To put this simple, the United States, and west, needed an enemy to fuel the military-industrial complex. An industry, which used the Cold War to justify itself. From 1945 to 1991, “communism”, and the USSR, kept the propaganda machine roaring. The Cold War ended, and with it, an industry was threatened. Of course, as we have seen, the seeds the US, and its allies planted, in the Middle East, finally took root. Years, of supporting dictatorships, in the Middle East, to get access to oil, finally started restiveness among the Middle East masses. Most of these masses follow Islam as their faith.

From the end of WW I to 9/11, million of people were suppressed by dictatorships created by the European powers. The Middle East was carved up, in total disregard to ethnic and tribal groups. Iraq is a perfect example of this. Western meddling like the US and Britain overthrowing the elected government of Iran, in 1952, to install the Shah,is one example. Another example is the US support to put Saddam Hussein in power, in the late 1960s. And then there is Israel, which became the ultimate thorn in the region.

Out of all of this grew hatred, by these peoples, of the west. Fueling this hatred, are nations like Saudi Arabia, which preached a radical form of Islam. An Islam that is not one of peace, but an Islam of jihad, so to eliminate Shia Islam. They exported a faith which says Christians and Jews are enemies of Islam (something that is goes against what is in the Holy Qur’an). Meanwhile, the oil starved west, ignored what Saudi Arabia was doing; so to get oil.

So, you have a military-industrial complex needing an enemy; you have western nations needing oil, you have very angry, repressed people in the Middle East and you have a nation exporting a religion bent on making Islam the one and only true faith of the world. The result: Gulf War, Bosnia War, Somali War, 9/11, Iraq War, Afghanistan War, and now the war against ISIS.

The west now sees over 1 billion people as jihadits. They now see anyone who walks into a mosque as a person bent on world destruction. And that every Iman is preaching; destroy or be destroyed.

In the end, profits are being made. The west now has an enemy. They have a continuous war on “terrorism”. And, a very small population, of Muslims, who help the west’s propaganda machine. Unfortunately, Saudi Arabia lost control of its desire to eliminate Shia Islam, and resulted in groups like ISIS, turning on them.

So, like the Cold War, now the west’s propaganda machine sees “Islam” as “communism”. That instead of “socialism could destroy our way of life”; it is now “ISIS could destroy our way of life”. George Orwell, author of “1984”, fictionalized the concept of continuous war, with different enemies. Never could he dream that it finally came to pass.
