Who is behind DAESH?
As soon as someone mentions DAESH, many questions appear with no apparent answer. Even those fighting DAESH seem not to wonder about the answers simply because nobody really knows who or what DAESH militants fight for.
When DAESH emerged in Syria and Iraq, I boldly argued that this terrorist organization must have been the product of a number of the most effective intelligence organizations in the world. In response to that allegation, some reminded me of the sociological background of DAESH, which emerged in post-war Iraq. After the United States occupied Iraq, they did not prevent al-Qaida terrorist attacks against the Shiites. In return, as the de facto ruler of Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein, Iran stayed silent in the face of attacks by the government and the Shiite militia against the Sunni population, maybe avenging the 10-year-long Iraq-Iran war. Apparently, the U.S. and Iran, which were to decide the fate of Iraq, left it in chaos. Dozens of rebellious terrorist organizations would naturally emerge from the oppressed and excluded Sunni population; yet, DAESH seems to differ widely from all its predecessors. Almost in the blink of an eye, DAESH acquired seemingly limitless sources of arms and money together with a ready-made program, which would enrage Muslims around the world.
From the very beginning, the U.S. declared that the struggle against DAESH would last 20 years, which seemed a normal period of time for Obama's administration, which condemned the foreign policy of the U.S. to inactivity and hesitancy in the Middle East.
Everywhere people took advantage of the existence of DAESH in Iraq and Syria; the West caged the Muslim lands in chaos and degraded the image of Islam, Iran seized Sunni lands, Israel let its competitors weaken, and Assad exterminated opposition groups. Indeed, when it was still within the organization of al-Qaida in Iraq, DAESH was openly supported by Syria. We also know that in its foundational phase, the U.S. used al-Qaida in Afghanistan against the Soviet invasion, which seemed to slip through their fingers in the following process.
A terrorist organization that committed terrorist attacks in France, Belgium, Turkey and the U.S. cannot realize such sophisticated plans without the support of an intelligence organization. As DAESH could not by itself realize such grand terrorist attacks against the capital cities of the world, some intelligence organizations must have supported it. The invasion of Muslim lands began with the occupation of India by the United Kingdom after which each and every country in the Islamic world was occupied by Western forces. One may speculate that the accumulation of intelligence by the U.K. might be the prime manager of the present system since DAESH emerged as the voluntary servant of many states for dealing with their dirty work, and the truth behind that terrorist organization would totally disappear after its ultimate collapse. Our doubts about the latent motives of the U.K. derive from the former troubles in the region that they created.
No Western writer has yet written about the human and financial resources of DAESH. We don't know whether Iran holds further objectives apart from abusing DAESH for their own interests; yet, we have every right to question the current position of the U.K. in the Middle East.
