    Any answer to that question would be considered a conspiracy.

    There are two types of muslem, Shia and Sunni.

    This is how it breaks out on the map:
    http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger2/6670/1514/1600/sunni_shia_map.jpg

    You’ll notice that despite being a minority generally the Shia are a majority in Iraq.
    The northern part of Iraq is Kurdish and that’s an independent state now in all but name, it has regional autonomy even under Saddam. So the rest of Iraq is just Shia and Sunni and the former are the majority, but the latter was Saddams people, they were Sunni.
    Al Qaeda are sunni (though they hated Saddam) and so are ISIS. They get their arms and money from radical rich princes in Saudi Arabia, the royal family there is enormous, thousands of members and they are all loaded, they funnel money to them, as do wealthy Sunnis from elsewhere and sometimes arms dealers with no ideology.

    Sunnis ruled Iraq, through Saddam, for years. The US millitary brass told George Bush that they needed to invade with at least half a million troops to secure the country afterwards, esp since they were gonna disband the Iraqi armed forces and police. Bush thought they could do it on the cheap so only sent in around 200 000. Then Bushs envoy Paul Bremer the colonial administrator of Iraq disbanded their security services and chaos ensued where the borders were like a sieve and radical militia men from all over the place started to pour in.
    Now they all want THEIR group to be dominant , they are trying to turn Iraq into what South Vietnam became and overthrow it replacing it with a new radical Sunni state. ISIS are crazier than AlQadea by far, the latter even said they want nothing to do with them.

    They get funded by the US Government.

    Its nit a conspiracy any more. Do a little research.

    They are basically the latest in television mainstream media scaremongering terrorist organisations that Western Governments want to use in order to draft in new security measures.

    Basically Al Qaeda on steroids. Watch out for new up and coming dates particularly that contain triplicated 7 numbers. EG 7th September (Septem Latin 7) 2+0+1+7 = 7 or 777. all other false flags had hints of 777. Even the Twin Towers…where 343 firemen died…343=7x7x7

    Poe’s law indeed.

    I don’t watch TMZ for financial market news, you shouldn’t watch infowars for political news. I feel so sorry for you people. You genuinely believe whatever nonsense your conspiracy cult leaders tell you. Confirmation bias is a powerful thing.

    Some studies suggest it’s a lack of self esteem that drives you to believing these whacko theories. I’d be morto. Of course, I’m just a paid CIA, NSA, NEOCON, ILLUMINATI shill right? Whatever helps you sleep at night.

    Dave Davis I would be more concerned to what cult these world leaders are into…

    Everywhere they have set foot has left nothing but death, destruction and misery. We will soon witness this same cult invading Syria… turning it into another hell hole.. You can be damn sure once NATO get in there there won’t be much left of the place…

    Avina Laaf .. Yes July 17 had its fair share of triplicated 7′s in MH17 which has now fallen flat on its face as a FAILED False Flag.. people are wising up to all this nonsense from War mongering Western Governments particularly the United States..

    I am sure yourself and Declan Noonan know all about the Numbers..

    Boeing 777 Built 17 inauguration flight 17 years to the date bogus “crashed”on 17/07 2+0+1+4 = 777

    If you read my last post September is the 7th month going by the Roman Calendar…
    There are two “sevens” hidden in the date being the 250th date of the year 2+5+0 = 7
    and also 115 days remaining to the end 1+1+5 = 7..

    As I mentioned before on 9/11 you tripped over the number of 11′s in the date.. This is how these psychopaths operate.. they believe in the power of numbers.. 777 being perfection.

    selling Oil is the big one, looting banks, seizing weapons from the Army, entire bases of them in fact. Extorting businesses in the area, taxing people, selling food, the area is arid but irrigation makes it a large producer of Grain, one of the largest in the middle east.

    It is all quite obvious where they get their money from but it is does not fit in with the leftist view that these simple people would be all happy and lovely but for the machinations of Western powers.

    A really good article in the Guardian today. Sums up the western approach to Islamic extremism. They are full of rhetoric bout the war on terror yet they are best friends with the biggest backers of extremism in the world. Hypocrites!

    Let me get my tin foil hat on for a minute…right….I really think this is bang on the money, but to add to it, or perhaps just argue the point that, they are not hypocritical, just extremely disingenuous about this with their own populations, the argument I make is that after the Iraqi WMD fallacy the game was basically up for their dirty little wars, they needed to carry on though with a few more countries needing toppled (see: General Wesley Clark, 7 nations in 5 years), but how could they find the means to justify these wars to their public, they couldn’t so there had to be a change in tact again, enter proxy armies, crippling sanctions, civil unrest among other things (see: Seymour Hersh, the redirection). There was nothing spontaneous about the Arab Spring, it was planned years in advance, there’s some very clever scriptwriters in Washington I believe, Zbrigniew Brzezinski (see Soviet-Afghan war, pictured with OBL, a CIA asset at the time, who knows maybe he remained so the rest of his life…). Ok, time to take the hat off.

    Ryan, while what you say is true, it does tend to leave a distorted view of Sunnis in general. Most Sunnis would have nothing in common with ISIS.
