JeA, Before you accuse others of being “poisoned”, have you made sure that you are not suffering from similar poison?
Palis and ARabs created fasad aka terror against Ottomans too. and as a result Ottoman army was in constant hot pursuit of P’s and A’s terrorists just like Pak army these days is in hot pursuit of TTP, Qaida and other muj.
Thanks to P’s and A’s, the whole trans-Jordan and Saudi areas didn’t have strong defense that could have been offered by the Ottoman empire.
Lacking that strong defense the area was ripe for pickin’ by anyone with good enough army.
So blame the P’s and A’s for destroying their own Muslim armies, and then as a result getting pummeled by the new arrivals.
In this world, either you develop good defenses using your own “modern armies”, or allow some other army to come in.
But do whatever you do, never ever rely on pure Jihadism, and terror. Because it destroys you first before damaging anyone else.
There are a lot of parallels between terrorist in FATA and Palis. And see how both of them are getting whooped.
Anyone who wants to avoid whooping, should learn a lesson and DO NOT DO what Palis have been doing for the last 60+ years and do not do what Muj are doing in FATA and Pak.
