "BMH" was Created when Hillary and Borak Removed G.W. Bush's 'U.S. Patriot Act" which Labeled "MBH" as TERRORISTS (along with Hamas; Kpp etc.)! And It was done for "POLITICAL ISLAM: Advocate TARIQ RAMADAN (Grandson of Founder of MBH)!

Big Note: Today: [Sunni] SAUDI Arabia is now (as of JAN.2014) the 'Chair' of their "OIC". And Saudi/GCC's Military [secretly unleashed] the "ISIS+ scourge against the "SHIA" and thus  Rose-Up after Saudi Took Power. So they DID-IT then DENY-IT!

Bush and Blair are guilty of waging an illegal war on Iraq. Today we see the legacy of their illegal act. Israeli advisers have played a major role in instructing US occupation forces in Iraq on the practices of urban counter-insurgency and repression of civilians, drawing on their 60 years of experience. The infamous massacre of hundreds of Palestinian families at Deir Yasin in 1948 was emblematic of Zionist elimination of hundreds of productive farming villages, which had been settled for centuries by a native people with their endogenous civilization and cultural ties to the soil, in order to impose a new colonial order. The policy of the total deracination of the Palestinians is central to Israel’s advise to the US policymakers in Iraq. Their message has been carried out by their Zionist acolytes in the Bush and Obama Administrations, ordering the dismemberment of the entire modern Iraqi civil and state bureaucracy and using pre-modern tribal death squads made up of extremists to purge the modern universities and research institutions of that shattered nation. - see:

Its everybody's fault but us poor Sunni, right Marwan?  Shamlees populism regardless of the truth.  The world would be so wonderful if we could only have back Saddam Hussein and his sweet sons.  Muslims all over the world want, progress, peace and modern tolerances.  Yet all Muslim leaders can give is tyranny, dictatorship or Wahhabi Salafi barberisum.  It is the ISIS invasions that brought the Iranians.  It is your anti Israeli support of Assad and Hezbollah that expanded Iran's influence. Time immemorial, your council and your voice put Arabs on the wrong horse.  Anti American, anti Western, anti Israel, anti democracy and here you are in chaos and tragedy once again, shocking!  And as usual its time to blame somebody else!

It is time to take Israel to ICC for war crimes in Palestine and for 9/11 - see:

9/11: Israel’s Masterpiece
http://­www.lostscribemedia.­com/news/911-israels­-masterpiece/

In the annals of history, no event has ever been so thoroughly dissected by as many disparate humans as the 9/11/01 Massacre.  Hundreds of real people were scorched and roasted alive in an explosive conflagration. And yet, with such unprecedented scrutiny tearing at the carelessly pressed seams of the official conspiracy theory fairytale, it’s an ineffable wonder indeed how even a decade after the event, Israel, specifically Israeli Mossad and its extended octopus Zionist terror network largely escape the view of the overwhelming majority of the major researchers.

Quran itself gives warning to those who pick and choose verses according to their own wishes.
" So do you believe in part of the Scripture and disbelieve in part? Then what is the recompense for those who do that among you except disgrace in worldly life; and on the Day of Resurrection they will be sent back to the severest of punishment." 2:85
So it is least wonder why they are being getting humiliated and disgraced in this world itself. because they not follow the words of allah that the sons of israel are the chosen people

"Thou wilt find the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe (to be) the Jews and the idolaters. And thou wilt find the nearest of them in affection to those who believe (to be) those who say: Lo! We are Christians. That is because there are among them priests and monks, and because they are not proud."

and another verse, 39:72
"Enter the gates of Hell to abide eternally therein, and wretched is the residence of the arrogant."

The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians , Palestinians , Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people , since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism"
"For tactical reasons , Jordan , which is a sovereign state with defined borders , cannot raise claims to haifa and Jaffa. While as a Palestinian ,I can undoubtedly demand Haifa , Jaffa , Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However , the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine , we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan. "

Mike Huckabee has revived the incendiary notion that there’s no such thing as a Palestinian people, repeating an assertion that has been condemned by a wide spectrum of historians and political analysts. .....  Yet the Palestinians exist now, and that’s a politico-diplomatic reality with which a President Huckabee would have to reckon.

There was no Israel.  Only after the European Jews who were " banished by Europeans" setlled down and seized the Arab lands was the Israeli state established. There were only a small minority of original genuine Jews at Palestine. Do not  change historical facts.

If the Palestinian people does not exist as you and voters hungry Huckabee claim, then you should also explain how your good book mentions the story of Samson (the Jew) vs Delilah (the Palestinian) and on whom did Samson bring the temple down?

