Sad to say that as I may have mentioned before a lot of the Islamic World is relatively "new" in that the
society is in the main primitive, tribal, and a personal view, but adheres to medieval ideas and laws. They simply
have not evolved. In Saudi Arabia I was told with some glee that it "serves those Kuwaiti's right" when Saddam Hussein invaded
Kuwait, the Saudi's don't like the tribe, particularly the Wahabi dislike them (Tribal). Only when they realised that having publicly
supported USA/UK etc. and committed to joining the assault (not that they did much
) that they were possibly next, did they suddenly
panic! (As they are now, didn't care about ISIL --- until they saw an ISIL map with them as part of it!). Now suddenly there is a "fatwa" announced
against people going to fight with them.
Syria is dominated by minority religious Tribes such as the Alawites (Assad is an alawite), other Shia sects and the Christians
who realise that they need the protection against the Sunni who would dominate with ISIL now controlling that group. They all
take the word of their religious texts as fact an no interpretations, so, if in 1514 it said it was right to behead people who wouldn't accept Islam
and rape their wives and daughters (which is happening) to impregnate them they deem it correct today.
Not really ever having had unified non-tribal governments (funny that Saddam's was the closest!) and secretly all hating each other, with all the money
to buy weaponry they cant use, and having completely forgotten how to fight, (unless drug fuelled religious fervour hypnotised), they simply cannot co-operate against any threat. There is in my view one big difference between Islam and other religions, they teach love and tolerance and Islam teaches fear and intolerance. That alone ensures conflict for many, many, years and no real Unity.
When they have evolved, they will change. Whilst I am obviously not a fan of Islam -- and yes I read the Koran -- where it has been subject to some interpretation it does not generally create such tensions.
So, tragically, meanwhile millions of Muslims will continue to die while a goal of World religious domination that simply cannot succeed but
is part of the written religion exists. (be aware that ISIL are disobeying the Koran there as it clearly says that Christians and Jews are to be respected!
Israel and Palestine probably cant co-exist as two states, they might as one ------- but not while they cant even agree amongst themselves, Hebron and Gaza may as well be a million miles from each other.
Sadly, this will go on -- and on as the human animal in that part of the World ---evolves!
Now Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia in the main have evolved much faster so although Islamic states don't agree with extremists,
try to be less Tribal, (yes I know the kurds!) and seem to co-exist in the World reasonably well.
Soon I wont be able to write things like this as because of our apathy and inaction in the "west" our new ISUK government
wont allow it and will have confiscated all technology.
