    Saudi Arabia and Qatar Ratcheting Up Sectarian and Ethnic Tensions In Iraq

    Really? I pictured you as a cave man with goats :undecided: I know what you mean. As an Israeli I used to tell people in Europe that Israelis know Arabs the best, and that at the moment some of them still need a dictator (obviously one that doesn't kill his own people is preferable) but...

    Which Arabic military would be best for me?

    I will have a word with some people and see if I can get you into a Druze unit in Israel as a tracker.

    What can Hezbollah do that it couldn't do in 2006?

    First of all, the 'palestinian' thread starter seems rather eager/keen for war. A trait that's sadly common amongst his people. Secondly, this topic should be in Iranian section - not Arab. There's nothing Arab about Hezbollah. They are an Iranian militia who work for Tehran. Thirdly, it...

    Saudi Arabia and Qatar Ratcheting Up Sectarian and Ethnic Tensions In Iraq

    It's interesting. How on earth are Iranians going to get rid of this regime?. I mean, as terrible as the Iraq war was - Saddam would have been in power for another 20 years, then his psychopath sons and then their sons. It would have been decades of tyranny. We see it in Syria, father...

    Saudi Arabia and Qatar Ratcheting Up Sectarian and Ethnic Tensions In Iraq

    It's not so much "western influence" as empires. You can't look through today's eyes at events from a long time ago. That was the way the world was. Empires came and went. They ruled over lands. They divided lands and drew new countries out on the back of an envelope. Israel, rather then...

    Saudi Arabia and Qatar Ratcheting Up Sectarian and Ethnic Tensions In Iraq

    Come on Hussein, are you saying all of Iran's 'activities' are down to one elderly man? such an infrastructure for certain 'acts' is not orchestrated by one man. He's a figurehead for it. The thing about Islam is the belief that this life is just a vehicle to the next life - the paradise. I...

    Saudi Arabia and Qatar Ratcheting Up Sectarian and Ethnic Tensions In Iraq

    I'm in general agreement with you, but just saying they "created Al Qaeda" makes it sound slightly different to what the truth is. What you have to understand - and this is difficult for people to comprehend, but the Americans were so utterly paranoid about Communism. They truly believed it...

    Hmmm not quite true though. Iran's regional shenanigans are not down to just the one man. He may make the big decisions, but we know the revolutionary guards get up to mischief on their own accord and other layers in Iran. Again, the article you linked seemed to suggest that Saudi was more...

    Saudi Arabia and Qatar Ratcheting Up Sectarian and Ethnic Tensions In Iraq

    Hussein seems like a decent chap. I don't agree with him on this topic, but he seems well-balanced and sees the good & the bad in his country, which is important. As for the US creating Al Qaeda. I agree with Hussein on this. The USA stupidly (in hindsight) because of their paranoia over...

    Saudi Arabia and Qatar Ratcheting Up Sectarian and Ethnic Tensions In Iraq

    To be fair, that's sort of backing what al-Hasani is saying. So we could blame Saudi for perhaps not doing enough to stop funds going to terrorist group - but nothing in that article suggested that the Saudi government is directly involved. Stopping funds is difficult. The Americans had...

    Saudi Arabia and Qatar Ratcheting Up Sectarian and Ethnic Tensions In Iraq

    USA is still very much involved in Iraq. It reflects badly on America when the world sees Iraq as a mess, because they get blamed. I don't see any motive for Saudi to cause trouble in Iraq. Now, there may be Saudi nationals involved in organising and funding bombs in Iraq - but that's...

    Saudi Arabia and Qatar Ratcheting Up Sectarian and Ethnic Tensions In Iraq

    Of course when the sh*t hit the fan in Iraq the Sunni/Shia states piled in their militia. But we are talking about NOW. What motive has the Saudi government got in destabilising Iraq at the expense of ruining relations with USA/West?. Do you think the Americans wouldn't notice Saudi...

    Saudi Arabia and Qatar Ratcheting Up Sectarian and Ethnic Tensions In Iraq

    I understand some Saudi nationals or Wahabi/Salafi movements inspired by Saudi doctrines are operating in Iraq, but I don't see what the Saud family gain from this? surely the Saudi government/regime isn't orchestrating these daily attacks which is basically going against the USA interests...

    Bible a 'copy' of Quran, Boston bombing suspect told neighbour

    Everyone knows Christians and Muslims copied the Jews. The Jews have always been trend setters.

    Israeli False-Flaggers Flown in for Boston Shoot-Out?

    An Israeli doctor worked on the victims and many were taken to the Beth Israel Hospital for treatment. It's a pity that when Israelis are doing good like this, some lunatics still insist they're behind every bomb, every natural disaster and every conflict. I remember a Syrian minister...

    IRAN: consequences of boycott

    My friend was in Iran recently and said people have to buy their medication from abroad and their family sends them. I don't understand though - because as far as I know medication is not part of sanctions. Maybe the Iranian regime is spending its money on nuclear bombs instead of medicine.

    #OpIsrael: Anonymous Cyber Strike on Israel: News & Updates

    Although this is completely ridiculous and the actual OpIsrael site was hacked by Israeli hackers - what makes this whole thing very shameful, is that it was timed for Holocaust memorial day. That shows the mentality of those behind this.
