I found myself realizing this during the night. Assad is killing or causing to disperse throughout the world all Sunnis. He came first.
Then in response to Assad came ISIL. They literally kill everyone else. Since they Are extremist Sunni they kill: Shias like Assad (their primary target) as well as Christians, Kurds, Yazidis and all ethnic groups that are not extremist Sunnis.
So, in regard to the Middle East, at least, there are no people in the middle East that are not killed now by either Assad or ISIL. This is something for everyone to think about.
This is the basis of likely 100 or more years of sectarian warfare in the making right here. Because revenge is the byword of all Shias and Sunnis. Revenge might take 1000 years but Shias and Sunnis never forget any slight. This is just a part of Middle Eastern Culture and always has been.
For example, Osama Bin Laden's reason for 9-11 was something that ended the Ottoman Caliphate I think possibly during World War I almost 1 century before 9-11.
And the ISIL creed partly has to do with re-establishing another Caliphate that they call the Islamic State presently.
The likely result is now and going to be large areas of the Middle East with everyone dead but Warlords feuding. This is one reason why Obama is bombing ISIL because this thing is going to go on interminably whether it is ISIL or Assad or other Warlord leaders for 100 to 1000 years or more at this point.
I think we should just expect at this point for oil from various parts of the Middle East to be cut off for periods of time like we are seeing now from ISIL's actions in Libya.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
