Isis, Wahhabism and The Muslim Brotherhood
I'm perplexed as my understanding of IS or Isis is their ideology is based on Wahhabism, the Muslim brotherhood are based on Wahhabism teachings and spread wide and far amongst Arab countries.
My question is, why are left wing activists here in the UK and the US showing support for Isis?
I am aware of the same old stories of Blair and Bush creating a love nest over Iraq, of arms from the west bring sold to militants, CIA planting this and Isis being created by Israel and the US so the west can cut up and divide the Middle East some more.
On the flip side, I am friends with Kurds and Iraqis who are all secular Muslims, ranging from the man who's Kurdish and escaped Saddam's regime and terror inflicted on his people, he runs a cafe. To my other friends who are artists, journalists and a bus driver, these Aldo escaped Saddam's terror. They have all lived in various Arab States and finally settled in London. The terror they are feeling right now with the rise and movement of Islamic extremism in mosques in the uk and the threat of more terror at airports and worry for any family in the regions, I hear a different angle from them who have experienced this terror. They don't doubt the beheadings of any journalists and intact shone me references to Arab journalists beheadings before Foley or Sotloff, what they do say is that the British left wing is supporting the growth of radical Muslims in the uk and adding to conspiracy theories. They are left wing themselves as secular Muslims and have experienced the right wing doctrines of fundamental Islam, Sunni and Wahhabism teachings, I've seen video footage of the rise of the Muslim brotherhood and secularism ins targeted for not being strict enough, they still pray as much and abide by Allah but the Wahhabi Muslim will consider them non Muslim and therefore can kill them! From 1940 for instance Cairo women walked around like western women but now this is very different, the majority of Egyptian women are in the niqab or hijab whereas in Saudi Arabia all women are covered. How are these teachings in line with western left wing activism for equally. As one noted Egyptian left wing activist has said, the west are shooting themselves in the foot!
