Editing Islamic Gladio

The war in Afghanistan in the 1980's was initiated with the help of the CIA and the destabilization, via coups, of Afghanistan. It was touted by the US National Security Council and US State Department as the Soviet's Vietnam war. It delighted US officials such as Secretary of State Zbigniew Brzezinski. It entailed a utopian vision of the 'military industrial complex'. Brzezinski wrote about the control of Eurasia which defined as inclusive of Turkey, Afghanistan and Pakistan as follows:

"For America, the chief Geo political prize is Eurasia… Now a non-Eurasian power is preeminent in Eurasia, and America's global primacy is directly dependent on how long and how effectively it's preponderance on the Eurasian continent is sustained… To put it in a terminologies that harkens back to the more brutal age of aging empires, the three great imperatives of imperial geostrategy are to prevent collusion and maintain security dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and protected, and to keep the barbarians from coming together."

Paul Williams in Operation Gladio:

"Brzezinski and fellow members of his "over-world" (the elite group which puppeteers events to bring about a "new world order") realized that the concept of democracy and freedom could never galvanize the scattered tribes of peoples of Central Asia. The people could only be unified by the cause of Allah since they were overwhelmingly Islamic. The holy war in Afghanistan, in the view of American geo-strategists, offered many benefits, including the possible downfall of the Soviet Union and the possibility of gaining access and control over the vast natural gas and oil resources of Eurasia."

Prior to the USSR's war in Afghanistan the CIA launched [[Operation Cyclone]]. It was an attempt to destabilize the Soviet Union by creating, training and funding the spread of militant Islam throughout EurAsia. It spawned the terrorists groups the CIA has spent the last 30 years telling the world its trying to eliminate. 

Those organizations include (but not limited to) al-Qaeda, al-Jihad, the Ulema Union of Afghanistan,, the Salafi Group for Proselytism and Combat, the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, Harkat ul-Ansar, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam, Jamiat Ulema-e-Pakistan, Lashikar e-Taiba, and the al-Jihad Group and eventually give rise to the mujahideen and ISIS. 

These groups would assassinate millions of people all over the world and gave birth to the New Islamic World Order (suboridinate to the New World Order) which gave rise to [[Fethullah Gulen]] and his following.
