Calm or not, what you experience in daily life makes no difference to what other things that happen in the same country, regular people in the UAE don't experience any of what I'm speaking of since they don't meet the radical people which is most likely the same case with you being there.
Social problems, illnesses within a given commuinty can't remain stealth forever. If what you're saying is true, then Iraq wouldn't have been put under the scope of international organizations or its authority or its people.
The fact of the matter is that the UAE, Jordan and KSA don't have militants operating in a state-like position within the state itself, which is the opposite to what is taking place in Iraq.
Thus, the volume of violence within Iraq compared to the so-called radicals you invented in your un-defendable claim in the UAE.
Somehow a certain large group of mosques + their religious cretin scholars brainwash many into the terrorist ideology which will find themselves in Syria & Iraq nowadays, previous in Chechnya + Afghanistan, then they get locked up when they come back to their homeland since they'd burn Saudi Arabia as well.
Let just not compare Apples to Oranges. During the USSR invasion of Afghanistan, thousands upon thousands of Non-Afghans travelled all the way to fight the Russians, and after the latter's withdrawal, the vast majority of them came back.
The situation in Chechnya is also completely different, given the fact that by the time of the Foundation of the Federation of Russia, The Republic of Chechnya was a federal republic within the Federation of Russia, which means that Chechnya was in a whole different state compared to the miserable situation in Iraq.
hen they get locked up when they come back to their homeland since they'd burn Saudi Arabia as well.
Burn yourself
Al-Qaida proclaimed tens and tens of attacks against KSA, targeting civilian and governmental sites.
What we did to them was fighting them to our fullest, rather than submitting to their demands, or compromising with them, or taking side with one militants against another.
The difference between your Iraq and the regime of it and the rest of the sovereign, competent, law-abiding, responsible, and caring states across the globe is to be identified as the fallowing:-
1 - The rule of law in your country is an utter messy compared to the rest of the world. Your politicians are picky, on one hand they declare a war against one militant, and remain indifferent to another. Why can't they dissolve, and declare a war against the rest of the tens upon tens of militant groups as much as they did with Al-Qaida?
2 - The aggressive presence of sectarianism among the ruling class in your country is the main reason behind dragging your country into a constant circle of violence. In other word, it is a self-fulling prophecy.
3 - The court system in your country lacks the means in which it can implement fairness, and deliver justice.
4 - Your politicians can't even agree on a single legislation without arguing about it for a year. This political mayhem is what is causing the refusal of other sovereign states to cooperate with your country i.e. don't you ever think even for a second that your country's war against militants can only be solved by your PM's arrival to the US to beg them to sell sophisticated weapons, you still lack the will to carry it out.
Now, As you can see, Karbala has just declared its bankruptcy due to corruption, Iraq Kurdistan is turning into an oasis, while the rest of your country is in a miserable shape due to the idiocy of your politicians.
You can't win a war against terrorists by purchasing billions and billions of fancy guns, but there are additional means your country MUST pursue.
For now, I don't think the situation in Iraq will change.
It's actually their society influenced by the religious figures which deformed the brains of certain individuals and sent them on the terror path, and even though they are one of the largest into this the ideology spreads to vulnerable/uneducated people abroad as well. That's how Zarqawi got into it ( uneducated ).
Actually, Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi rose to power at a time where Al-Qaida was heavily influenced by his fellow countryman Abdullah Azam. By that time, OBL was the second man in command, while Azam aka the Godfather of Al-Qaida was the symbol and the icon to all radical Muslims.
I don't think Al-Qaida radicalizes uneducated people. If so, then the Dr. Major Nidal Hasan wouldn't have been easily radicalized by the American-born Yemeni Head of Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, Anwar Al-Awalaki.
Zarqawi wasn't uneducated either. His motivations were equal to Azam as both of these two happen to be Palestinians originally.
Whether this is offensive to people or not doesn't matter, it's the root of the problem.
Nothing of an offense at all! You're the one who's been bleeding. You're just an e-warrior who knows nothing about anthropology, let alone delivering an analysis on a society that is way superior to your dear society.