If you think this story is false, then the world should also assume that the Jewish claim of historical Palestine is also baseless. Because you've occupied the land of the Palestinians based on what is written in your good book.
If you deny part of it then we (the world) should  deny all of it.

Hence, we can deduct that there are no descendants of the ancient Israelites left, and all those that claim to be Jews are in fact impostors that immigrated from all over the world to rob the land and displace the natives. And the natives are the Palestinians.

The "war on terror" is a hoax, a false boogeyman for intervention in the Middle East.
US created Al Qaeda (Operation Cyclone)
Biden admitted US allies armed ISIS.

US allies Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and Turkey, created ISIS.  CIA and Mossad helped to train them - see:

ISIS Is Proof Of The Failed “War On Terror” 
http://www­.commondreams.org/vi­ews/2015/02/25/isis-­proof-failed-war-ter­ror

... There is something absurd about this, since the foreign jihadis in Syria and Iraq, the people whom Obama admits are the greatest threat, can only get to these countries because they are able to cross the 510-mile-long Turkish-Syrian border without hindrance from the Turkish authorities. Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Jordan may now be frightened by the Frankenstein’s monster they have helped to create, but there is little they can do to restrain it. An unspoken purpose of the US insistence that Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain take part or assist in the air strikes on Syria in September was to force them to break their former links with the jihadis in Syria. There was always something fantastical about the US and its Western allies teaming up with the theocratic Sunni absolute monarchies of Saudi Arabia and the Gulf to spread democracy and enhance human rights in Syria, Iraq, and Libya. ....

Part 1:
DearMarwan,
­Let me explain the obvious, at least for me, without much ado:

These crimes are carried-out by Devil worshipers. We may not believe whether the Devil exists or not and frankly I don’t give a  d - a - m - n. But they do believe, and there lies the danger.

They are embracing a self-styled Islamic version of Devil worship, in-which th­e black banner that they share has the three Arabic words inside the circle written backwards, in imitation to inverted cross in Christianity.


Read, as written, from top to bottom it says “Allah is messenger of Muhammad”,instead of the other way round.


The banner itself depicts primi­tive deformed image of Satan, with the legend written abovethe circle representing flames for hair. (Continued…)

Ali Zaid
Part 2:
Ask yourselves now :why don’t they just simply kill their victims by ordinary means instead of overacting ruthlessness?

­The answer is that according to Demon worship lore, Satan relishes on human suffering, which explains the vicious methods used to kill their targets.


More suffering means,in Demon theology, more reward for the perpetrator.

­They maybe disillusioned, but surely they are commending each other by now for achieving one of their major goals, i-e, pitting humans ­against each other.

­Their first major goal was their success in convincing the naive hordes to join them,which the fooled flocks still do. They will not stop until all humans grab eachother’s throats and chaos rules.

They are simply the enemies of all humanity regardless of faith, color, gender or status.

I leave it for you, dear Marwan and the CIA to investigate and verify my humble findings.

A Danish psychologist warns that 1,400 years of inbreeding—marrying first cousins—may be wreaking havoc on Muslim intelligence, health and sanity.
“A large part of inbred Muslims are born from parents who are themselves inbred – which increase the risks of negative mental and physical consequences greatly,” says Nicolai Sennels, author of the book Among Criminal Muslims and articles on the psychology of Islam and Muslims, in a Dec. 26 article in 10News.dk.

Combining his own research and several studies, Sennels says the genetic damage of such intermarriage, which is part of Islamic religion and culture since their prophet, Mohammad, allowed it, is causing lower intelligence (IQs), increased physical defects and greater incident of mental illness.
Almost half of Muslims worldwide are estimated to be inbred, with 70 percent of marriages in Pakistan, 67 percent in Saudi Arabia and 80 percent in Nubia in southern Egypt in consanguineous (blood-related) marriages to first cousins, to name just a few of the countries he cites.
“Several studies show that children of consanguineous marriages have lower intelligence than children of non-related parents,” Sennels says. “Research shows that the IQ is 10-16 points lower in children born from related parents and that abilities related to social behavior develops slower in inbred babies.” And children born of cousins are twice as likely as the general population to have mental or physical disabilities, which drain municipal funds, he says.
“It probably also explains – at least partly – why two-thirds of all immigrant school children with Arabic backgrounds are illiterate after 10 years in the Danish school system…,” Sennels says.

