I am attacked frequently by Mohammedans on various blogs in which I post as being racist and an Islamophobe. I am not the former but I consider myself a proud member of the latter.
The Greek root of the “phobe” part of Islamophobe literally implies the fear of Islam. Mohammedans interpret it as the hatred of practicing Mohammedans. I think in neither fear nor hatred of Mohammedanism.
I relate Mohammedanism as an ideology like Communism is an ideology (though the Mohammedan ideology is theocratic and the Communist ideology is atheistic).
Both ideology are repressive and indoctrinate hatred toward their enemies even to the point of lying about their histories and the facts of their enemies’ history.
Concepts of individualism; Freedom of thought, choice and speech as well as Liberty are anathema in both Mohammedan and Communist ideologies. In a society or nation dominated by one or the other of these ideologies one can count on persecution, arrest or even death depending on how Freedom and Liberty was practiced by an individual and perceived by the State. Yes, even in Mohammedanism it is the State.
Anyway I say all that to lead into an essay by Azam Kamguian. If Mohammedans and Leftists think I am harsh in exposing the nature of Mohammedanism, this gal has me beat by a mile. One point of interest: I speak from the study of reading books of anti-Jihadist and anti-Islamists; Kamguian speaks from experience.

The Silent Holocaust: Why Westerners must react to ban Islam before it causes more bloodshed and misery

What you're going to read or watch here is not the entire truth. In no way can the atrocities of Islam be fully described with the words of any known language. It even goes beyond the description in the koran itself, which is the original blueprint of these atrocities. Reading this, or watching the videos of persecuted and terrorized Copts in their own countries, is like watching Muslims perform beheadings for the sake of their bloodthirsty allah in the comfort of your living room, while the reality is indescribable torture for the victims going through it. We have enough words to describe the animals world, but we're short on words for the followers of the biggest mass murderer in the history of mankind.
Like every satanic cult, Islam needs human sacrifices. If Western populations don't react to stop it and crush it, the map of the Western countries will be flooded by the color red, not of roses, but of the bloodshed of the thirsty demon of Islam.

Anyone who wants to understand Islam must change his way of thinking. Islam is not a religion for the mind, soul and heart of a man, but it presents an all-encompassing set of orders, theocentric society where all facets of life - child rearing, family life, economics, and politics - are focused on Allah. There is no separation between throne and altar, between politics and religion. In fact, mosques are the starting point for demonstrations and political upheaval. Friday sermons are not confined to the fostering of faith and spiritual life, but contain strong appeals to stir up the people for political conflicts, cursing Christians and Jews, calling for the death of whole western countries in the name of Allah. The ultimate aim is nothing less than the establishment of Allah's kingdom on our earth.
What I am going to talk about is Islam; contemporary Islam in Iran. I will describe some episodes of Islamic carnage and pass you briefly through what happened and is still happening in Iran. I will talk about those who have nurtured Islamic movements or have tried to justify Islam. I will conclude by emphasizing the urgency of achieving the victory of humanity over Islam and the practical steps that should be taken to achieve this.
The final decades of the 20th century witnessed another Holocaust - an Islamic one, in which millions have been and continue to be shot, decapitated and stoned to death; in which people have been slaughtered and displaced by Islamic states, political Islamic movements and Islamic terrorists in Iran, the Sudan, Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Central Asia, and now in America. The robe, turban and Koran continue to victimize people. Any voice of dissent or freedom has been silenced on the spot. The oppression maintained by Islamic movements primarily takes the form of opposition to the freedom of women, by crushing women's civil liberties, by curtailing freedom of expression in the cultural and personal domains, by enforcing brutal laws and traditions, and by the mass killing of people from young children to the elderly.
Essentially, Islam is a set of beliefs and rules that militates against human prosperity, happiness, welfare, freedom, equality and knowledge. Islam and a full human life are contradictory concepts, opposed to each other. Islam under any kind of interpretation is and always has been a strong force against secularism, modernism, egalitarianism and women's rights. Political Islam, however, is a political movement that has come to the fore front against secular and progressive movements for liberation, and against cultural and intellectual advances. Violence and disregard for human dignity are inherent in the manifestos of political Islamic groups.
The very statement that an Islamic republic exists somewhere means that brutal violence exists within it.
