Does anyone understand western foriegn policy? If you did you would know this has been coming for a long time!!!!!

If you did, then you would know that there is no "western" foreign policy. Both the USA and Germany for example, have very different underlying
means to their foreign policy. We dont have a bi-polar world anymore nor do we have one "west" acting in the way of one foreign agenda.

Just my 2 cents on that.

EDIT: Your are, of course, right with the statement, that this came a long way and for me (and i guess many others), it was foreseeable.
This whole Arab Spring and the wanna-be liberation of these countries from their long-lived leaders to turn their societies to "western lifestyle"
could only go wrong. And it did, even worse.

I want to get deeper on the music side of their propaganda video.
If they have their own artists' if that can be considered a music "style", ecc.


and yes, very complex policies.

but it is interesting this weird alliance that includes Russia, France, Hezbollah, Iran, ecc.
we might join in as special interest and we could fit since everybody that counts is there!

At the risk of regarding a humour site as a credible information source, Cracked had an article today about the IS magazines. At the end was one interesting bit -

But the most surprising thing I learned about ISIS during my reading is that the primary target of their hatred is not the United States. It's not France or Russia, either. The one "enemy" they devote more time to ranting against than anyone else is the "apostate Muslim." The vast majority of people ISIS kills are Muslims. They use one slur in particular -- "Safawi" -- to refer to Shiite Muslims. That word is a play on the name of the Safavid dynasty, which ruled Persia in the 15-17th centuries and which you almost certainly haven't heard of even though soldiers for the most notoriously evil organization in the world use it as a curse every day.

That's probably a bit slanted, but it's certainly true the IS slaughter a lot more Muslims than non-Muslims, and want all of Islam to come over to their side. By doing what they're doing, they know that the West is going to react in time honoured fashion - which, in this case, means that people trying to get the fuck away from the IS are going to be considered just as dangerous as the IS by the nations they're trying to get to. It's the perfect wedge. 

These terrorists know what they're doing, and they're very good at it right now.

First I'd heard of this "Management Of Savagery" text.

ah, i have this in pdf if you're interested

They want to die but I'm sure they don't want to be tortured... By women. Just saying, so as to save a little face. (thinking about it they don't like to be KILLED by women either, they don't go to paradise if that happens. I think it's the Turkish who have corps (?) of women that they send to fight Isis (?) and they just run away from them.)

I've noticed a bit of excitement over Anonymous announcing they're going after the IS's communications, or whatever it is they're going to do. I'm not so sanguine, but I know little about Anonymous. Apparently some of them were involved in the "Arab Spring"? In any case, I'm not sure how much of a dent they can put into the IS.
