Jordan faces looming crisis with Isis : Comments

By David Singer, published 2/7/2014

Jordan's greatest national security threat currently is neither the Syrian regime nor the potential use of chemical weapons - it is the spread of the Islamic State's ideology and the spillover of the jihadist civil war into Jordan.

Who cares, is a reasonable response.
I think we might well be seeing a battle for power between the most
fanatical and the more fanatical. Hopefully the resolution of this
1400 year old struggle will leave the Arabs so weakened that they will
no longer be a threat to "The West".
However whoever wins, or worse neither side wins, if they are not
significantly weakened "we" are next in line.

They have warned us, it is no secret they intend to invade and force
us to be moslems or die. They have warned that they will use a mixture
of military and womb means.

We have been at war with the Arabs since before the Crusades and only
temporary truces have been implemented.

OUG,

Where on earth do you get this notion that Israel has been training ISIS thugs ? Do you understand anything at all about the Middle East ? If you had wanted to make some off-the-top-of-the-head comment about links between the Israelis and Assad in Syria, that would be more believable. Your anti-Semitism-at-any-price is showing, OUG.

Yes, if I were in Jordan, I would be very concerned about ISIS, and I'm sure that back-channels are strengthening links between Jordan and Israel full-pelt.

ISIS has captured four thousand Humvees (4,000!) - they can move tens of thousands of troops around the entire Middle east with that sort of transport, from the frontiers of Kurdistan across to Jordan and as far south as Basra and Kuwait, from one battle-front to another. We should be very concerned: this is an army, not a rag-tag bunch.

OHH JOE/YOUR AS ONE EYED AS ANYONE
you think..secularists/claiming a right to gods land/is\pefectly kosha/correct?

http://www.intifada-palestine.com/2014/06/isis-insurrection-serves-israels-interests/ n the June 22 edition of NBC’s Meet the Press, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu let slip his government’s intention to divide and conquer the Middle East.Remarking on the latest ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) incursions into Iraq, Netanyahu expressed the desire of his regime to promote internal strife in Israel’s neighbouring states. “We must weaken both [Sunni and Shia Muslims],” Netanyahu said, implying that it is in Israel’s interests to have Muslims fighting and squabbling amongst themselves.“When your enemies are fighting each other, don’t strengthen either one of them, weaken both,” said the arrogant Zionist leader.That is what ISIS was created to do. The terrorist militia’s American, Israeli and Saudi backers are content to see these roving bands of malcontents and marauders behead their way to Damascus and Baghdad. What better way to solidify Israel’s position as the sole hegemon in the region?Fragmenting, weakening and balkanizing the Middle East has been part and parcel of the Zionist impulse from the very beginnings of the Jewish state.Israeli strategist Oded Yinon candidly outlined this imperialist line of thought in his 1982 paper “A Strategy for Israel in the 1980s.” A strong, unified Iraq is Israel’s primary military concern, Yinon stressed. He went on to advocate the territorial dissection of Iraq into three statelets along ethnic and confessional lines. He promoted much the same scenario for Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, Iran and other Arab/Muslim states surrounding Israel.

OUG,

Netanyahu is certainly not the only one to believe that letting the Sunnis and Shi'ites go at each other provides a breathing-space for the rest of the world. Once they have fought each other to something like a horrific stand-still, perhaps, instead of war, we'll see some steps towards unity of both, or at least collaboration, to ideologically join with the rest of the world. But I'm not optimistic, since after all, their differences are not doctrinal in terms of the Koran (or maybe I'm wrong there ?)

Sooner or later, the Islamic world will have to move on to have its own Enlightenment, although not while Islam has any influence. I hope to Christ it doesn't take another thousand years, before they come to see the value of equality of men and women, the rule of (secular) law and democratic succession and participation.

There are 5 million muslims in France and millions more throughout Europe. The U.S. is heavily indebited and suffering from political paralysis. Much of this debt is due to America fighting Israeli wars. But that is now irrelevant; it is in steep decline and losing authority and relevance quickly.

I reckon Jewish Israel has about another 50 years max. In future centuries, people will look back and think it extraordinary that a people who hadn't had a home since the fall the of second temple managed to convince the world that god somehow invited them back. It will be an intriguing blip.

Dear Bazz,

<<I think we might well be seeing a battle for power between the most fanatical and the more fanatical.>>

We are seeing it already, but in between are many ordinary people that are not fanatical at all, just like you and me, who suffer greatly. This includes the vast majority of Jordanians. Anyone with a heart would care for them.