After political Islam took power in Iran, creating an Islamic Republic, this movement came out of the margins in other Middle Eastern countries. It was in Iran that political Islam first organized itself into a government and thus turned into a considerable force in the region. In Iran, under an Islamic state, violence has had another dimension: one that is based on Islam. The very statement that an Islamic Republic exists somewhere means that brutal violence exists in it. The mere fact that people are forced to abide by laws based on something some god is believed to have said somewhere, or that some prophet said, itself represents a form of violence. If anyone protests against such laws, they are subject to punishment and suppression. Islam means the worst and the most ferocious kind of violence. Iran is the most transparent picture of what Islam is capable of. I will try to pass you briefly through this period of violence, atrocities, and misogyny - a bloodbath committed by Islam in power.
In Iran, I lived through thousands of days when Islam shed blood. Since 1979, a hundred thousand men, women and children have been executed in the name of Allah. I have lived through days when I, along with thousands of men and women throughout the country, looked for the names of our lovers, husbands, wives, friends, daughters, sons, colleagues and students in newspapers which daily announced the names of the executed. Days when the soldiers of Allah attacked bookstores and publishing houses and burned books. Days of armed attacks on universities, killing students all over the country. Weeks and months of bloody attacks on workers' strikes and demonstrations. Years of assassination of opponents inside and outside Iran. Years of suppression and brutal murder of atheists, freethinkers, socialists, trade union leaders and activists, Marxists, Bahais, women who resisted the misery of the hijab and the rule of sexual apartheid, and many others who were none of these, who were arrested in the streets and then executed simply because of their innocent non-Islamic appearance. And to the hundred thousand murdered in Iran must be added the millions who have died in Algeria, the Sudan, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere. A silent holocaust about which the civilized world does nothing.
I, along with thousands of political prisoners, was tortured by order of the representative of Allah and Sharia; tortured, while the verses of the Koran about nonbelievers were played in the torture chambers. The voice reading the Koran was mixed with our cries of pain from lashes and other brutal forms of torture. They raped women political prisoners for the sake of Allah and in expectation of his reward. They prayed before raping them. Thousands were shot to death by execution squads while Koranic verses were recited. Prisoners were awakened every day at dawn to the sound of gunshots aimed at their friends and cell mates. From the numbers of shots you could work out how many had been murdered that day. The killing machine did not stop for a minute. The fathers and mothers, husbands and wives who received the bloody clothes of their loved ones had to pay for the bullets. They created an Islamic Auschwitz. Many of the best, the most passionate and progressive people were massacred. The dimensions of the horror are beyond imagining.
From that time, love, happiness, smiling, any free human interaction was forbidden. Islam took over completely. This is what happened to my generation. But it was not limited only to my generation, It had bloody consequences for our parents generation and for the next generation. During those years, millions of children were brainwashed and manipulated. The crimes committed by the Islamic Republic of Iran and political Islam in the region are comparable to the crimes committed by Fascism in the 1930s and early 1940s, and to the genocide in Rwanda and Indonesia.
Yet these are events that humanity around the world has been largely unaware of. A Holocaust which, if humanity knows of its dimensions and intensity, would certainly cause it to weep. With the downfall of such regimes, the world will be given an opportunity to know the truth - victims will speak out, prisons and torture chambers will be exposed, torturers will make heart-wrenching confessions, Islamic prosecutors and judges will reveal what they did to their victims behind prison walls. Then people all over the world will see what a despicable, and horribly unimaginable (for whoever not knowing Islam) phenomenon Islam is. They will finally find out the truth about those governments that backed the Islamic movements and the Western mainstream (accomplice) media that deliberately blocked people's access to the truth.
The aftermath of September 11 exposed a fraction of the reality of what is happening to people living under the constant terror of Islam. It exposed something of the tragedy that befell women under the Taliban. It revealed, to some extent, the true substance of Islam. But it became plain to see that this carnage is Islamic. It became evident that it is all about Islam.
