Clash of the Caliphates
A Muslim Caliphate is forming from North Africa through Pakistan. The three contending groups are ISIS (the catalyst to justify the establishment of the winner), Turkey (Sunni Caliphate and formerly back by the Obama regime) and Iran (Shi’ite and now backed by both Obama and Putin). One sure winner is American defense contractors. One sure loser: Americans under tyranny.
This will be an interesting Summer of Beheadings.

Unified Sunni Coalition Confronts Iran
Turkey’s Erdogan: ‘Iran is trying to dominate the region’
Iran, whose pursuit in recent years of imperial ambitions in the Middle East has seemed inexorable, found itself over the weekend confronting a hostile coalition of nine Sunni states ranging from Morocco to Turkey, with nuclear-armed Pakistan a possible add-on.
The bombing in Yemen of Iranian-linked Houthi rebels that began last Thursday by the Saudi-led coalition marked the unexpected emergence of a unified Sunni front to counter the threat of regional dominance by Shiite Iran. Egypt, one of the central members of the coalition, has already dispatched naval forces to the waters off Yemen to prevent Houthi militants, acting on behalf of Iran, from threatening shipping to and from the Suez Canal.
The new Sunni militancy follows the accession two months ago of King Salman in Saudi Arabia. His son, Mohammad bin Salman, whom he appointed as defense minister, has taken the leading role in organizing the coalition and planning the strikes against the Houthis, assisted by U.S. intelligence.
