<\/a>Caliphate<\/p><\/div>by Tom Brennan<\/p>\n
The Caliphate or Islamic State of Iraq and Syria has advanced across the Middle East. Capturing large areas of territory and arms from Iraq and seizing areas in Syria’s civil war stricken landmass, the brutal 7th<\/sup> century Jihadists wreak terror and devastation on every place they go. Using internet technology and web-savvy technicians they place videos of their horrific executions of hostages and prisoners. The United States self-proclaimed \u201ccoalition\u201d managed piecemeal attacks and bombed pickup trucks and expressed insincere condolences when American hostages were beheaded. The President then hurried to get in a round of golf.<\/strong><\/p>\n When a captured Jordanian pilot was executed in a most inhuman and cruel way, videoed for his grieving family and countrymen to see, Jordan’s King Abdullah cut off the courtesy visit to the White House.He\u00a0 declared vengeance and thenthe world saw that he meant it. The King, a former pilot in the Royal Jordanian Air Force, ordered heavy air strikes against Caliphate targets and led the attack himself. No insincere, teleprompter speeches, no golf game, the Jihadists felt his wrath and that of Jordan.<\/p>\n The other day 21 Egyptian Christians were marched in ceremonial manner in a cruel ritual along\u00a0 the ocean front in Libya and beheaded by Caliphate brutes. The video was broadcast worldwide to continue the war of intimidation against all who would oppose them. Many Egyptian Christians have gone to Libya to work. The \u201cArab Spring\u201d revolutions aided and abetted by a\u00a0 malevolent US State Department had overturned a Government in Libya that at least was cooperative. President al-Sisi of Egypt a former General in the Army immediately issued a statement that Egypt would defend and avenge the lives of its citizens, Christians and all others. The strong words were backed up by strong actions and heavy air attacks.<\/p>\n