When I came to the West in the beginning of the 1990s, I was faced by the fact that the majority of intellectuals, the mainstream media, the academic world, and many feminists, in the name of respecting other cultures and religions, were trying to justify Islam by dividing it into fundamentalist and moderate, progressive and reactionary, Medina's and Mecca's, folksy and non-folksy, poisonous and edible. For people like me, first-hand victims of the Islamic Holocaust, it was suffocating to listen to and to have to refute endless tales to justify this terror, atrocity and misogyny. Parallel to this Islamic carnage, western apologists for Islam try to divert people's righteous loathing for Islam and for the political Islamic movement, to limit it to a hatred of fundamentalism. They attempt to reduce the anti-Islamic struggle to anti-fundamentalism. They keep telling us that what we loathe is fundamentalism, not the 'true', the 'real' Islam. They pledge "reform in Islam" and the application of a "positive interpretation of the Koran" to women's rights by linguistic twisting. They raise the idea of Islamic feminism and try to attach a human face to the monstrous face of Islam against women.
The rights of freedom of expression, equality of men and women, and a secular state apply to people in the 'Third World' too. Isn't it shameful that we have to argue about it?
The truth should be spoken. We shouldn't let western apologists for Islam play with people's lives, and mislead their own populations any more. We should say clearly and loudly that it is all about Islam. What we have seen is the reality of Islam in power. The fact is that Western liberal and left-wing intellectuals feel guilty about past colonial history and are apologetic to the Third World. They consider the "Third World" a given entity, where people are keen to suffer under the rotten rules of Islam, where people are happy to be deprived of the achievements of human civilization in the 21st century. According to them, women desire sexual apartheid, girls love to be segregated from boys, and people hate civil rights and individual freedom. In their view, people are the allies of Islamic movements and Islamic governments. This is indeed a distorted image of the realities. This is an inverted colonialism. In this picture, people who are fighting for civil rights, secularism and against political Islam do not exist. This self-centered mentality in which everything should revolve around the guilt of Western pseudo-intellectuals is appalling. The rights of freedom of expression, equality of men and women, and a secular state apply to people in the "Third World" too. Isn't it shameful that we have to argue about it?
Contrary to this view, there is a fight going on - and it has been going on for over 28 years - between progressive movements in the Middle East and in the West on the one side, and political Islam on the other. The records of the daily struggle of people and the non-Islamic opposition in Islam-ridden countries, and the news of the daily resistance of the youth and women in Iran, demonstrate the reality of peoples' demands in the "Third World". Since 1979, Iranian society has changed dramatically and deeply. The movement for secularism and atheism, for modern ideas and culture, for individual freedom, for women's liberation and civil liberties has been widespread and deep. Disgust for Islam and the backward culture of those in power is immense.
Secularism must be defended actively and resolutely in Islam - ridden countries. Universal human and civil rights must be the standard. Secularism is not only realizable, but also, after the experiences of Iran, Afghanistan, the Sudan, Egypt and Algeria, is an urgent and pressing need and demand of the people of the region. The demand for secularism must push for absolute and complete separation of religion from the State; complete separation of religion from education; freedom of religion and atheism; laws free of religious content; and for religion to be declared the private affair of individuals. A conscious struggle must be conducted against the power of organised religion. Islam should be officially registered as a private enterprise, subject to regulations and laws.
To realize these ideals and demands, we need a massive joint force. Despite the struggles of the non-Islamic opposition in the Middle East and in the West in the past decades, all that has been visible has been occasional reports of the barbarity of Islam and the reactions of Western governments, media and "intellectual" apologists deceiver for Islam. But, there is a third force, a sleeping giant who can turn the situation around. If this giant awakes, this era could see the beginning of positive changes and the realization of ideals that were almost abandoned during the final decades of the 20th century. Humanity must rise up and defend itself against the barbarity of Islam.
The ranks of civilised humanity form a massive force that has, so far, sadly been silenced. It can come to the fore. For the future of humanity, it must come to the fore. If there is to be a future, it is in the formation of an active, progressive and freedom-loving policy at the forefront of the ranks of the people. Otherwise, the stage is left open to Islam terrorism and barbarism. I finish this with the hope that in the coming years of the 21st century, we will witness the victory of humanity, of humanism, over Islam. All freedom-lovers and secularist forces around the world should come together in a joint effort to combat Islam; to promote secularism, egalitarianism and freedom, in the societies that Islam oppresses.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, these videos are worth more than a PhD. in Islamic studies.
The world is holding its breath for Geert Wilders' koran movie, but these videos are no less effective in showing the applications, and the live realities resulting from the koran.
