Why The West And Russia May Not Win The War Against Islamists

There are a number of reasons the west and Russia may not win the war against Islamists. First, the poor relationship between the west and Russia clouds their judgement, and so they are both choosing warring Islamists on one side or the other over cooperation with each other. Second, far too many people and countries hate Jews and Israel to such a degree that they will willingly back the Islamists, even though it is against their own survival. The world witnessed a similar phenomenon with the rise of Hitler and the Nazis, in which people chose death and destruction just to see Jews perish. Third, political correctness mindlessly demands complete acceptance of the incredible brutality and political incorrectness of the Islamists. Islamists want the world, and the world is too afraid or timid to stand up to their aggression. Fourth, people want to hide from the truth and not face the fact that Islam can be a religion of peace or it can be a religion of war and intolerance. The basis for both can be found in the Quran and in Islam itself. The need for sugar coating reality and self deception only strengthens the Islamists. Islamists are not an aberration. Their interpretation of Islam, which is found in the Quran, is the same as what Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and some other oil rich nations aggressively promote. The west and some Muslims keep declaring that Islamic violence is not Islam. No one gains from ignoring reality. As already stated, there is in the Quran verses that support peace and tolerance, and other verses that support war and intolerance. The Muslims that support peace and tolerance have been losing footing against the oil rich Islamic nations that promote violence and intolerance. Peace, tolerance and diversity in Islam will not prevail by pretending the opposite does not also exist in Islam. The challenge is to support the former, but not by denying or ignoring the existence of the latter. Fifth, the west and Russia do not want a religious war. Yet the Islamists are already giving them a religious war, whether they like it or not. Instead of ignoring the war that the Islamists are waging, Russia has instead chosen to align itself with Shia Islamists, thereby choosing a side in the sectarian war between Sunni and Shia. This is a bad mistake. Islamists are fanatical, intolerant, imperialistic and bloodthirsty. Russia and the west should not be supporting any of them.
