@sixtiesred
really whats the the talk over there on all this trouble?
Eastman could you let us know in the viva le france thread that way it don't interfere with this thread
from another thread
well to start the information the people in the west get about the whole chaos is very limited and plenty of what dose get reported is filtered by whatever media outlet is leaning for.
I can write several books about the game of nations going on in Syria and Iraq, it may look like only a handfull are active but in reality it's almost everyone active in the world stage, it's either direct or through other nations, when the balance shifts the big boys start to act directly, first it was Russia and now the NATO countries are about to come in.
as for ISIS they don't have any known religious leader or personality with them, all they have are self-proclaimed preachers rejected by the Ulama(recognized Muslim scholars) in all the Muslim world
the former Saddam army veterans are who form the spine and leadership of ISIS, the main second level leaders are the Chechens who operate mainly in Syria, the cannon fodder comes from Europe and Saudi kids mostly from the northern tribes who have grudges against the government since the inception of the country.
ISIS supporters committed many suicide attacks in Saudi Arabia targeting both Sunni and Shia mosques, the Ulama speak out against ISIS all the time calling them Khawarij (the outsiders), they are the subject of the media everyday.