These are videos that the Egyptian government don't want the world to see. It shows the organized and official systematic persecution, terrorizing, and economic strangulation of the Copts in Egypt, and how government security officers even threaten to rape the young daughters of mothers that converted to Christianity.
It is also worth mentioning that most of these Copts, reduced to being garbage collectors, were forced to flee their lands and businesses in upper Egypt under the threat of being killed by radical Muslims acting with the complicity of the security apparatus, to steal Christians' properties as lawful booty, same as their prophet did with the Christians and the Jews of Arabia.
It is also important to remind the world that Copts were the people that had to pay the jeziah in order to stay as Christians. Which means that all Copts, including the ones you'll see in the videos were by definition, financially well off to be able to pay, until they reached the life you will now be witness of. Now you can see what it means in the koran 33:27, "And He made you heirs of their lands, their houses, and their goods, and of a land which ye had not frequented (before). And Allah has power over all things." This is one verse you won't need anyone to explain to you once you see the videos.
In Egypt Copts are being robbed point blank, their tax money is used to finance Al Azhar university, where no Christian is admitted but Muslims from all over the world are admitted for free, to build and finance hundreds of thousands of mosques (while Christians are not free to build one church with their own money, and in many places they have to conduct the mass on the street), to finance a dozen or more Islamic TV channels, payroll for hundreds of thousands of sheiks so they can insult and curse through mosque loudspeakers and on the air, at every prayer, those same Christians paying their salaries. These are just four items out of a list that is too long to mention here.
As for Western countries, the first thing a Muslim is briefed about by his co-religionists as soon he arrives (I know this first hand from every ex-Muslim), is how to plunder the social benefits. Just compare the percentage of Muslims in your Western country with their share of the social benefits, and you'll understand that you're being robbed too of your tax dollar. Or, as Muslims call it, they're making you pay the jeziah.

About Azam Kamguian
If there is such a thing as Moderate Mohammedanism it is in only practiced in Western style democratic nations.
At the ccpga Yahoo Group there is a huge amount of citations of non-Islamist (ergo the opposite being moderate) Mohammedans experiencing judgments from the rule of law in various Middle Eastern nations.
The post begins with a Dhimmi Watch post about a Christian woman being thrown in the slammer in Egypt for stating her religion as Christianity on her Marriage Certificate.
Evidently her father converted from Christianity to Mohammedanism briefly then converted back to Christianity. That is illegal according to the law of the land in Egypt. The father’s brief flirtation with Mohammedanism made all his children (whether they wanted to or not) legally Mohammedans. Thus the Egyptian Christian according to the law of the land was a Mohammedan. She broke the law trying to marry as a Christian.
The ccpga Post goes on with comments about the Dhimmi Watch post some of them telling accounts of other enforcement of the rule of law in Egypt.
Now if this is justice in a moderate Mohammedan society imagine the ruthlessness of Islamism.
Now imagine that Islamism is the predominant force in America and the West seeking Mohammedan converts and supporting the biggest and the newest Mosques in America and the West.
Now I am a huge believer in America’s First Amendment right that implies Freedom of Religion or philosophical conscience; however if this is the kind of rule of law moderate Mohammedans expect to be practiced in America, I am for some religious profiling to make sure Islamist teaching is NOT a right and a test to make sure a moderate Mohammedan is moderate by American Constitutional rule of law.
Freedom of Speech and the Press is a Liberty and Right enjoyed in America. It so enjoyed that the good, the bad and the ugly are allowed to be publish as long as there is no libelous material in the publication. Thus pressure from the Left has stroked Free Speech and Free Press to allow malevolent publications as porn and racism (KKK stuff for example). Even here a gray line is drawn in the sand. Explicit wicked porn is publishable, yet kiddie porn is illegal.
I personally do not know the where the line is drawn on racism or hate, but I know you can find a copy of Hitler’s Mein Kampf in your Public Library.
Thus Liberty enables both the good and the bad within the confines of the rule of law.
Now let us look at a nation like Egypt. It is a State that is highly influenced by Mohammedanism. At first glance Egypt’s legal system is based “…on English common law, Islamic law and Napoleonic codes.” (Egypt Information and Facts)
I suspect Islamic law (more than likely sharia law) is the dominant legal reference even thought well over 20% of Egypt’s population are Coptic Christians. Egypt is a dictatorship in which one man calls the shots. There is no Liberty or freedom in Egypt. You can go to jail for criticizing the government or Mohammedanism.
