ONE PISSED OFF SENIOR - THE ISLAMIC STATE IS NOT A 21st CENTURY PROBLEM

Make no mistake the conflict in the Middle East is a religious war between Sunni and Shi’ite Muslims, the Christian World and Hebrews.

 For Muslims it began in the 6^th century with the death of Mohammed and the different view of who should be his successor. For Christians it began in the 6^th century with their quest to liberate “The Holy Land” from the barbaric Muslims. For Hebrews it is the “Promised Land”.

Sunni’s are the majority group with about 80 to 85 percent of the World’s Muslims while Shi’ite are the remainder. There are other smaller groups however it is difficult to determine exact numbers since the majority of states such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Yemen are under Sunni control and there is no interest in the numbers. Iran is the only state with a Shi’ite majority.

The quest to liberate “The Birth Place of Christianity” started with the first crusade in the 6^th century and has continued ever since, with Jerusalem being considered the most Holy of cities and the origin of religion.

All three religious groups lay claim to Jerusalem.

The 21^st century problems have been exasperated and compounded not only by the influx of displaced European Jew’s who landed in “The Promised Land”, but by a lust for oil and corporate greed. In today’s World it is corporations and lobbyists who dictate government thought and policy.

The weapons and munitions industry has a vested interest in the continuation of conflict.

The ISLAMIC STATE is nothing more than a cult similar to a Christian Doomsday Cult. Both interpret their religious doctrines to suit their own cause; neither is truly representative of their claimed religion.

The real problem for a solution is the promotion of fear, hate and ignorance by all sides of the issue as they each try to oppress and degrade one another.

Be part of the solution rather than a source of the problem; educate yourself and stop the lies.
