  • TO BEAT ISIS, THE ARAB WORLD MUST PROMOTE POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS REFORMS

    Article dont les parties (très) pertinentes sont complètement annulées par le sempiternel et toujours époustouflant appel aux dirigeants occidentaux, étasuniens en particulier, pour l’aide à la correction de ces tares, sans jamais évoquer en premier lieu leur immense responsabilité dans la perpétuation des tares en question (et leur aggravation par leurs agressions répétées contre la région), et sans jamais se poser la question de savoir si leur « sécurité nationale » n’impose pas cette perpétuation.

    More than oil, Saudi Arabia’s chief export is Wahhabism, which it has promoted around the world through its embassies and mosques to eventually be cloned by jihadist groups, like ISIS. Wahhabism is the most conservative, oppressive and exclusionary form of Islam, which considers all non-Wahhabists enemies — especially Shi’ites. Osama bin Laden was steeped in Wahhabism, as are many Sunni Jidahists in Iraq and Syria today, such as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

    Glancing at historical facts, the evidence is undoubtedly clear. The fundamental cause of the production of extremism in the Arab world lies in a culture of oppressive political exclusion, coupled with religious bigotry. It is up to the United States to do more to encourage inclusive politics in Arab states, as it recently did in Iraq when it forced Maliki out of the prime minister’s office because of his exclusive and sectarian policies.
