Since the emergence of the modern Iraqi state from and on the ruins of the Ottoman Empire, the Iraqi Christians started to have a ray of hope and experience some religious freedom and active civil participation in public life, based on the new principles of citizenship, nationalism and secularism adopted by the new government in building new institutions for the country. All that made the Iraqi Christians more interactive and the first among others to absorb the changes, being significantly instrumental in rolling the wheel of development.
The President of Turkey Erdogan said yesterday that the Syrian-Kurdish city of Kobani is going to drop thousands of people have fled their homes.
The prospect that the city could fall into the hands ISIS has increased the pressure on Turkey for the purpose of participation in the international coalition together to fight against the jihadists.
A picture that has been seen all over the world: a black flag waving on the top of a building in Kobani (also known as Ayn al-Arab), a Kurdish town in northern Syria, just 15 kilometres from the Turkish border.
Beware not to talk about a forthcoming invasion toward Europe though. It must be considered that Turkey is neither Syria nor Iraq. Unlike the other two states: Turkey benefits from an essential political and institutional stability that guarantees solidity to the whole country, Turkish armed forces are both better prepared and equipped and, finally, Turkey is NATO Member State and would receive necessary support from the Alliance in case of spillover.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during his last speech to the UN, described the Islamic state, Iran and the militant group Hamas which controls the Gaza Strip as a single team, adding that the Nazis believed in a master race to which all other races would have to submit the same way the Islamists believe that their faith should be imposed on all other faiths.
The Isis has a very diverse staff consists of former military personnel and specialists coming from extreme Islamist Middle East Asia and Europe, as well as their acceded to the Caliphate, even non-experts who recruited through the known channels, pseudo-religious, after a brief training (three to six months depending on your needs) are placed in the ranks of the rebels; make an exact estimate of the number of members is currently impossible, however, we can assume a number that fluctuates between 28,000 and 40,000 men.
The cat in the Islamic religion has always played a very important role being the favorite animal of the prophet Muhammad. The propaganda of the Caliphate then chose the cat to land in the net looking for new members who propose a motion more human and just creating a profile on twitter "Islamic State of the cat." This would seem an almost laughable attempt to flesh out the network to a massive campaign of rapprochement of new fighters and yet it works.
For the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, Deif died last night with his wife and young daughter under the rubble of his house in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood in Gaza, bombed by 'Air Force of the Star of David. Hamas denies the death of the leader and feeds the legend of the number one enemy of Israel.
From the strip have been launched so far 175 rockets (IDF source) for recommenced against air raids of 'idf which resulted in the ranks of more than 20 Palestinians dead. The attacks have focused on building in the district of Sheikh Radwan hoping to bring down the Hamas resistance after several weeks of fighting.
United States president Barak Obama authorised airstrike in Iraq against Islamic State (IS) Sunni jihadist militias. There are no doubts that US intervention could make a difference, but the real question is: by how much?
