2016-12-15 Terror Networks
From Cairo to Istanbul, the devil is the same
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] At around the same time, terrorism has once again revealed its hideous face in Egypt and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
. A monstrous strike targeted women, children and worshippers at the famous Saint Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Abbasiya, Cairo. At least 25 were killed and 31 others injured.

The terror that struck Istanbul was another evil act of terrorism. The Kurdistan Freedom Hawks (TAK) claimed the twin attacks ‐ a boom-mobile followed by a suicide kaboom less than a minute later ‐ that killed 38 people outside a sports stadium. This madness will unfortunately continue as there is a link between all that is happening and even if it does not appear to be the case.

The terror targeting Turkey is being nurtured through Syria and perhaps through Iraq as ISIS has categorized Turkey an enemy after it engaged in the war against it. There is also the war against the Kurdish militias in support of Russia and Iran and which aim to establish a Kurdish state that separates between Turkey, Syria and Iraq.

ISIS is the final form of armed fundamentalist outburst, which uses the concept of the "caliphate" and "jihad", and are fighting the "enemies of Islam" as a means to recruit and mobilize especially after the West let down the Syrian people and the Russian and the Iranian regimes conspired against Syria and Iraq.

Egypt has a different kind of terrorism even though there is a link to ISIS in all these places and to Syria and Iraq and to al-Qaeda. Ahmad Salama Mabruk, aka Abu al-Faraj al-Masri, sat next to Abu Mohammed al-Julani when the new alliance of Fateh al-Sham
...formerly al-Nusra, the current false nose and mustache of al-Qaeda in the Levant...
was announced. In other words, the source of chaos, destruction and incitement to terrorism, as these groups put it, is what is happening in Syria.

Syria’s volcano, and now Iraq’s, is spewing out its lava on everyone. Torrents of fire are spilling into neighboring countries or rather across the entire world. The US, the world’s major superpower, probably thinks that its "isolation" from the Middle East is the solution and that it can settle down to just fighting ISIS and al-Qaeda.

Major illusion
This is a major illusion because letting Iran and Russia commit crimes in Syria and Iraq clearly means more of ISIS and non-ISIS terrorism and more of international terrorism in the West and the US itself. It’s all crystal clear.

In his The National Interest article last week, Amitai Etzioni,
...Wikipedia says Mr. Etzioni, born Werner Falk, 4 January 1929 in Germany, is an Israeli-American sociologist, best known for his work on socioeconomics and communitarianism [whatever that is]. It is a sign of our changing times that Al Arabiya quotes a former Palmachnik...
Professor of International Relations at The George Washington University, wrote: "Such a Shiite-dominated Middle East is going to be ‐ and, in effect, already is ‐ a major breeding ground for transnational terrorism that is spreading into Europe and is threatening the US homeland."

The roads to terrorism lead to one another and the solution is to block all of their supply chains. Is Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
, the new leader of America, aware of that?
