Islamic State more dangerous than you think

 

 

By jihadist video footage of the execution of two American journalists broke the silence of the Western states, and Barack Obama has officially declared war on the Islamic you. Militants from the Islamic State took the already huge areas in Iraq and Syria. Intimidated society, or saves an escape, or is the victim of brutal murders. There are also those who just join in the structure of the fundamentalists, increasing their strength.

But this fight will not be easy, because the Sunnis of the Islamic State are well organized. – Structure of an Islamic state based on al-Qaeda militants, as well as former soldiers and officers of the Iraqi army, from the period of Saddam Hussein – said prof. Edward Haliżak from the Institute of International Relations, University of Warsaw. It is they who are the foundation of the Islamic State, as a trained and experienced revolutionaries. – Radicals took over a significant part of the military equipment of the Iraqi army. These are tanks, armored personnel carriers, guns, rifles or means of communication that once the United States made available to Iraq rządzonemu by Shiites, which is a paradox – adds Professor. Haliżak.

IS rapidly increases the number of its members. Affected by poverty society that has little to lose, readily proclaimed by jihadist slogans. The blame for the failures blamed the West, seen as imperious and corrupt. Inducement to radically fight with other views than the particularly attracted Islamic rebels – They have a sense of alienation and discrimination on the part of Western societies. It requires a sense of envy and jealousy that representatives of white youth goes all the record better results in science or in business. It all gives a feeling of hatred and revenge.

Is another intervention by the Americans help? Certainly facilitate the fight against fundamentalist Shiites and Kurds who lost their domination in the region. – Strategy Americans tend to follow to support the Iraqi army, logistically – providing them with intelligence information and providing support for military aviation – says the professor. To the success of a need, however, much more, even the isolation of the areas of crisis countries such as Turkey, or withhold funding flowing from rich Saudi Arabia.
