It is incredible that this dichotomy between Sunni and Shia is so well hidden from Western readers. I had to run to Google countless times over the years to keep this straight. The bottom line is that we are supporting precisely the wrong side.
Please take note:
Sunnis are
the Islamic fundamentalists. The more radical of them believe anyone
who disagrees with them must die. Unfortunately, Sunnis make up the bulk of
the Muslim world. Shia make up most of the rest. Ironically, Syria and Ir
Shia (Shiites) have all committed the "sin" of interpreting the
Koran liberally. They are therefore the targets of Sunni
radicals.
Who are the Sunni radicals?
They are the terrorists in the Middle East, like Al Qaeda and ISIS,
and also the Taliban. They are supported by terror supporting countries,
headed by Sunni-majority Saudi Arabia. NONE of the terrorists who
attacked the Twin Towers, for example, were Shia!
If we fought mostly the Sunni terrorists and defeated them, we
would all be a LOT safer. Instead, we had a major role in creating them: the
Taliban in Afghanistan, Al Qaeda, and now ISIS. One major reason for Western
support of the latter 2 terror groups was to overthrow Assad in
majority-Shia Syria, even though Assad is the only thing standing
between Syrian Christians and death, persecution, banishment and loss of all
their historic landmark churches. In other words, Assad represents true
tradtional Western values while our "allies" -- like the Western elites --
hate those values. This will never work out well for the West! Yet the
sheeple have been bamboozled so far into accepting the absurdity that we
must defeat the less radical Shia and support the more-radical
Sunnis.
The US and, unfortunately, Israel, have thrown their weight to
Sunni Saudi Arabia, for various
reasons:
1--The Saudis have the most oil
2--The Saudi royals are willing to compromise with the West and
with Israel.
This means that we have an untenable foreign policy where the
natural allies of the American people, ie, the less radical Shia,
are declared the enemy, while the more dangerous trouble makers, the Sunni
are our actual "allies" (but in fact¿, ONLY the allies of the Western
oligarchy, NOT the peoples of the West).
This is based mostly on cowardice. The Western
eliltes really don't want to fight the Sunni radicals like
ISIS who are are protected by the Saudis, who send money and arms to Al
Qaeda and ISIS. Another important reason for Western support of
Sunnis is that the entire Western oligarchy despises Judeo-Christian
culture and are more than willing to put all Western peoples at risk to
stamp out this culture, from which our prosperity and our
free enterprise grew. We will never defeat ISIS until we change
our foreign policy radically and put the Saudis in their
place.
There is only one way this could possibly be done: by allying with
Russia, which is respected in the majority-Shia countries of Syria and
Iran.
But the Western elites invariably ally with the wrong people
and antagonizes the natural allies of the people they falsely claim to
represent.
Worse, there have been a few essentially non-Muslim (secular)
regimes that have brought progress to their people. These include the Kurds
as well as Ghadaffi, Mubarak and Saddam, all of whom were overthrown through
Western influence to usher in more radical Islamic regimes. Of these, only
one was a true troublemaker at the time he was overthrown, and that was
Saddam, who threatened Israel. Could he have been influenced through
diplomacy? Possibly, for example, if Russia and/or China had been involved
in the diplomatic effort. But no one will ever know. The Western
oligarchy has lost the art of diplomacy and refuses to use
it.
America has not truly won a war for over 70 years. Any
wonder why?
If Israel goes through with its plan to attack Shiite Iran, all
bets are off.
