(As your journalist continues narrating this segment ofthe day-long questioning of the“Radicalization and the Politics of Alienation” in the current MiddleEast from here in the American Capital, the United States — alongwith its Arab allies — finally strike the pitiless “Caliphate” withtheir overwhelming airpower — near that “Medieval” [Syrian] capitalof Raqqa.)
Your newspaperman would like to extend his current project on theseminar held in the District of Columbia at the office of the thinktank, the Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy (CSID) on the”Islamic State.”Your reporter will begin by relating the words of Shadi Hamidi, aFellow at the Brookings’ Institute for Middle East Policy, and, then,relate his presentation to the activity of the hostilities of theprevious week.The State of Islamic can be grating, but constructive. It should beaccepting of multifarious dogmas. Thus, ISIS (acronym DAASH inArabic) is no more than pure Evil. Strangely, ISIS (the Islamic Stateof Iraq and Syria) has devolved heretically out of the constructionthat is Islam.The ascent of the “Caliphate was predicted and predictable. Dr.Hamid, who was born in Doha and is an expert on Islamism, felt theUnited States should have intervened in the Syrian Civil War during2012.In this War with ISIL (Islamic State in Syria and the Levant), hastaken its civic duty to govern seriously. Yet, there are “religious”police which has been less than acceptable to the governed. IS (the“Islamic State”) have run their “nation” through a brutal buteffective reign of terror. As long as they enforce their malevolence,their decrees work, and this is the secret of the radical Salafirealm. (Not all Salafis are guilty of the excesses of the“Caliphate,” though, but the misunderstanding of Salafi beliefs byindividuals have led to this type of Extremism.)Their “territory” encompasses about four million civilians over thesquare mileage of the geographical mass of Britain as of this atwriting.As can be perceived, a grossly different mode of Islam are beingexpressed from the norm. Unfortunately, because they are using theword “Islamic” to describe their “State,” this leads non-Muslims tomistake the heretical for the true Islamic norm(s).In governance, ISIS is more brutal but less arbitrary in theiradministration of Sharia. In the autocratic nations within the Arablands, law is enforced less arbitrary but more autocratically. Thismakes it to defeat them, for, like he Taliban in the 1990s, they wereto get a degree of loyalty from the “public” by bringing “order” tothe landscape provided you were the right ethnicity who believe asthey do. Eventually, though, their viciousness alienated them fromthe populace.One of the gravest disasters for the evolvement of Arab democracy wasthe coup in Egypt. The (Islamist) Muslim Brotherhood had played byall the rules of an opposition party, but when it was able to claimthe government on their own, they were overthrown. If anythingIslamist Democracy was (temporarily) destroyed; leaving the option ofa Jihadic State attractive. The option became Caliphate, and itbecame attractive to many young Muslim who were already alienated. Tothose, the Islamic State had resonance. Yet, through this modernizedCaliphate, Islam, itself fell unjustly from the world’s grace.Convocation of American Muslim scholars has declared this War violatesthe principle for Islamic War!Previously, Hamidi felt this “State” was predicted and predictablethis. (Today [the 24th]; a Frenchman was beheaded in Algeria.Further below the Sahara, Boko Haram in Nigeria has declared itself tobe part of the Caliphate. How it differs from al-Qaeda which did notclaim territory, it does. This makes the battle from it muchdifferent. As a State IS, it is bound by the Laws of War and humanrights. At the moment, it is no State because it has no humanity asPresident Obama said Wednesday. Yet, as a State they can be attackedunder those laws, and held up to those laws.)Regrettably, ISIL – or a form of it will be with us in one form oranother for a long time as the chief American target – who were notwell known — because that small group was about ready to attack theHomeland. Yet, are “we doing enough to stop them?”The U.S. has been sprouting our anti-terrorism rhetoric for some time.(At the same this country has been denouncing Assad, but this battlecannot be won without his government, yet he has been made into Satanitself, going back to the assertion of Arab Nationalism in thepropaganda of Israeli national interests. Recently, the factunderplayed, the United States has announced to Damascus their attacksbeforehand(The other is Iran — whose demonization here, again, is due to thepropaganda from Israel – we must make rapporchment together. Sottovoce, Tehran and Washington have been coordinating with each other inthis struggle already. Australia will be deploying soon, andWestminster is declaring war formally on the 25th.(The Americans and the French – along with the Iraqi and Syrian airforces have already established attacks.(Most remarkable was the United /states and the Sunni powers –Bahrain,Jordan, Saudi Arabia Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) dividedin tandem against ISIS.(The Shia and Sunni must unite to defeat this horror — much likeRussia with America and Europe during the Second World War…Dr. Shadi Hamid, remarking on his former allusion to a “Rhetoric ofTerrorism,” We have to have a deeper diction.Then, he concludes, with the American Right and Center, ask who themoderate Syrian rebels are? (One such group is accused of selling anAmerican prisoner to ISIS for their own financial benefits. That wasthe first on to be beheaded on video tape.(It is true that the United States was fooled in training the moderateopposition, who, in turn, have turned up in the ranks of the IS“Islamic State.”
