The fiefdoms of Qatar-UAE-KSA-Jordan-Egypt are the chief cause of terror spreading across the globe. London, or rather the British and the Americans are complicit in creating chaos which bred more terror in the Middle East in the 21th century. The signs of the 90s under president Bill Clinton were misread: the first attack on the Twin Towers in New York in 1993, Mogadishu, East Africa embassy attacks and the 2000 suicide attack on the USS Cole in the Gulf of Aden.
For president Trump to ridicule Europe and build closer ties with Saudi Arabia and Israel will only confirm the Arabs in their abuse of human rights and extreme form of Islam. Wealth is a reward from Allah just as the American evangelists preach the prosperity gospel. No, president Trump did not get on well with Pope Franics on his Rome visit. On the other hand, Brexit champion Theres May just could sink in the political abyss after grabbing on to president Trump in a desperate sign of loneliness on the global market. The election on June 8 may be the greatest political upset ever.
After the era of Al Qaeda, the terror from extreme form of Islam was rooted in the US/UK invasion of Iraq in 2004. The military blitz on Baghdad was televised across the globe by American news channel CNN. A more prolific tool for breeding future terrorists could not have been created by a Hollywood filmmaker. The Pentagon and the White House added fuel to the fire by disregard for the Geneva Conventions, basic treatment of prisoners, rendition, approval of torture and the ultimate exposure of Abu Ghraib horror.
The devastation of Fallujah in December 2004 showed how a world leading power would get away with a multiple of My Lai massacres in a matter of e few months. The infamous stupidity by a U.S. president with his triumphant “Mission Accomplished” will forever be part of the history of Mesopotamia. The tragic role of the U.S. military will be forever stained in this ugly war of wrongful revenge at the whim of the MIC in Washington DC. That an idiot like Tony Blair sought his place in British history did come true, but more of a war criminal. Both Bush and Blair live on with impunity for their deeds of horror.
The western world had their portion of blow-back from home-bred terror led by AQ and today more often from Internet inspired caliphate teachings of the Islamic State which shares the Koran similar to the misinterpretations by Christians and Jews of the writings in the old testament as God/Jahweh’s doctrine handed from the heavens to mankind.

Iran’s Parliament (Majlis) and the mausoleum of the late founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini in the capital Tehran have come under terrorist attack.
According to reports, a dozen people have been killed in Wednesday’s attacks while another 42 have been injured and admitted to 3 hospitals to receive treatment.
The Daesh Takfiri terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
The attack on the parliament happened when at least four gunmen, disguised as women, entered the visitors’ hall of the building, opening fire on the security guards there. The assault has forced a lockdown on the legislature.
Trump effect rocking the Middle East | Ynet News |
Six senior members of Hamas’ military wing, who operated and funded dozens of terror cells in the West Bank, were expelled from the Qatari capital of Doha several weeks ago. We were all kept in the dark about this affair because none of the parties involved–the Egyptians, the Saudis, the Qataris, the Americans and the Israelis–were interested in creating noises, on the eve of US President Donald Trump’s arrival in the Middle East, that would overcloud the harmony of the Islamic heads of state gathering in Saudi Arabia.

When its people were kicked out of Doha following American orders, Hamas had yet to understand the intensity of the change created by Trump in the Middle East. Even before the US president set foot in Saudi Arabia, different countries in the region had already received “missions” from him. They were required to pay “earnest money” to be able to join the Sunni bloc against Iran and the Islamic State. When, in Saudi Arabia, Trump spoke about Hamas being a terror organization like Hezbollah, ISIS and al-Qaeda, he meant that all the countries in the Sunni Arab domain that support Hamas–particularly Qatar–should wash their hands off it.
The Saudis and the Egyptians claim that the Qataris are playing a dirty game, and they are right. Qatar’s leader, who sits on a mountain of money, is conducting a policy which is a combination of a survival war and megalomania. The Qataris want to have it all ways in the region, including nurturing the Muslim Brotherhood and funding terror organizations. It is a small emirate with 300,000 citizens, a million and a half foreign workers, half of its territory is an American military base, and it is led by a ruler whose ambition is to be the leading element in the Middle East.
It has been reported that Qatar served as an efficient communication mechanism between Israel and Hamas at times of crises. That didn’t stop the country, at the same time, from funding Hamas’ military wing and sabotaging ceasefire attempts during Operation Protective Edge. The Qatari’s multi-faced policy–which includes hugging Israel, hugging the Iranians, supporting the Muslim Brotherhood and abusing the Egyptian government through the Al-Jazeera channel and undermining its position–has come to an end. The Saudis and the Egyptians have informed the Qataris: You must take a side and stop undermining us. Saudi Arabia, which received the mandate from the US–together with Egypt–to lead a Sunni bloc against the Shiite-Iranian-ISIS threat, has decided to tame the Qataris.
Hamas is watching the events impatiently. It is seeing its only political support in the Arab Sunni world being pulled from under its feet. Under pressure, the Qataris will be willing to sell the Palestinian organization.
This strategic crisis has caught Hamas in the middle of a deep civil crisis which the Gaza Strip has never experienced before: An electricity and water shortage, collapsing health systems, extreme poverty.

US officials scramble to limit Donald Trump’s diplomatic damage over Qatar tweets | The Guardian |
The US state and defence departments have scrambled to limit the diplomatic damage done by Donald Trump’s morning tweets lambasting Qatar, which is the hub for US military air operations across the Middle East.
Trump started the day by taking sides in a bitter row among the Gulf monarchies, in which Saudi Arabia and its allies have sought to isolate Qatar.
The US president visited the region last month and claimed to have helped bring unity to the Islamic world in the battle against extremism.
While in Riyadh, Trump met regional leaders, including the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. He said the US and Qatar had been “friends for a long time” and that the two leaders discussed the Qatari purchase of “lots of beautiful military equipment.”
Just more than two weeks later, however, after Riyadh cut ties with Qatar, Trump tweeted support for the move, claiming that when it came to funding radical ideology, “leaders point to Qatar“.
US relations with Qatar have long been complicated by Doha’s promotion of a conservative and austere form of Sunni Islam, Wahhabism, from which many extremist groups claim to draw inspiration, and its backing of extremist groups elsewhere in the region.
However, the same issues have clouded the relationship with Saudi Arabia.
Furthermore, the al-Udeid base outside Doha is the centre for US air operations over Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Afghanistan. It will be critical for the assault on the Isis stronghold Raqqa, which was launched on Tuesday.
