Islamic State - ISIS

[Rainbow Moonlight]

From the following links I can put together a picture-

It is after the town of Mosul and adjacent oil fields were taken that Western outrage hotted up. The group also holds towns with oil fields in Syria.

There also seems to be some misinformation regarding the group's origins- they are often presented in media as Sunni Islamic extremists, when what they are is much more complex than that. The movement grew out of the Muslim Brotherhood and Al Qaueda, and those groups were apparently encouraged in the early days by the CIA. The theological leader of this broader group was fairly clearly of this origin- but the current leader of the the group called ISIS is apparently Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and in the BBC profile of him it says he was a cleric, is a strong military strategist, and was thought to be a radical jihadist WHILE Saddam Hussein was in charge of Iraq.

I also remember thinking earlier that Syria would be the US's next target. In one of the reports I found ISIS was reported as The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, while another still held it as The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.

What threat does this proposed Caliphate actually offer, except to oil, (and possibly water) interests, and to the people in the region who want peace? Is this a backdoor way to attack Syria, been carefully built by the CIA since after the Iraq invasion?

Any thoughts?

Isis ‘plot’ to film beheading on Australia’s street prompts raids

Fears that Islamic extremists were plotting “demonstration killings” has prompted raids on dozens of homes across Australia.

Tony Abbott, the hawkish prime minister, said the action came following information that a senior Islamic State militant had ordered the murders.

He said: “The exhortations, quite direct exhortations, were coming from an Australian who is apparently quite senior in Isil [Isis] to networks of support back in Australia to conduct demonstration killings here in this country.

“So this is not just suspicion, this is intent and that’s why the police and security agencies decided to act in the way they have.”

A major pre-dawn operation by more than 800 officers detained 15 people. So far one person has been charged with serious terrorism-related offences.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation said court documents were expected to reveal that the plan involved snatching a random member of the public in Sydney, draping them in an Islamic State flag and beheading them on camera.

“These people, I regret to say, do not hate us for what we do, they hate us for who we are and how we live. That’s what makes us a target,” said Mr Abbott.

“It’s important our police and security organisations be one step ahead of them and this morning they were.”

The head of the New South Wales police force, Commissioner Andrew Scipione, said: “The violence was to be perpetrated on a member of the public on the streets.”

The man, charged with serious terrorism-related offences, is due in a Sydney court today.

Court documents tendered by authorities are expected to detail the man’s plan in full.

“Police believe this group had started planning to commit violent acts in Australia. Those acts related to random acts against public,” Andrew Colvin, the Australian federal police acting commissioner, said.

The operation is understood to have been given the green light after months of surveillance of Australians believed to be linked to Isis.

The strikes were linked to a Brisbane man who was recently arrested on suspected terrorism-related charges.

The terror cell targeted in the raids is believed to have been close to an attack, and reports have emerged that the groups may have been planning beheadings or mass shootings on home soil.

At least one weapon was seized in the counterterrorism operation this morning.

The raids came as the first of Australia’s 600 military personnel to go to the Middle East in preparation for a war upon Isis fighters who have overrun large tracts of Syria and Iraq.

The Australian deployment against Isis will include 200 SAS troopers and 12 RAAF Super Hornet jet fighters.

The Australian Government had expressed grave concerns over the numbers of former Australian residents who have travelled to Syria to fight alongside jihadists. It estimates that 160 Australian residents are either fighting with Isis forces or engaged in support roles.

In July a former Sydney man, Khaled Sharrouf shocked the west posted pictures online from Syria of his 7-year-old son holding the severed head of a Syrian soldier.

In Sydney on Wednesday Australian financial regulators shut down an international currency transfer business being operated by Khaled Sharrouf’s sister and his brother-in-law after becoming concerned that tens of millions of dollars the agency had sent to Turkey and Lebanon could not be accounted for. The firms’ licence was suspended on the grounds of suspected terrorism financing.

Anyone want my view of the so-called Middle East? Probably not but I will, as usual, give it anyway .... apparently it is a Western nomenclature and clumps the lot of "them" as a "whole". The area is, in fact, an area of many, many different little cultures and has been since the year dot and way before Christ .... so they don't like us very much. Stiff luck!

You all knew that, didn't you?

This is why NOTHING will ever sort out that area .... apart from a huge bomb that dissipates EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE .......... including Israel in the Middle East. Let them see whether GOD is their side or not once they are ALL deceased.

Happy Days.
