(In the Name of God, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful)
In 2014, I was in law school, and that is when
Daesh was still relatively tame and most honestly couldn't have predicted even with its videos that
Daesh would go as far as it did to attack Western nations or even Muslim-majority nations. In 2014,
Daesh's plans included a clear-cut and publicized idea to attack Israel and wreck havoc there. If you're Israel and you know that you're in the Middle East surrounded by nations hostile to you due to your reputation for human rights violations and illegal occupation, you'd have to be smart enough to ALWAYS stay abreast of every development, every sound, every wind in the Middle East. And I think that's what Israel does, as would I if I were part of its government; it is not conspiracy - it is basic common sense and survival 101.
And if I had (as the Israeli government) learned that
Daesh, a brutal organization comprising of wanna-be-martyrs and fanatics, was planning on attacking Israel - I would as the Israeli government send my best agents to infiltrate
Daesh because there is no such thing as being too safe and ensure that
Daesh didn't reach its objective to wreck havoc. My agents would have two jobs: one to win the trust of top leaders and the other to transmit all information at safest moments to Israeli government. That would be again common sense. I'd do it because "knowing" the enemy as well as the back of your hand is the surest way of ensuring that your enemy is under your eye. Do I think this happened? Yes. Do I have any way to prove it objectively? No. Why do I think this happened? Because the 2014 publicized goal of
Daesh to defeat Assad and his armed forces and destroy Israel did not align with what happened in 2015 and 2016 comprising of attacks on Western nations and Muslim-majority nations. I think somewhere
Daesh's objectives were diverted and the hatred redirected to another direction by deliberation, and I do think Mossad agents played a hand in it. Can I prove it objectively? No. Do I believe it? Yes.
Also, I do think
Daesh comprises mostly of the most fanatical and brutal Muslims the world has ever seen - I am not denying that nor will I ever. I don't think many Muslims realize how brutal some Muslims have gotten over the course of years of fomented anger at Western intervention that is eager to burn the world down. I know this because on another site on the Internet I went in with the idea of destroying
Daesh's interweb support and had the dubious privilege of talking to
Daesh defenders and even a self-confessed
Daesh member who was happy to share his real name and Twitter and images, and for my pains of proving that
Daesh is not considered legitimate by Muslim scholars globally and proving that what
Daesh is doing is wrong from Islamic sources, I was called vile names, constantly menaced and received actual death threats. I didn't take any of that seriously because menace and death threats on the Internet don't faze me, but it did prove to me one thing:
Daesh hate Muslims more who do not accept them as legitimate than they do even the West, and wrestling power is the opiate on which they are seeking to thrive. I honestly worry about the future of this world because I do think the world is going to hell in a handbasket because brutality is going to be met with more brutality and I think the persons who will suffer are the innocents (and don't they always!).
