what a joke you are-----Yemen? its sunnis vs Shiites ---which ones you want to call "the extremists"?
I am calling AQAP extremists in Somalia, and it has largely been both the Shafis and the Zaidi who have been fighting them. My Yemen example has nothing to do with Sunni vs Shiites.
Somalia---Islamic faction against Islamic faction.
So you agree with me then that Muslims are on the front line fighting against Al Shabaab. Good.
which are the
"extremists" Iraq? ISIS vs kurds???----vs Shiites??
Kurds are largely Muslims too.
Libya----one insane Islamic faction against they other.
Mali? same thing
You should study both regions and conflicts a little more if you honestly feel comfortable reducing their conflicts to the above. In either case it seems like you've conceded the point that it is generally Muslims fighting radical Muslim groups in these areas.
you are a joke-----I have conceded WHAT??? I have conceded that for the past 1400 years muslims have engaged in internecine fighting -----basing their conflcts on anything
from religious doctrine to-----(as in the Yemeni civil war raging since circa 1960) WHO GETS THE OIL and to
WHO GETS TO BE CALIPH. I fail to see the situation as
"the good guys vs the bad guys". Who are the "good guys" and who are the "bad guys" ----in the Shiite vs Sunni
thing going on since the inception of Pakistan? Since we are on the subject-----who were the good guys and who were the bad guys in the 1971 Pakistani civil war?
I stated that most of the fighting against these radical groups that we currently hate is being done by Muslims. You admitted that this was true. Pretty straight forward.
wrong again-----I did not 'admit' anything. I correctly stated that muslims fight with each other. At no time did I suggest
that muslims fight with each other in the interests of civilization or decency. The US made a huge mistake in
the 1980s in funding the Taliban pigs just because they
were fighting the USSR. Their motivation for fighting
was the estabslishment of shariah shit in Afghanistan.
The Taliban didn't exist in its modern form during the 80s. We routed funds through Pakistan to many groups fighting the Soviets, including some of the predecessors of the Taliban, but the Taliban hadn't yet been established.
Try again, "professor"------you can learn something from me---you are suggesting that THE TALIBAN did not exist in
the 1980s because they were not KNOWN world wide as
"THE TALIBAN"? They existed----their brothers and cousins and classmates told me about them way back then.
For those who do not know----THE TALIBAN----are the cream
of Pakistani youth. "IDEALISTIC" utopianist ---sunni muslims recruited off the college campuses of Pakistan. They went to Afghanistan to do what an idealistic
Pakistani is taught is IDEAL since infancy-----a STRICT
SHARIAH SOCIETY. The name itself does refer to the
fact that the bulk of them were students. (I don't know
Urdu) The white house saw them as useful----and so funded them. They turned out to be more like henchmen
to pol pot. For the record---the white house did not ask
my opinion. What they did was predictable.
