The Persian Paradox – Iran is much more modern than you think

Comments Off

Published on Spiegel Online International, by Erich Follath, April 3, 2015 (Photo Gallery).

People in the West tend to have a monolithic view of Iran. But there’s a lot more to the country than the mullah-led theocracy, and it often gets ignored. And national pride is alive and well … // Continue Reading…

Islamic State is the cancer of modern capitalism

Comments Off

Published on Intrepid Report, by Nafeez Ahmed, April 3, 2015.

Debate about the origins of the Islamic State (IS) has largely oscillated between two extreme perspectives. One blames the West. IS is nothing more than a predictable reaction to the occupation of Iraq, yet another result of Western foreign policy blowback. The other attributes IS’s emergence purely to the historic or cultural barbarism of the Muslim world, whose backward medieval beliefs and values are a natural incubator for such violent extremism … //

Auf Anderwelt Online, von Peter Haisenko, 27. März 2015.

Es schockiert mich, mit welcher Leichtigkeit ein junger Mann zum Massenmörder erklärt wird. Wie kann ein französischer Staatsanwalt, der bislang nur über Teilinformationen verfügt, einen unbescholtenen Menschen unter Preisgabe seines Namens öffentlich des Massenmordes bezichtigen?

Published on Tom Dispatch, by Dilip Hiro, March 31, 2015.

In June 2014, as he was preparing to send 300 U.S. military advisers back to Iraq, President Obama hailed the American counterterror campaign in Yemen — Special Operations advisers (and CIA operatives) on the ground, drones in the air — as a “model” for what he hoped to do against the Islamic State.
