Mali: 'Hundreds' Of British Troops Could Assist France In Fight Against Islamists
The people of this country
should wake up to the reality of what is taking place in Mali. It has
nothing to do with terrorism, rebels, insurgents, Islamist extremist,
jihadists or any of the other emotive descriptions used by
politicians and repeated parrot fashion by the media and television
“pundits”. It has nothing to do, except indirectly, with the
abundance of mineral resources in the country, which are currently
only exploited to a fraction of their real worth.
The situation in Mali
today is about war. Not the war of nations as was the case in 1914
and 1939, or even the wars of the 1950's. This war in Mali, is at the
same time new and almost as old as history. It is a war of religion.
In exactly the same way as the Crusades of the 9th, 10th, and 11th
centuries were wars of religion and waged by the West, predominately
Europe.
Today it is France, soon to be joined by the United Kingdom
and the European Union, with the United States lurking in the
background providing “logistical support”. For months, if not
years, the west has been ramping up the atmosphere in respect of anti
Islam feelings and now it seems is determined to embark on a 21st
Century Crusade with Mali as a springboard. Having to a greater or
lesser extent, lost control of power bases, and dubious allies in the
region, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and soon it seems Syria, the west is
skating on very thin ice in trying to regain by force what it has
lost by duplicity. Today it is “only” 200 or so British ground
troops (despite Cameron's assurance that we would only ever provide
air transports) as “trainers”. This is of course similar to the
initial use of American ground forces in Vietnam, who would only act
as “advisers” to the then Saigon government.
More and more British,
French, European, and soon no doubt American troops will be deployed
in Mali as the conflict spreads across borders. The excuse will be
the “fight against terror” or “spreading peace and democracy”.
The reality is very different. There are countries and leaders in the
world who for years, have been itching to pitch their military might
against the forces of Islam. History tells us that wars of religion
are vicious and bloody events and can often last for years, decades
or even centuries. People must understand the reality of the current
situation rather than the lies and deceit that governments and media
are so desperate to feed us.
Message to all “western
leaders”. In your crusades against Islam and your cynical
exploitations of the countries and peoples of the area, do not count
on me as either your ally or your supporter.
