ISIS' Next Target: The Suez Canal

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Following ISIS blitzkrieg in which it took over nearly half of Iraq and a third of Syria in the blink of an eye, at which point it created its own Islamic State Caliphate resulting in Obama's own personal war against the jihadists, some have wondered what is ISIS' next step: surely its leadership will not merely stagnatte as one after another US predator drone bomb away the capital Reqqa until ISIS figurehead leader al-Baghdadi is killed or gravely wounded. To be sure, the one thing ISIS, which stunned the world with the speed of its ascent, can not afford is to stand still.

So what is next on the strategic timeline for the Islamic State?

According to one source, Al Arabiya, which cites Egyptian experts, the answer is none other than the Suez Canal, and the country it is located in: Egypt.

“There is definitely a threat from ISIS to Egypt,” Mohammed Badr, a professor of political science at the University of Germany told Al Arabiya News, adding that the group has the country in its “line of sight.”

“All extremist groups represent a danger for Egypt,” Badr said, adding that “ISIS, the Muslim Brotherhood, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis [an Islamist militant group] are all dangerous for Egypt but the level of their threat is different.”

More details from Al-Arabiya:

One alleged ISIS militant took to social media to warn Egypt that it should be expecting a “surprise” soon. “Except a surprise in Egypt within days,” alleged ISIS member Abu Siyaf al-Masry wrote on his personal Twitter account, according to the Cairo-based daily al-Masry al-Youm.

 

These online threats are seen by some analysts as a means to mark their presence in Egypt, despite their absence on the ground. “They don’t have any presence in Egypt until now, which is why they use the internet and social media platforms to interact with Egyptians and spread their influence,” Mohssen al-Faham, a political analyst and commentator for Cairo-based daily al-Gomhuria, told Al Arabiya News.

 

In recent weeks, the Islamist group started showing notable signs that it might be interested in expanding its influence in Egypt.

ISIS' strategy on how to infiltrate Egypt, if indeed that is the case, is simple: ISIS has started to communicate with and coach Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, Egypt’s deadliest militant group, and share advice with it on how to create secret cells.

“ISIS and Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis are linked on an ideological level even though the group is not believed to be officially linked to ISIS insurgents,” Badr said.

“Their exchange is another sign that shows a clear threat to Egypt from ISIS,” he added.

While the west is traumatized by three beheadings of western journalists in the past month, in Egypt this is almost a daily occurrence, especially if the word "Israel" is uttered. Last week, Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis, which is based in the Sinai Peninsula claimed to have beheaded four men accused of being Israeli Mossad spies in a video that seemed to have been inspired by the methods of ISIS.

Meanwhile Egypt, already deep in political turmoil with the military regime doing its best to cleanse all representatives of the US-backed Muslim Brotherhood (remember them?), appears to not be too concerned about the ISIS threat. Specifically, the possibility of an ISIS offensive was downplayed by an Egyptian Interior Ministry spokesman, who told Al Arabiya News that al-Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood were “the two main terrorist organizations” that threatened Egypt.

“ISIS cannot reach a country like Egypt given the cohesion between people and the unity of the nation,” Interior Ministry spokesman Hany Abdellatif told Al Arabiya News, adding that the group targets weak, failed states.

 

“But we [the Interior Ministry] are still getting threats of terrorism and must remain vigilant as the region is ablaze,” Abdellatif said.

And while Egypt may or may not be the next territorial expansion for ISIS, a new threat is emerging in the Middle East/North Africa region.

According to Reuters, a new armed group calling itself the Caliphate Soldiers in Algeria has split from al Qaeda's North African branch and sworn loyalty to the radical breakaway group Islamic State fighting in Syria and Iraq. A breakaway of key Algerian commanders from Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, known as AQIM, would show deepening rivalry between al Qaeda's core command and the Islamic State over leadership of the transnational Islamist militancy. As we expected several months ago, as Al Qaeda's reputation in the terrorist world plummets and is replaced by the "bloodthirsty" ISISites, more and more splinter terrorist groups will gravitate to the "cool, new" clique.

In a communique, AQIM central region commander Khaled Abu Suleimane, whose real name is Gouri Abdelmalek, claimed leadership of the new group, joined by an AQIM commander of an eastern region in Algeria, where the al Qaeda wing has its base. "You have in the Islamic Maghreb men if you order them they will obey you," Suleimane said in reference to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State. "The Maghreb has deviated from the true path."

 

The communique was posted on jihadi websites. Algerian officials did not immediately comment on the statement.

 

The Algeria splinter group is the latest to side with Baghdadi over al Qaeda's aging chieftain Ayman al-Zawahri, as the Islamic State appeals to younger militants with successes in gaining territory in Iraq and Syria.

Finally, to cement the fact that Al Qaeda is no longer even remotely relevant to anyone, and certainly not the CIA, Site Intelligence reported earlier that Al-Qaeda released its annual video for the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and in this installment, placed group official Hossam Abdul Raouf in the prominent role of lead speaker, and denied reports of its waning influence and strength. Translated: Al Qaeda is dead, replaced by its even more ferocious, if mostly for populist purposes, spin offs, ISIS and now, the Caliphate Soldiers.

And if and when the Islamic State and its Caliphate Soldiers take over the Suez Canal, watch as all those Brent shorts, many of which are rumored to be originating at Liberty 33 itself, suddenly get a margin call.

Buuut, the ideas behind ISIS are impervious to bombs.  In fact, they gain strength from adversity.

You have no fucking idea what you are talking about. It isn't a boogeyman as the EGYPTIAN newspapers (invariably pan Arab and anti Zionist) and political commentators that have been reporting on the killings in the Sinai for the past 16 months. So far about 2,000 dead (including about 600 police/army).

