Now there are a couple of things to note. First it turned into a Israel bashing. Israel is at fault for Islamic terrorism. Secondly, the normal day for this annual event is November 29th. The organizers seemed to have a reason to advance the day before US Thanksgiving and nearer to the attacks in Paris, Mali and Sinai.
With 370 dead and over 300 injured, the organizers had to get the spin message to the cause....the Israel vs Palestine issue....out to the media and world.
But it does not add up. Why kill in Paris, if your enemy is Israeli? Why down a Russian airliner, if your enemy is Israeli? Why kill in Mali, if your enemy is Israel?
Moderate Muslims are starting to step forward and acknowledge that inside Islam there is a major problem. King Abdullah of Jordan....just went public with that message following the Paris attacks. I have listened to several moderate Muslim in the US echoing the message. They are recognizing the Islam has radical Jhadists inside that simply kill to be killing. Killing innocent people for the politics and for the formation of a Caliphate State.
The sooner that the Muslim countries of the world recognize the problem. The sooner a solution will be found. But as long as they spin the cause of radical Islam....the longer the Jhadist will think that some kind of political solution can be achieved to establish the Caliphate.
I wish I could say that the US was ready to fully engage ISIL and alQeada in world. But I cannot. President Obama containment's policies have failed. The question now is what is next? The US is in a Election cycle. Personally, I think President Obama is just riding this last year out.
Yes he met with Putin and Hollende to discuss ISIS and the situation. But as they say talk is cheap. Military action is costly. I will say that most in the US realize (this according to polling) the need to engage ISIS with stronger military operations. The US citizen recognizes the joint threat...to Europe, to moderate Muslims, to America...that alQeda and ISIL are.
