    My latest article, in ⁦, on the end of sectarianism in the Middle East:⁩ “Four decades after its dramatic rise, sectarian violence is receding throughout the Middle East.”

    Not just that. He said it was at that moment when ISIS began to be defeated, when Trump allied with the Muslim world against ISIS.

    My head hurts. Bannon suggests that Trump’s trip to Saudi Arabia proves Trump is not an Islamaphobe. Adds that Trump visited Saudi because they’re leading an enlightenment in Islam. Dear God! Scary to think that ppl believe Saudi is at the vanguard of enlightenment in Islam. 🤯

    Good debate so far, & Steve Bannon.

    Bannon going off on ‘the elite’ on Wall Street as the problem and nemesis of the United States. This dude worked for Goldman Sachs! He gets laughed at when says Trump saved US from those elites

    اصبح “المحور الوطني” السني من أهم الأحزاب السياسية الصاعدة بعد انتخابات 2018 والتي تحتفظ بمصادر متنوعة من القوة السياسية والاقتصادية في الداخل العراقي، ولديها قدرات إعلامية متفاوتة على التأثير في الرأي العام السني ودَفْعِه نحو التعايش أو المزيد من التنافر.

    Pro-Assad outlets are cheering the murder of the tribal chief by ISIS, because they say he was responsible for the killing of a brigadier after the rebels expelled the regime from Raqqa in 2013. He allegedly promised him safety but failed to protect him, per tribal ethos:

    MbS will soon release the women activists (as he should), people will forget the Khashoggi murder, and things will go back to normal again.

    It's maddening that someone like Ali Shihabi can peddle for years in the most disgusting, groveling apologism for *whatever* crimes his paymasters commit - up until just 48 hours ago - and then he can write a piece and then be described as "thoughtful". Is the world upside down?

    This is actually good. I also always noticed that people who speak in soundbites tend to speak endlessly. “Do boring speakers really talk for longer?”

    So sad this is happening regularly now across Iraq & Syria, and elsewhere, as a key part of ISIS strategy after its territorial defeat.

    Anyone familiar with ISIS & tribes will recognize the name “Afadlah”, as one of the tribes in Raqqa that had significant numbers of its members joining ISIS in 2013-2014. ISIS now reports that it killed one of the tribe’s chiefs *inside* Raqqa. (cc )

    Exactly. MB channels in Turkey still use vile language to talk about the Copts, like referring to Egyptian army as "the crusader army" & claiming Egypt's deep state is controlled by the Copts. Much like blaming George Soros & globalists in the U.S., and worse.

    And no effort should be exerted to deny the sectarian discourse that *remains* from certain extremist Islamist opponents. Critique/opposition of the authorities has various genuine legitimate points: blaming Copts isn't one of them.

    These words come days after a summit between Russia, Turkey, France and Germany on Syria. Which followed a smaller circle of Russia, Turkey and Iran. The Astana process.