Cairo was my home and I used to travel to Rafah and other parts of the Sinai, don't think I'll be seeing Rafah again. This shit is more dangerous than back in the 80s and 90s (Gamaah el islamiyah was the main culprit back then) and Egypt had several thousand militants travel to Syria during the regime of Morsi. Now they are coming back and bringing their skills to fight the moderate fundamentalist Sisi and his secularist allies.

The Ikhwan (muslim brotherhood) is as broken as Al Qaida in Egypt and the whackjobs are joining ever more fanatical groups. Those groups will align (or join) ISIS and the Suez is a tempting target as it is a massive earner of foreign revenue. Between tourism and the canal Egypt earns most of the money it needs to survive and ISIS can ruin both very quickly.

ISIS doesn't need to capture the Canal. It just needs to make it unsafe for the foreign ships to transverse. If it becomes too expensive (insurance) to use then the ships will take the long way around the Cape. Sink a laden ship at a narrow point and that becomes a block. If a pissy little boat can damage the USS Cole then a similar attack would sink an oil tanker.

Wahhabism is named after an eighteenth century preacher and scholar, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab (1703–1792).[15] He started arevivalist movement in the remote, sparsely populated region of Nejd,[16] advocating a purging of practices such as the popular cult of saints, and shrine and tomb visitation, widespread among Muslims, but which he considered idolatry, impurities and innovations in Islam.[4][17]Eventually he formed a pact with a local leader Muhammad bin Saud offering political obedience and promising that protection and propagation of the Wahhabi movement, would mean "power and glory" and rule of "lands and men."[18]

saudi is kosher brudder full rabbi certification

 

 

D. Mustafa Turan wrote, in The Donmeh Jews, that Muhammad ibn Abdul Wahhab was a descendant of a family of Donmeh Jews from Turkey. The Donmeh were descendants of followers of the infamous false-messiah of Judaism, Shabbetai Zevi, who shocked the Jewish world in 1666 by converting to Islam. Viewing it as a sacred mystery, Zevi's followers imitated his conversion to Islam, though secretly keeping to their Kabbalistic doctrines. In Europe, the Shabbeteans were eventually led a century later by Jacob Frank, claiming to be a reincarnation of Zevi. And, according to Rabbi Antelman in To Eliminate the Opiate, to them belonged the Rothschilds who had a hand in the founding of the Bavarian Illuminati. The Donmeh community of Turkey were concentrated in the city of Salonika, which became a hotbed of Masonic activity, and from which the Young Turk movement evolved, which aided in the collapse of the Muslim empire of the Ottoman Turks.

Yes Tony

Problem is that the Muslims cannot accept in their minds that they have been taken for a ride and are in reality being controlled by the Jews.

There is also a public statement by King Abdullah in 1969 i think,that the Jews were their cousins.

When i tell this to a Muslim- he changes the topic.

We will soon see who Isis is working for.

 

They could have blown the dam in Iraq and they didn't.  The freeway to the Suez canal goes right by Israel.  Let's see if they make a pit stop there.

When they get to the Canal, they should blow the locks, right?  Let's see if they do that.

Every day in every way they are looking more and more like America's Arab Foreign Legion.

BTW I think they beheaded that English bloke to get a few more no votes in Scotland.

You must ge a geographically challenged yank. The locks are on the Panama Canal. There are no locks on the Suez Canal.

The canal can be blocked, it was for years during the late 60s-early 70s and that lead to the construction of the Cape sized supertankers.

Yes, Effendi, I'm challenged, but more nautically and topographically than geographically.  

Don't think I was an advocate for Isis blowing up the dam, or sinking a large tanker in the Suez canal.  I was only trying (and still am) to reckon the intentions of this swarm of bearded beheaders.

The image they have portrayed is one of dam blower uppers and canal blockers and yet they seem to avoid, except for destroying mosques, destroying important infrastructure.  

Slaving and beheading is their forte, not causing any major damage to the infrastructure of Iraq or Syria (and soon Egypt).

Is that because they anticipate the arrival of their caliphate, or have the US and Saudi Arabia forbidden them that kind of action?

Beheadings are necessary for Americans to see and are entertainment for the Saudis.  

The sheeple are terrified and willing to surrender more and more of their freedoms for their peace of mind

They didn't blow the dam because it would have flooded Mosul which they just took control of (duh) and the dam also provides the electricity for the area they control.  Please....

Do they still have Mosul?  

Maybe, von Clausewitz, if they had blown up the dam they'd still possess Mosul, albeit slightly damp. 

And who'd a thunk that these bearded beheaders cared a camel's fart about electricity?

Besides you?

Poor Isis. She was the most adored Goddess in antiquity.  In Egyptian mythology, Set, the God of Violence, murdered her husband Osiris, and tore his body apart.

Now the most violent have taken her name.

Isis is US military contractors with beards and turbans.

If you see them standing alongside the canal wavying their guns in the air llike they did at the dam in Iraq, but letting the tankers pass through, then you know they're working for Obama.

Isis is a CIA three pronged invention

1) it scares the crap out of the American electorate.

2) it's a shoehorn for Obama to get back into Syria.

3) when the time comes, they'll be herded into the abattoir, Obama will emerge from the F-15, and personally destroy Isis, like Peter Quinn in 'Homeland'.

Black Mission Accomplished

Yeah.

The IS is a land army with no seaports. They may have cells in Egypt, but would have to cross Israel to invade Egypt and capture the canal. Ain't gonna happen anytime soon.  They will move in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, or Saudi first.