"After 25 years and five failed Israeli military efforts, Gaza's natural gas is still underwater and, after four years, the same can be said for almost all of the Levantine gas. But things are not the same. In energy terms, Israel is ever more desperate, even as it has been building up its military, including its navy, in significant ways. The other claimants have, in turn, found larger and more powerful partners to help reinforce their economic and military claims. All of this undoubtedly means that the first quarter-century of crisis over eastern Mediterranean natural gas has been nothing but prelude. Ahead lies the possibility of bigger gas wars with the devastation they are likely to bring."

There are paternal first cousins and maternal first cousins. According to cultural anthropology I had taken at a college, the marriage among first cousin is allowed depending on where you are in your family tree and which first cousin you want to marry based on paternal first cousin or maternal first cousin, depending on your gender.  Research about it.

"Iran's first female vice president, Masoumeh Ebtekar, singled out the United States and the CIA as the progenitor of ISIL. And Iran's former Iranian minister of intelligence, Heydar Moslehi, went further by arguing that Mossad, MI6, And CIA created ISIL, or Daesh.Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir agreed. He told Euronews this week that America's CIA and Israel's Mossad are behind Boko Haram and ISIL.
"I said CIA and the Mossad stand behind these organisations. There is no Muslim who would carry out such acts," he said. (Bashir also blames the US and Israel for the ICC's 2013 warrants accusing him of responsibility for war crimes, crimes against humanity and acts of genocide.)

Islam can never self-destruct if there are no manipulations of the Europeans and the Westerners. If you remember the history correctly, it was the Europeans who colonized around the world and imposed their culture of alcohol, tobacco, and such to their colonies. American's economy grew with the sale of alcohol and tobacco initially after USA gained independence from the England.

Islam can be practiced in advanced tech and advanced functioning societies except that there are moral grounds that people MUST abide by according to Islam.  Females' earning income is not preferable in Muslims' societies NOT because Muslims think that females are low IQ and such BUT because many Muslims want to have close family, which is the basic unit of society, and mothers need to care for the children especially until the children finish elementary school or so. Male and females are of different natures due to God's creations. Male and female have different kinds of strengths and weakness.

You said, " The US/West duped into Iraq II so they have responsibility to fight Daesh. That's true, but together with troops from Islamic nations."

And you said, " The ME will be left to its self-destruction."  It's what you said, "Okie, Laura." But, it is not definitely what God Wills for us, Muslims. It may be or it may not be.  Whatever God Wills to be, shall be. Whatever God does not Will to be, shall not be.

Also, I don't agree that the US/West will no longer need the ME oil. But, ME can still have customers such as China and Russia.

Just to let you know that many Muslim students and people in Europe and Western nations are developing skills to avoid morally corrupted practices of the West and to blend in the technology, wisdom, prudence, and bright conscience light of the human all together to contribute to the societies they are in as well as the countries they come from.

That's why I said, Okie, Laura if you say that ME will be left to its self-destruction. Why? It will not come true with nowadays getting older Muslim youths, young adults and adults. Islamic laws abiding Muslims are getting better to adapt to throw away western corrupted cultures and to improve their lives and societies positively. This period is the period where ME is not militarily strong and such to fight the Daesh, ME needs weapons and war training and war strategy.

But, as you said, take the responsibility of fighting the Daesh by the US/West.

Genetic composition of Jewish populations: diversity and inbreeding.
Kobylian­sky E, Livshits G.
Abstract
Geneti­c diversity and F statistics analysis, using 9 and 5 blood group loci, respectively, were carried out on 16 Jewish populations from 5 geographic regions: East Europe, Central Europe, South Europe, Middle East and North Africa. The proportion of total diversity found within populations was 98.9% while that between populations, within geographic groups and between groups altogether was only 1.1%. The average heterozygosity between geographic groups ranged from 0.3867 to 0.4150. There were no significant differences between geographic groups of populations in heterozygosity or in its variance. Average estimates of inbreeding were as follows: Fis = 0.0419, Fst = 0.0084 and Fit = 0.0498. Because the heterogeneity and relative proportion of diversity were less between Jewish populations than between non-Jewish ones, we conclude that genetic similarity between Jews is higher than between Gentiles. The findings are in agreement with our previously obtained calculations of genetic distances (Kobyliansky, Micle, Goldschmidt-Nathan, Arensburg and Nathan 1982).

I don't think IQ has much to do with whether or not atrocities are committed. Full-blown psychopaths are usually very intelligent and charismatic; that combination of traits make them extremely dangerous.

Psychopathy is now understood to be primarily genetic along with gestational issues. So is intelligence. Science is still puzzling out the "nature vs. nurture" question, but it is clear that nurture/experiences/­parenting MIGHT be accountable for no more than about a third of what makes people who they are.
