Analyst's note:  We see here yet more upheaval in the Middle East.  Americans want to view the world as following the template of our country's early days of revolution for freedom, but such is simply not the case.  Follow the money and you will find that these issues in the Middle East are being funded and encouraged by Iran and facilitated by the Muslim Brotherhood -- the Islamist jihadists.  The way of life we know here in America is not their end-game.

The ultimate target of the Islamist jihadists is the destruction of Israel and America and followed by the return of the Islamic caliphate to rule the world. The Islamists -- to include many here in America (like Louis Farrakhan) -- believe that this bloody upheaval will precede the return of the 12th Imam or Mahdi.  Some Christians now believe that if we look at the Mahdi, also known as the 12th Imam, he really is the biblical antichrist.

Like it or note we must decide. If you think religion is not involved here, then please think again.  Our Islamist jihadist enemies are driven by it.  They wake up every day and try to figure out how to destroy our nation and our people.
