The West both supports and opposes Islamists


Islamists in Mali.

Western nations support Islamists as often as they oppose them
  • Depending on the country, the West has both bombed and backed Islamists.
  • In Mali we oppose the Islamists.
  • In Syria we support the rebels who are mostly Islamists.


Radical Islamists in Mali on Monday vowed to strike back against France for launching days of airstrikes in the west African nation.  “France has attacked Islam. We will strike at the heart of France,” Abou Dardar, a leader of the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa, told AFP. The group threatened to strike back in France, Mali and elsewhere.

According to AFP, French airstrikes on Sunday killed 60 Islamists in Gao, Mali. French airstrikes resumed Monday, Reuters reported.

Today the West is backing the Muslim government of Mali against Islamist rebels.  But over in Syria the West is supporting Islamists against the secular, pro-Russian and socialist Syrian Baath Party.

Despite openly supporting self-styled Jihadist “revolutionaries” seeking an Islamic theocracy in Syria, and Libya before that, the new socialist French government, with help from other Western powers, has also just launched a series of military attacks against Muslim rebels who seized control of northern Mali.

The controversial operations, ironically, are being taken under the guise of fighting Islamic extremism. Meanwhile, Islamists in the region have vowed retaliation, saying the French attacks were killing civilians and promising to strike “at the heart of France.”

According to French officials, the air-bombing campaigns targeting rebel strongholds throughout Mali are needed to prop up the embattled central government in the capital city of Bamako — a regime widely perceived as illegitimate after the nation’s elected authorities were overthrown by rogue U.S. government-trained military officers.

France’s armed forces directly and openly intervened in the conflict late last week when rebels reportedly began another southward push after having declared independence in the north last year.

“We must stop the rebels’ offensive, otherwise the whole of Mali will fall into their hands — creating a threat for Africa and even for Europe,” claimed French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, attempting to justify his government’s support for the dubious Malian regime and its out-of-control army. “Regarding France’s direct involvement, it is only a matter of weeks. Later on, we can come as back-up, but we have no intention of staying forever.”

The unilateral French intervention in Mali came after the United Nations Security Council voted last month on a resolution purporting to authorize an international invasion of the country. The UN and some of its member states are claiming to be concerned about a complex conflict marked by shifting alliances among rebels, and an illegitimate central government nominally in charge of the south that was installed by military strongmen after a coup in March.

Islamists in Syria
Islamist rebel fighters carry their flag during the funeral of a fellow fighter who died during clashes, outside Aleppo in northern Syria. A similar flag, raised over the Bab al-Hawa border crossing, was at the heart of a dispute that highlights the growing tension between homegrown Syrian rebels and radical Islamists who have flowed into the country.


Iran (1979)  -  The U.S. opposed an Islamic revolution by supporting an absolute, devine right monarchy.  There were no good guys.
.
Afghanistan  -  The most famous case.  The United States funds Osama Bin Laden and the Islamists against the Soviet Union.
.
Bosnia  -  Christian Serbia was at war against Muslims in order to recover lands stolen from Christians during 400 years of Islamic slavery.  The U.S. and NATO attacked Serbia.  In every press report Muslims were never called Muslims.  Instead the press and NATO referred to Muslims as "ethnic Albanians".
.
Afghanistan #2  -  If you can figure out why this war took place you are a better man than I.  We were supposed to after Bin Laden.  Come to find out, Bin Laden was being protected by our "friends" in Pakistan.
.
Iraq  -  The secular and socialist Baath Party of Iraq had the largest military in the Middle East.  Iraq had fought a long and bloody war against Islamist Iran.  The U.S. invaded and abolished this huge anti-Iranian military and replaced the Baath government with a pro-Iranian government.
.
Libya  -  In an illegal and unconstitutional war the U.S. and the West overthrew a government that had been working closely with President Bush against terrorism.  The final outcome in Libya is still in doubt.
.
Egypt  -  Obama and the Western nations are falling all over themselves to fund the Muslim Brotherhood with cash, loans and military equipment.
.
Yemen  -  Obama again is fighting an unconstitutional war against someone.  Islamist they say.  Tribal warfare is in the mix too. 

Syria  -  The U.S. and Western nations join with Islamist Saudi Arabia to overthrow the secular, socialist and pro-Russian Baath government.  Might I add, the secular Baath Party has protected the religious freedom of Syria's 10% Christian minority. 

The Iraq Baathist Republican Guard.
Thanks to the United States this strong anti-Iran army
no longer exists.
