Just my opinion - Syria, Islam and the West

 
Readers 40 years of age or younger will, during the course of their  lifetime, have to deal with a world where 1 in 3 people are Muslim (now it is 1  in 5). In 40 years there will be 10 Billion people on the planet, 3 1/2 Billion  Muslims.

This is generally bad news for non-Muslims, particularly in  light of the radical elements within that religion who hold the view that all  non-Muslims are infidels and should be either converted, killed or enslaved.
 
Keep in mind that Islam is not the only religion to espouse the idea that  they are the 'true' religion and that non-believers will never reach heaven.  What other religions hold this view? Try the Catholic Church and the Jewish  faith. So Islam isn't alone, at least in that respect.

What then should we 'do' about Islam?

In the short term I suggest we not further involve ourselves in Islamic  countries. We have not done a very good job so far, why would we believe that we  will do better with further meddling?

I note that there are humanitarians who are agitating for the US to get  involved in Syria and help to depose the current regime.  True 70,000+ have been  killed so far.  So from a humanitarian perspective it would seem that some  action should be taken.

Examine this a bit further. An entirely hostile  country, one that was a sworn enemy of Israel and had no relations with the US,  is now in the process of reducing itself to rubble. Where is the downside to  this? The country is self destructing and will not in coming years be capable of  posing a threat to Israel, Lebanon or us.
 
We should simply stay out of it, there  is no upside to any meddling, both sides will turn on us, any weapons we provide  will probably end up used against the West by the radical Islamic elements who  have poured into Syria.

Put bluntly, while they are killing each other they are not killing us. A  harsh statement but how is it wrong?

Possibly the only things that we (the West) have going for us in the coming  40 years is that Islam is not one great monolith. It is fractured and may well  come apart without any necessity for conflict with the West.

Consider that:
1)  The Persians and Arabs have  been great rivals for well over a thousand years, they just don't like each  other,

2)  There is a deep divide in Islam between the radicals and the moderates,  the radicals for the moment are in the ascendency but are far outnumbered by the  moderate Muslims who see little being gained by their barbaric brethren,

3)  Since the founding of their religion the Shia and Suni branches of  Islam have been at war with each other, this isn't going to change, each side  views the other as being blasphemers and apostates of their religion.

The short term recommendation is to stay out of social engineering in  Islamic countries, there is no 'good side' to be found.

Long term we may find Islam so divided and fractured that they pose no  threat to Western interests.

 Q)   What should be of concern to us?

 A)   China
 
 
 
This site is one of about 200 sites I have put up and it reflects just my own opinion, probably of interest to no one but myself. 
 
If you feel the driving need to contact me you should go take a long nap and when you wake up hopefully you will have forgotten all about it, but if not then you can reach me at:  consumer2013@aol.com.
 
My political views are stuck in the 1960's with Barry Goldwater and they have not changed over the years.  I was, am and always will be an original 'conservative'. 
 
Note that is not the conservative ideals of today.  The term was hijacked about 10-15 years ago by the nut cases of the right wing of the Republican party.  I am still an original conservative, but it seems that the goal posts were moved on me. Some of today's 'conservatives' are just as nutty as the wack jobs of the Democratic Left, like Michael Moore and Mr. Soros.  
 
What else do I find to bitch and moan about?
A local newspaper who litters 26 counties
A local Pawn Shop that had to relocate
A former attorney of mine, now in jail
A rip off insurance company
A rip off utility company
A rip off apt management firm
One of many apt complexes run by Concord Mgmt
 
A political comment on the President
A local restaurant
A poor retail company
Condo owners who have questionable connections
 
A condo I had a unit at for 5 yrs