Egypt has an International Annual Book Fair toward the end of January running to early February. Apparently all kinds of fiction and non-fiction publications appear at the Book Fair. Undoubtedly there are no books that are critical of the Egyptian regime or Mohammedanism. Yet there are bounteous selections of gross anti-Semitic literature that is available.
Now think of this combination. Egypt has diplomatic relations via treaty with Israel. Egypt and Israel are not kissing cousins but diplomatic channels exist between the one of the most ominous former enemies of Israel. Egypt and America are allegedly allied in the fight against the War on Terror rhetorically (not militarily).
It is understandable that Egypt is on the side of Arabs calling them selves Palestinians to have a sovereign State formed. So realize this, these Arabs of so-called Palestine are schooled in Jewish hatred form the time the education process begins.
And yet Egypt is in a treaty with Israel and is working with the USA against Islamofascist terrorism. Incidentally Egypt is the location and home of one the largest transnational Islamist group on the planet. That group is known in English as the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood along with Wahhabi aligned Islamists like al-Qaeda wish to see an International Caliphate ruling the globe.
The Egyptian dictatorship (ranging from Nasser to the present Mubarak) has off and on had a hostile relationship. The Egyptian government has regarded the Muslim Brotherhood as a Theo-political rival to the regime. The Egyptian government has off and on persecuted the Muslim Brotherhood and allowed their presence depending on end goal situations for the government. To the Egyptian government’s chagrin the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood is quite popular among the Mohammedan Egyptian masses.
The thing that makes Egypt a wary neighbor is the allowance of the forms of extreme anti-Semitism to be published. As I said Egypt is not a land of Liberty and Freedom. The government could squelch the public publishing of anti-Semitic books and publications that continue to incite Arab hatred toward Israel.
Take pause and wonder: what would Egypt do if Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria and Iran joined in an attack on Israel?
One of my friends of the Yahoo 360 Blogs – Eagle – has dedicated his blog to fight bigotry. Eagle understands the heinous incidents were the provocative acts of homicidal suicide that murdered thousands of Americans; however Eagle’s aim to defeat bigotry wishes to make it clear that Islamist terrorists were the perpetrators of a transnational act of war. In Eagle’s view all of Islam should not be held accountable for the acts of radical Islam.
Six years ago Eagle’s aim may have been a reasonable assumption about Islam; however over the years I have become to believe that the nature of Islam is derived from what that religion considers holy Scriptures: Quran, Hadith, Sunna, Sharia Law and so on. These are not nice non-violent documents except toward a believer in Islam itself. The documents call for the torment and/or execution of non-Muslims (fakir) depending on rather or not the non-Muslim submits to a dhimmi status. The dhimmi status is a state of existence of second class citizenship which must be continuously humiliated by the considered superior Islam religion. Thus if a dhimmi is not submissive to the status forced upon him/her, the person could face punishment up too execution. Executions are not pretty in Islamic cultures. This is why the Internet is littered with Islamists beheading (or sometimes stoning) Americans and Sharia Law breakers.
In the West and especially America before 9/11, I fully believe a majority of Muslims could be assessed as moderate non-violent people; however the longevity of America’s War on Terror (i.e. radical Islamists) has began to transform the Western Moderate Muslim to admire Islamism. I believe this admiration results from the very Scriptures Muslims considered hallowed.
In the Middle East itself the Muslim world has become increasingly radicalized because of the teaching of Jewish hatred in Mosques and Madrassas since the end of World War Two. I do not consider it an error to say that a majority of the Intelligencia class of Muslims actively or clandestinely support Islamist ideology which is a typical Theo-political vision to dominate the globe with Islam.
(I have to point out as a side bar that I detest the appellation of the word “Islam” for the followers of Mohammed and Mohammed’s example. I usually refer to the followers of Mohammed as Mohammedans because “Islam” is a word that references “Submission.” I am never going to submit to Mohammedans. I utilize the word “Islam” and “Muslim” her mostly for the benefit of my friend Eagle. Do not insult your friends.)
