A new study from George Washington University on the affiliation of terror suspects within the United States over the last five years found that despite official emphasis being almost exclusively on ISIS, they only account for roughly half of the suspects in question.
The study revealed that the “other half” of the suspects were either unaffiliated or linked with over a dozen different groups, many of which identify themselves as rivals of ISIS, including a number of al-Qaeda affiliates and allies.
The study also identified US suspects from the Islamic Jihad Union, the Taliban, the Pakistani Taliban, the Taliban’s affiliate Ansar-ul Mujahideen, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, Ansar Dine, and Lashkar-e Taiba, along with Somalia’s al-Shabaab.
The report warned it was dangerous for the US to highly prioritize a single group when so many suspects are not only from unaffiliated factions, but even from overt rivals. Indeed, even as the US has continued to arrest al-Qaeda suspects, the formal focus on al-Qaeda’s forces in places like Syria has died down to the point that the Obama Administration is treating them as a de facto ally.
There really is nothing new about our (US) Government’s effectively treating both ISIS and Al Qaeda as its allies in its long-announced campaign for “regime change” in Syria. For years US intelligence agencies have known the exact locations of ISIS and Al Qaeda forces occupying specific cities, towns and villages throughout Syria, and made no attempt to strike those known terrorist forces until Russia intervened militarily and provided sufficient support for the Syrian government forces to turn the tide of war against ISIS and Al Qaeda (Al Nusra). It seems clear that if the Syrian government were not on the verge of winning the war, our Government would still be effectively supporting ISIS and Al Qaeda to achieve “regime change” in Syria. The question remains as to why our Government ever chose to prioritize “regime change” of a Syrian government which posed no threat whatsoever to our nation, over the elimination of Al Qaeda terrorists who killed 3,000 of our fellow citizens on 9/11? It seems to me that our “leaders” in Washington (both Democratic and Republican) owe us citizens an honest answer to that question.
There is perhaps a thousand Muslim groups that are more than willing to use terrorism to get what they want Just declaring 1 of these groups as enemies and terrorists while forgetting about all the rest is not likely to have much effect on the whole scheme of Islamic terrorism . The United states has been concentrating on establishing democracies under a world government and not really paying much attention if they might be terrorist or not .Islamic terrorism does not seem to be something that even crosses our minds Many of our leaders refuse to even utter those two words together , As we have often supported these Jihadist to help us shape the NWO in the shape we think we want the world to be . We seem to believe World government will be just fine If it is a democracy I really don’t believe this and I’am not even sure there can be such a government as a Muslim democracy
