    إذا نجح الغرب في إعادة غزو المنطقة (وهم لم ينسحب منها، أصلاً) لدحر «داعش»، وهذا ما يتمناه الجميع، إذ ان ذلك له الأولوية الزمنية، فإنه سوف يعيد تشكيل المنطقة ومجتمعها على أساس الطوائف والمذهبيات والهويات المعطاة، من دون الأخذ بالاعتبار أهمية الفرد في مواجهة الدولة. تفقد الدولة سيادتها مع التدخل. ويفقد الإنسان فرديته. هذا ما علمتنا إياه تجربة العراق.

    Utile rappel :

    Si l’Occident réussit à envahir de nouveau la région (bien qu’il ne l’ait jamais vraiment quittée) pour vaincre Daesh, et c’est ce que tout le monde souhaite car c’est la priorité de l’heure, [cet Occident] réorganisa la région et ses sociétés sur une base ethnique, confessionnelle et identitaire, sans s’arrêter à la place de l’individu au regard de l’Etat. L’Etat perdra sa souveraineté avec l’intervention [militaire étrangère], l’individu perdra sa capacité à être un individu. C’est ce que nous a appris l’expérience irakienne.

    The Angry Arab News Service/وكالة أنباء العربي الغاضب : Saudi-Qatari rivalry
    ▻http://angryarab.blogspot.fr/2014/08/saudi-qatari-rivalry.html

    Saudi-Qatari rivalry
    From a reader: “Has there been a more disgusting, murderous manifestation of the Saudi-Qatari rivalry — at the cost of thousand of innocent lives — than the creation of ISIS and Jabhat an-Nusrah respectively? I can’t think of one.”

    The Angry Arab News Service/وكالة أنباء العربي الغاضب : ISIS and the Syrian « revolution »
    ▻http://angryarab.blogspot.fr/2014/08/isis-and-syrian-revolution.html

    Utile rappel : c’est la « romanticisation » de la « révolution » syrienne qui a produit Isis/Daesh

    ISIS and the Syrian “revolution”
    Of all the theories and the explanation about ISIS none are admitting the obvious: that it is the product of the Syrian “revolution” and its romanticization. There would not have been thousands of people flocking from the West to join the cause if ISIS if the West didn’t glamorize the Syrian “revolution” and invented the notion that a moderate Syrian command is leading the fight against Asad. A person on Twitter reminded me how the Syrian “rebels” (the so-called moderates among them) used to brag about the power of ISIS and they raised the slogan داعش_عرأس_الأسد (Stepping on Asad’s head—it is a pun in Arabic).

      I understand why Westerners are joining jihadi movements like ISIS. I was almost one of them.
      ►http://www.washingtonpost.com/posteverything/wp/2014/09/03/i-understand-why-westerners-are-joining-the-islamic-state-i-was-almo

      My imagined scenario of liberating Chechnya and turning it into an Islamic state was a purely American fantasy, grounded in American ideals and values. Whenever I hear of an American who flies across the globe to throw himself into freedom struggles that are not his own, I think, What a very, very American thing to do.

      And that’s the problem. We are raised to love violence and view military conquest as a benevolent act. The American kid who wants to intervene in another nation’s civil war owes his worldview as much to American exceptionalism as to jihadist interpretations of scripture. I grew up in a country that glorifies military sacrifice and feels entitled to rebuild other societies according to its own vision. I internalized these values before ever thinking about religion. Before I even knew what a Muslim was, let alone concepts such as “jihad” or an “Islamic state,” my American life had taught me that that’s what brave men do.
