We have to ally with moderate Islamic jihadists to stop immoderate Islamic jihadists.
Yesterday’s satire is today’s headline. I used to make jokes about allying with moderate Al Qaeda to fight extremist Al Qaeda. Now it’s literally happening.
Tom Barrack, Turkey’s envoy to America, who misleadingly functions as America’s envoy to Turkey and its occupied territories, which these days includes Syria, has announced that its terrorist Al-Qaeda regime led by Al-Jolani (the terrorist leader currently wearing a suit and going by a different name, who used to have a $10 million reward on his head from us due to the whole Al Qaeda thing) will join the anti-ISIS coalition.
Barrack is working, on behalf of Turkey, currently a state sponsor of Islamic terror, to get Congress to drop sanctions on Syria so that the Islamic terrorist group running the place can join the coalition against Islamic terrorism.
“We are trying to get everybody to be a partner in this alliance, which is huge for them,” Barrack, a major Lebanese Arab donor and Jeffrey Epstein associate (Epstein reportedly gifted Barrack an $11,000 watch) who had previously been in court for acting as an unregistered foreign agent of a Muslim oil country (he was acquitted), claimed.
There’s a minor little problem here in that Al-Jolani and his terror group, which is now the Syrian ‘government’, were allied with ISIS until the various internal politics led them closer to Al Qaeda. ISIS was originally Al Qaeda in Iraq, a murderous terrorist group that couldn’t decide if it wanted to kill U.S. soldiers or Shiites more, leading it to split with Osama bin Laden who objected to killing other Muslims (he was obviously a fan of killing American soldiers.)
So the good news here is that we’re allying with moderate ISIS to fight extremist ISIS.
Moderate ISIS represents the true moderate spirit of Islam in that it only wants to kill non-Muslims while extremist ISIS wants to also kill Shiite Muslims.
We must fight to help moderate ISIS to uphold the traditional values of killing non-Muslims against the extremism of killing Muslims who differ on which Caliph should have taken over a thousand years ago.
Unless… there emerges an ‘extremist extremist ISIS’ which also seeks to kill many Sunni Muslims.
In which case we will have to ally with ‘extremist ISIS’ which (if the historical track record holds will by then control several countries and parts of New York City, Minneapolis and Michigan) against ‘extremist extremist ISIS’ to uphold the truly moderate extremist values of moderate Islamic extremism.
We have to ally with moderate Islamic extremists to stop immoderate Islamic extremists to truly reform Islam. Or get ourselves blown up.
Probably the latter.
On a related note… America is Spreading ISIS Around the World
Even while one arm of the Trump administration is trying to deport Islamic terrorists and their supporters, another is trying to import them into our communities and around the world.
While ISIS is rebounding in Syria, carrying out 117 attacks, the United States has adopted the position that the tens of thousands of ISIS ‘detainees’ left over from the previous defeat of the Jihadist group have to be distributed around the region and the world including to the U.S.
Hopefully they’re moderate ISIS though.
Bonus: for a blast from the Obama past, there’s the brilliant Latma segment on Islamic ‘extremism’. Sorry it’s in subtitles only.

I can’t believe this policy (which to the best of my knowledge was originally cooked up by Hillary via Abedin) is being used. This is pure insanity. Satan is slapping his knee in glee

I’m not even going to write all that I’ve written in pieces for quite a while. Too daunting a task. And spoonfeed people often disbelieve until they do the actually work themselves and find info.
I’ll just say that trump is not blind nor stupid. Trump is not what his followers think he is. His style is amazing but time will show trump is more horrible than Obama as trump is more by deception rather in your face.

The administration means well; they certainly do not approve of terrorists and are sincere in fostering harmonious relations with everyone in the region. They just don’t understand the nuances involved in establishing the correct strategy for promoting those aims. It’s a bit analogous to how Hitler and the Nazis were misjudged too optimistically by so many in the West before Germany invaded Poland.
It doesn’t help that we have such a shallow-minded intellect as president, and that he is often advised by amateurs like Mr. Witkoff. I’ve heard the phrase know-nothing diplomacy. I’m afraid that this may be an example of it.

