The undeclared and concealed love affair , the arcane admiration and a resolute source of pride of the Sunni Musslem populations in general , and their youths more particularly , toward I.S.I.S and its self declared Islamic State , are a persistent amazing astonishment .
From all walks of life , from different countries and continents , educated , westernized , city dwellers or rural villagers , all share some or most of these sentiments , with these Islamic fighters , and their blind Islamic faith and goals .
In all honesty , I could not contemplate or seriously consider , the possibility of any significant or meaningful Sunni , Arab or non Arab , army or group or even a militia to fight ISIS fanatics , and their Islamic state , effectively and sustainably , let alone the notion of eradicating them totally from both Syria and Iraq .
Let me further clarify , there is an undeclared compatibility and sharing of common dreams , of Islamic Sunni revival , and the reinstatement of a lost powerful Caliphate , something no Arab or Musslem country , kingdom or regime could achieve , to the dismay of Musslem populations all over . Only naïve ISIS fighters , and their astonishing successes , managed to partly revive those dreams in many if not most .
We can call it "The glory of Islam", Sunni Islam of course , as the Shiite counterpart , since the creation of their clerical autocracy in Iran , only fueled more hate , fear and jealousy .
In conclusion , I couldn't deny the fact , that there is a suppressed feeling in almost every , Sunni Musslem , that decries this war of the world against ISIS and their state . They do not deny their atrocities , barbaric behaviors and treatments of others , on the contrary it's condemned openly , accompanied often with excuses , as in the necessities of the battle and the need to scare their enemies .
But hey , Israel's fanaticism and brutality , as well as the Christian history are full of such atrocities and injustices , all forgiven and overlooked , so why only condemn Sunnis or their dream fighters .
It's a factual assessment of the situation on the ground , even if suppressed , the world should be aware of these facts before dragging us all into an impossible war . My usual many thanks for your time .
