The Islamic rule of law called "Sharia" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharia should be viewed, whether extensively or partially, by anyone who wonders what is going on in the Middle East, Northern Africa and Southeast Asia.
But knowing how historically archaic Muslims are regarding the female role in society, it is a bit strange that ISIS... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isis is the name of the militant group trying to make a singular Islamic state in that region. One would think that even if its a workable acronym, the name should be changed just on principle alone.
Everybody knows about the internal battle between Sunnis and Shiites for control of the Islamic religion. First and foremost they should most definitely take a lesson from Christianity and immediately recognize that MULTIPLE interpretations of one religion can exist without bloodshed.....even though there is a history of bloodshed within that organization. The optimum word here is HISTORY. And that's what Islam needs to address in the year 2014. It's time to let violent interpretations of a religious nature become a thing of the past. There's a debate about how religious writings should be viewed and of course all supposedly HOLY BOOKS have the same debate. Personally I think it's time for some new books......or NEO if you know what I mean.
The situation is that 1600 years later there is still an extremely hostile debate still going on within Islam about who should be in charge and what interpretation should be followed....and the bloody debate goes well beyond the boundaries of their own religion. Islamic law says (one very strong interpretation) basically that everyone who is not a follower of Islam and Mohammad is an INFIDEL.....and infidels can only be dealt with in one fashion.
ZAP EM!
And that is, just simply put...............NOT COOL AND QUITE WRONG....an of course completely devoid of any form of..............enlightenment. (Which, by any stretch of the imagination, should be the ultimate goal of any religious movement, wouldn't you agree?)
IT'S CAUSING PROBLEMS EVERYWHERE but the main problem is in the Middle East....and the United States gets sucked in because of oil (Iraq is #7 on our oil import list).
It's important to remember which countries are Sunni and which are Shiite or SHI'a
SAUDI ARABIA
TURKEY
SYRIA
PAKISTAN
AFGHANISTAN
KUWAIT
UNITED ARAB EMIRATES
EGYPT
LIBYA
ALGERIA
SUDAN
QATAR
ALL SUNNI
IRAN
IRAQ
YEMEN
3 SHI'a or SHIITE
Obviously by now you do know that Saddam Hussein was a minority Sunni leader controlling the majority population of Shiites....and we all know how that worked out. And it's also quite obvious that the size of Iran's military is probably the only thing stopping a complete Sunni takeover of the region.
So it would seem to me that looking at the above list that OUR (US) main cooperation would be with the SUNNI movement......BUT WAIT....there's a trick here and no one seems to understand how that trick is being played.
I SURE AS HELL DON'T SEE HOW IT WORKS FOR US, ON EITHER SIDE OF THE FENCE.............DO YOU?
If I look at the facts and jump ahead it would seem that the UNITED STATES AND IRAN NEED TO TEAM UP JUST LIKE WE DID IN THE 60'S AND 70'S WITH OUR OLD PAL THE SHAH.
LOGICALLY THAT ISN'T AN ANSWER BUT JUST BRINGING IT UP DOES SHOW HOW TRULY CONFUSING THE ENTIRE PICTURE IS.
THE SUNNI'S ARE ON THE MOVE THROUGHOUT NORTHERN AFRICA AND ARE BEING VERY AGGRESSIVE ON THEIR MOVE TOWARD BAGHDAD.
IT WOULD ALSO SEEM OBVIOUS THAT IRAN WOULD HAVE TO HELP IRAQ BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
The odd part is that Sunni's are trying to kill the Shiites when it truth the Shiites are not infidels like the rest of us.
Now you might understand why I choose to play music on Sunday. So sorry for the break in soft melodic action but once the Egyptian Goddess ISIS appears on the scene....everything else gets trumped.
Thank God and Seamus that I have a piano........
