Social Inequality and ISIS

[Trausti]

A Chechen militant has complained that Saudi jihadis are favouring their own friends and family for bombing missions.
Kamil Abu Sultan ad-Daghestani said fighters were becoming increasingly angry after being left languishing on the waiting list for months.

Amir [Leader] Akhmed al-Shishani told me about a young lad who went to Iraq for a suicide mission and he went there because in Sham [Syria] there is a veeeeery long queue [of several thousand people],' he wrote.
He said the fighter eventually gave up after three months and returned to Syria

Well, that actually makes sense. You don't want everybody blowing themselves up in the first week and then have a long lull while more recruiting happens. You want the increased stress levels amongst your enemy to stay high all the time by having a constant stream of suicide bombers coming at them continuously over an extended period.

Isn't patience some kind of virtue in Islam? If you don't think that an eternity in Paradise with a gaggle of beautiful virgins is worth waiting a few months, then perhaps you're not as crazy as you think you are and you're maybe better off trying to lead a productive and meaningful life where you contribute to society instead of working to destroy it.

The waiting list for bombing missions needs to be strictly maintained. Otherwise you could have problems like this:

Damn nepotism

It sounds more like they don't have enough bomb making materials to outfit all the Kamikazes. That must be because they are not doing well economically because otherwise they could have FULL EMPLOYMENT. Oh well. Somebody always has to do without. At least that seems the conservative position. What never seems sought, no matter how hard the going, is some sort of cooling of the heat of passions that drive our world conflicts. That remains a mystery to me...why anybody would accept that.

As I've said repeatedly the ability to actually carry out terrorism is limited economically.

Obama actually said we are not losing. If you look to the left of the article ISIS has just routed Iraqi forces in a key city Iraqi city of Ramadi which the Americans said could not happen. The whole Middle Eastern wars for regime change in Libya, Syria is a failure with millions of dead. The regime change attempts have brought about a worse situation than before with millions dead.

Just curious, when did the Americans say that?

My wording close but not the same

Here is one reference
http://www.wnd.com/2015/05/isis-capture-of-ramadi-shouldnt-have-happened/


McInerney, who flew combat missions in Vietnam and eventually rose to the third highest position in the Air Force, said the loss of Ramadi is even more infuriating because he believes it could have easily been avoided.

“It should not have happened. We were well aware of what was going on months in advance,” he said. “We should have used our air power appropriately to stop them from doing it. I’m just amazed that we haven’t done it. We’ve averaged six or seven sorties a day. We ought to be doing hundreds a day to defeat them.”