To be fair, if you can have “moderate islam” and “radical islam”, then how big a stretch is it to have moderate ISIS vs radical ISIS?
I believe that “moderate ISIS” is Hamas, Hizbullah, Lashkar e Toiba, et al
jewdog says
Moderate ISIS: They give you novocaine before they cut your head off.
Radical ISIS: They use a dull blade and play “I Got You, Babe” in the background.

Great comment, jewdog. It would be funny if not true. My daughter laughed when I read it to her, so I guess it’s funny and true

There is no moderate muslims nor extremist muslims. The so called moderate muslims are the deceiving muslims who fool the gullible infidels so that the so called extremist muslims can kill the infidels easier. The so called moderate muslims simply do not want their hands dirty by killing the infidels so they let the extremists do the job. But as a matter of fact, they work together against the infidels.

True, abu.

US to Ally with ‘Moderate’ ISIS to Fight ‘Extremist’ ISIS

Every Muslim is a terrorist of Allah against all Non-Muslims with discrimination, segregation, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Quran(Quran 8:5, 29, 111, etc.).
Allah’s Islam, a CRIMINAL-TERRORIST-GANG ENTERPRISE and a MURDEROUS-DEMONIC CULT OF BELIEVERS, Terrorist Muslim Soldiers for demonic Allah, continually fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, industrial-scale slavery, human trafficking, intimidation, supremacy, segregation, hatred, incitement to violence, criminality, genocide, victimhood, censorship, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law, Sharia, and in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 5:14,35; 8:60; 9:41, 88, etc.).
Allah stirs hatred against Christians until the resurrection day when Qur’an 5:14 instructs, “And some of those who say, ‘Surely we are Nasara (Christians),’ we took their covenant. So they have forgotten a part of what they were reminded of, so we have stirred up ENMITY and HATRED among them until the resurrection day. And Allah will inform them of what they were doing.” See also Qur’an 60:4.
As taught by Allah, Muslims are supremacist terrorists for Allah with their MONEY and their LIVES. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 states, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed jihad with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” Allah in Qur’an 4:101 says, “…Surely the infidels(Non-Muslims) were your clear enemies.”
ALLAH’S MUSLIMS are a greater TERROR than diabolical Allah. Allah in Qur’an 59:13 says, “You[Muslims] are a greater terror in their chests than Allah. This is because they[Jews & Christians] are people who do not understand.” Islam must be banned as illegal, and we have the legal right to defend ourselves from Muslim violence. As a result, Non-Muslims are marked for death by Islam and its Muslims. Allah in Qur’an 9:29 commands, “Engage in war with those who do not believe in Allah nor in the last day. Nor forbid what Allah and his messenger forbid, nor believe in the religion of the truth among those who have given the book until they pay the jizyah out of hand and they are subdued.”
Again, Islam is a totalitarian and supremacist system of lies and deceit because Allah, the best deceiver, is the actual source of Muslim deceit. Allah in Qur’an 3:54 says, “And they deceived, and Allah deceived. And Allah is the best deceiver.” Allah in Qur’an 8:30 says, “…And Allah is the best deceiver.” Allah in Qur’an 13:42 says, “And indeed, those before them deceived, so to Allah all the deception…”

I can only hope with every fiber of my being that this is just the beginning of the plan to reign all this in.
I’ve been very pessimistic about all this until I read this very article, because I realized there’s no way an anti-Jihad POTUS who is also the biggest supporter of Israel in our lifetime would be comfortable doing any of this. That’s when it clicked for me that he must feel we must do this to achieve a bigger goal. I’m thinking this is a “Kneel before Zod” moment.
I’m only allowing myself to believe this now, because the alternative is too frightening and illogical.

President Trump *is* solidly anti-Jihad–as all Western leaders should be. But, sadly,. he has shown many times that there is much about Islam that he does not understand.
