    Default ISIS Isn’t the Real Enemy. The “Game of Thrones” Medieval Mindset That Birthed It Is.

    Very interesting perspective on ISIS and the shaping of the Muslim mind.

    The Six “Fathers” of ISIS

    “ISIS is the offspring of more than one father, and the product of more than one longstanding and widespread sickness.”
    1. “ISIS is first the child of despotism in the most heinous form that has plagued the region.”
    2. “ISIS is second the progeny of the American invasion of Iraq in 2003, both the way in which it was initially conducted and the catastrophic mismanagement that followed.”
    3. “ISIS is third the son of Iranian aggressive regional policies that have worsened in recent years.”
    4. “ISIS is fourth the child of some of the Salafist networks in the Gulf (in Saudi Arabia and other states).”
    5. “ISIS is fifth the offspring of a profound crisis, deeply rooted in the thinking of some Islamist groups seeking to escape from their terrible failure to confront the challenges of the present toward a delusional model ostensibly taken from the seventh century, believing that they have found within its imaginary folds the answer to all contemporary or future questions.” <- Read this one again.
    6. “ISIS is sixth the progeny of violence or of an environment that has been subjected to striking brutality.”

    Bad day 4 IRGC / MT @sheeraf IDF strike bigger than originally thought. Now confirmed several Iranian commanders killed alongside Mughniyeh.

    Defense Min. Yaalon won't comment on strike but adds cryptically in radio interview "#Hezbollah should explain what it's doing in #Syria"

    Senior Israeli military official says if Hezbollah responds to todays strikes with rockets, there will be a "very heavy response."
