Will Islamism cease to be a threat?

[PSOL]

The loss of disposable income from falling oil prices along with ISIS basically wrecking the movement worldwide has kind of dampened things. The donors in the gulf have been herded to fear Iran as an imminent threat as well, coinciding with rising state v state competition in MENA geopolitics.

It’s for all intentions dead.

No, Islamism will keep evolving. Just look at the Syrian jihadists this past decade and the jihadist movement since the Soviet-Afghan War.

You mean the same Syrian Jihadists eating each other alive in an increasingly decreasing Idlib while all their fighters sign up as mercs elsewhere. Yeah, that’s truly an evolution to the end.

Outside of the Salafi Jihadists, where else are Islamists a cause for concern? They are gone in Egypt after the unrest there and on the sidelines to the more secular-oriented opposition. They failed at being on top in Tunisia. Pakistan under Imran Khan aren’t a big fan anymore due to security concerns. Meanwhile more people are becoming secular across what once was the Islamic world. Only in Mozambique now with Wahhabist warlords and in Indonesia are they getting power, and the future there is volatile

On the Shia side, the current popular resistance within Lebanon, Iraq, and Iran. The former legalized Homosexuality with Hezbollah in government ffs

Al-Qaeda isn’t going anywhere in any of their fronts, they are a nothingburger now.

Iran is countered by its ambitions by Israel and Turkey also, so the argument that Iran would take over from a US-deescalation regionally falls flat.

The Houthis from the info I’m getting on them are only more rigid in the sense of fully representing the oppressed Zaydi Shia minority there. Unlike with the PMU or Hezbollah however, they are not as sectarian. The government of the northern Yemeni state also is not totally ran by the Houthis or just Shias and has better rule of law.

This, and mainly the fact that the cooperation between the Houthis and Iran is quite minimal relatively speaking—they aren’t subservient proxies totally onboard with what Khomeini or the Sepah says—is why they aren’t on the terror list anymore.

Iran isn’t Al-Qaeda in wanting to create a new Caliphate or even having the means to anymore.

So much of this post is wrong it’s hard to know where to start.

Start with the first paragraph.