Bigotry is an awful place to be. Bigotry unleashed in modern society has the ability to nearly enslave its victims (somewhat like the dhimmis of Islam). I realize I walk a fine line between bigotry and self-preservation. I pray I never go over the edge. You need to realize that much of the religious literature that enters American Mosques arrive from Saudi Arabia, the home of the most cruel Islamic school of thought – Wahhabism. Usama bin Laden (UBL) is a Wahhabi. The Muslim Brotherhood which dominates Islamic religion in Egypt is much like the Wahhabists of Saudi Arabia in that they the same goals (yet I believe the two are competitors in the Middle East). A majority of Muslim-American organizations that claim to be civil rights groups protecting the rights of Muslim-Americans receive money and literature from three main groups: Saudi Wahhabis, The Muslim Brotherhood (SA FrontPageMag.com)and Iranian Shia client terrorist organization Hezbollah. There are transnational terrorists other than the three above mentioned that also export radical ideology to America; however they are akin or similar to the above three.
Evidently Eagle was the recipient of a chain e-mail (I am just guessing). For in Eagle’s quest to eliminate bigotry he focuses on a valiant Muslim by the name of Ali Salem.
It is a worthy cause to fight and defeat bigotry. Also Ali Salem is a legitimate Muslim taking a stand against Islamism. However I disagree that Ali Salem represents the mindset of Islam toward the West, particularly in the Middle East. Ali Salem was persecuted for his writings and his publisher [Director of Ibn Khaldoun Center for Development Studies in Cairo] was sent to prison for seven years in Egypt. Ali Salem was detained with Ibn Khaldoun but was released ca. 2000. Ali Salem was booted out of the Egyptian Writer's Union; however he managed to get the Egyptian Courts to overturn the Writer's Union ejection. After Ali Salem's court victory and reinstatement, he quit to prove his point about Islamic bigotry. The last information - 2002 - I managed to discover by Googling that Salem is being treated by the Egyptian intelligencia as a pariah (meforum link above and http://www.library.cornell.edu/colldev/mideast/alsalem.htm).
I am afraid the longer the War on Terrorism exists the more Muslims become at least supportive of Islamist goals while a growing minority switch from the Moderate Islam to radical Islamism. Remember the small percentage of global Islamists seems low; however it translates into tens of millions of radicals out of the hundreds of millions of Muslims. That is a chunk of people that desire the death and destruction of Americans and Jews.
Thus personally, I am known as an Islamophobe. To undo this Islamophobia, trust must be earned not assumed.
There is no doubt that the Middle East is becoming more and more complex in the interaction of the nations and their agendas in the region.
Who is aligned with whom? Does Israel have any friendly Arab nations that will fight on its side? Since the Palestinian-Arab people are apparently divided between Hamas and the Palestine Authority, will the PA become an ally of Israel to squash Hamastan? Will Israel attack Syria? Will Syria attack Israel? Will Hezbollah attack Israel at the bequest of Iran? Will Shi’ite Hezbollah team up with Sunni Hamas (add a smidgeon of the Syrian military into the mix) in a two front assault on Israel with Iran waiting in the background to decide whether or not to become personally involved in such a fracas? Will Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Israel team up to confront Iranian aspirations to be the hegemon of the Middle East? Will America abandon the Middle East (and its Western Democratic ally Israel) to allow the nations to duke it out and enter a weakened battle weary area to indulge on perceived (depending who runs the White House) National Interests? OR will the dang Middle Eastern erupt into global war because of outside National Interests such as Russia, China, Japan, India, America and the EU? AND if a global war erupts who will side with whom?
Yeah man this is what I am talking about: Wars and Rumors of Wars. I did not even mention transnational Islamist multiple terrorist organizations which are more numerous than just al Qaeda.
Here is what got me thinking on this geopolitical lava dome ever growing until some kind of pressurized explosion occurs: Guy Bechor writing for the YnetNews.com Opinion section speculates that all these juicy arms deals to Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Israel is a message that America will eventually pull out of the Middle Eastern region to allow those nations to deal with the nuke WMD aspirations of hegemonic hungry Iran.
Now think about that speculation! Saudi Arabia (Wahhabi Sunnis), Egypt (Muslim Brotherhood Sunnis) and Israel (secular and religious Jewish Zionists) as a Middle East team against radical Shi’ites managed by Iran (including a remarkable smattering Sunnis). Could the Saudi’s and Egypt cooperate militarily with Israel for a common goal of neutralizing an Iran ramping up to become armed with nuclear WMD?
The only thing I see is chaos!
