Since its emergence over the last years, the terror group Daesh got used to committing criminal acts that do not seem to have a purpose other than distorting the mental image of ‘Islam’.
Burning people to death, selling women in the market as sex slaves, are all acts not tolerated in Islamic Law. The organization committed the gravest follies then disseminated them wide online.
The latest follies of the organization was recently reported by major Western newspapers. This time, the group put abducted Yazidi women on Facebook ‘for sale’. The Washington Post reported that Daesh members put a picture of a woman captioned ‘for sale for $8000.’ The newspaper reported that Facebook accounts of organization members flourished with women trafficking.
The criminal organization has committed so many brutal crimes that the sale of Yazidi women goes almost unnoticed, yet this brutality and barbarism benefit the enemies of Islam.
Despite international efforts to combat it, Daesh is still expanding. Major Powers, like Russia, claimed they hit the organism hard, but yesterday, Daesh was reportedly making progress on some fronts in Syria, and waging attacks on multiple axes in the north. That can only confirm the serious intentions in the fight against this cancerous virus are not so serious.
Time goes by and events prove that the presence of the organizations that do business in the name of Islam is key to international and regional powers as they were used to open the door to interference in many countries in the region, then compromise security and stability, eventually displacing millions of people and refugees, achieving quickly what decades of colonial wars could not achieve.
Islam is the central argument fallaciously used by the Daesh to justify its practices, discrediting this great religion in the eyes of the world and putting the majority of Muslims in the position of defense. Such devilish a plan can only be put together by intelligence agencies hostile to specifically Sunni Islam.
I have no doubt about the involvement of intelligence services of several countries in the creation and spread of the Daesh virus regionally, notably the intelligence services of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. Some argue that Iran is fighting Daesh in Iraq and Syria. Would Iran really put an end to the project it contributed in? The answer here is very simple; Iran would not be able to send to Iraq legions of Shiite militias and Revolutionary Guard commanders if Daesh was not there. There was no possibility for an Iran presence in Syria if the existential threat of Daesh was not extending and seizing vast areas of the Syrian territory.
in other words, Daesh is a strategic cover of broad impact not only for Iran, but also for major countries that offered logistics facilitations before turning a blind eye to its geographical expansion for reasons concerning the interests, expansionist ambitions and regional re-partition plans one century after the Sykes-Picot agreement.
Many experts talk and discuss the tactics of the fourth and fifth generation wars, but no one paid attention to the mechanisms of these wars, and no one projects theory on the ground. Daesh is par excellence a fourth-generation tool successful in disintegrating states and controlling regimes without direct wars, isn’t it?
Uncertainty about the survival and expansion of Daesh raises considering doubts on what is happening in Syria, Libya and other places while the major countries are watching. The beginnings of the international campaign to fight the group has prompted some observers then to say that the days of Daesh are counted.
It is not sensible to use a conspiracy theory, which the West thinks is prevalent in the Arab World, to interpret all that is going around us. Certain matters do not originate from external factors, but are the product of the failures on domestic policies and mismanagement. Notwithstanding, there are parallel events and developments that cannot be interpreted in isolation from such theory, which is already an integral part of the interactions and dynamics of international relations.
Daesh is nothing but a Trojan horse for the regional and international interventions to reorganize interests and influence in the Middle East; therefore, countering the threat of this organization and other terrorist groups should be an urgent priority for Arab countries.
A worse scenario would be the disintegration of this organization into fragments spreading this brutal ideology and into vast regions of the Arab and Muslim world as fighters return from Syria, with minds more aggressive than those of the previous terrorist generations. It is necessary to implement serious strategies to combat this organization through divesting financial resources, prevent the escape of elements from their countries of origin in case the organization loses control of current areas of influence; otherwise, we will remain under a chronic threat of Daesh.
