Islamic Extremism is an American Industry!!
Published in Alriyadh on 10 - 01 - 2014

"Daesh" or The Islamic State in Iraq & Sham has become an alternative to Al-Baath two wings in the two countries as it is comprised of Islamists, Baathists & others who have been joined together due to the evolving conditions. Some calls have shown that it is fighting the two regimes but there is a doubt of that they are created or made by the said two regimes. Like Frankenstein the monster; "Daesh" has become a force which strikes, occupies and pretend / show loyalty or hostility. The strange thing is that what is going on in Al-Anbaar, in spite of Al-Maliki's state claims of that it is fighting terrorism, is attacking and striking the Sunni tribes who are regarded as terrorists in his concept. On the other side, we realize that Al-Assad is celebrating the fight occurring between the opposition parties in the Syrian North, in spite of that they started to lose their spots in Aleppo and the other cities.
It has been said that this strange newborn is a branch for Al-Qaeda or that he rebelled against it. How this strange combination has happened inside this group & who is financing them and providing them with arms and weapons? We may consider that individuals can be recruited from the local citizens or from somewhere abroad, the way the other extremist organizations for which the safes have been opened are doing but we are still facing vague talismans in regard to what is being planned by the regimes of the two countries for this organization?
Within security disorder in any country, contradictions are usually born and lead to the rise of organizations which have allies with some external powers. This situation makes the contents of the tensed internal relationship visible which leads to that Al-Qaeda shall establish such trends together with their conflicts. The strange thing is that Syria & Iraq who adopted the Arab union trend, had been governed by Arabists (i.e. callers for Arabs' unity) & had formed the Arab national project had been the most hostile against each other in regard to their internal conflicts. This hostility has been reflected on their present time in a tragic way to the extent of that the sectarian and national division status will be the coming formula.
Iraq had become already divided while Syria's dividing plan / map shall be considered or put during the next Geneva conference as a target that shall join East and West. This is why the Russians have raised the choice of either terrorism scarecrow or Al-Assad as an inevitable choice while America who witnessed the complex of Taliban & Al-Qaeda and lost its influence due to its chase of any communist, Islamic or national trend have started to abandon such tasks for preserving the non-binding diplomatic opinion in regard to launching adventures and wars. In regard to Syria & in spite of that it is satisfied about that Israel shall be kept safe; the United States knows that its position is not related to an internal condition as the symbolism of "Daesh" itself opens the way for the establishment of coming allies through the race for establishing a Sunni crescent as an alternative to the Shiite Crescent. Even the marginal Sunnis of Iran may join such Sunni crescent. At this stage, in spite of Syria's being a state and a regime for every one; it shall be a base for creating a chaos in the whole region, especially if we consider that its strategic location provides it with the reason for preserving long term wars.
If Lebanon is subject to the authority and power of Hezbollah together with an ally of some Maroni Christians in the present time, in addition to a Sunni front which is growing for responding or confronting the Iranian incursion; The flaming line shall be a geographic extension which starts in Iraq but may not end in Lebanon when supporting powers from Jordan and Turkey interfere. Meanwhile, Israel may play the role of Fires maker through its various means. Through all of this; we can realize the clear features of long term sectarian wars.
The United States is the one who created and supported the courses of extremism starting from leaving Afghanistan to fight itself and ending with delivering Iraq to Iran and refusing to resist Al-Assad's regime or supporting the Syrian opposition when it was coherent.
If we suppose that it left the Sheppard and the sheep in the region alone; it shall be the target of any of extremist groups.
In general, Will the state of Iraq and Sham be born as a Sunni region that shall expand on a bigger area later and becomes an alternative choice which substitutes the Iraqi and Syrian regimes or is it that a new cycle shall rise and brings the biggest and most dangerous confrontations?
