Is ISIL really Sunni?

Kevin Barrett

The Western media describes ISIL – the ultra-extremist terrorists destabilizing Iraq and Syria – as “Sunni militants.” Headlines read: “Sunni Islamist Militants Seize Mosul.” “Sunni militants capture northern Iraqi town.” “Iraq Army Tries to Roll Back Sunni Militants’ Advance.” The corporate media casts the fighting in Iraq as a Sunni vs. Shia conflict.

Kevin Barrett

“Why would the US let its ally (some would say puppet) Saudi Arabia back ISIL, a terrorist group so extreme that it horrifies even al-Qaeda? Why has the US tacitly allowed the Saudis to wreak havoc in Syria and Iraq by arming terrorists whose viciousness makes Osama bin Laden look small by comparison? And why is the US standing by as the Saddam loyalists and ultra-terrorists overrun Iraq, threatening to destroy it as a coherent, unified state?” Full article: http://presstv.com/detail/2014/06/13/366719/iraq-chaos-highlights-us-idio cy/

Kevin Barrett
