Lars Bangert Struwe, a researcher at the University of Copenhagen’s Centre for Military Studies … says that “the conflict has gone from being political to be religious” … the current conflict will last several years.
Lars Bangert Struwe believes that the international community has hesitated too long.
“I’m not so concerned about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. They’ll be able to negotiate at one time or another. I am far more concerned about Syria and Iraq, where individuals are born who want to fight for a higher political case, that reaches beyond state level, and by all means, including their own death, are ready to make an attempt to change the world. As I read it, the concept of the Islamic caliphate is that is should cover the whole world, and that it is not just something that concerns the local area,” he says, calling himself a pessimist on the Middle East’s behalf.

SpiritOf1683 says
Errm, ISIS and Hamas follow the same Koran and have the same diktats. Another deceiver who seeks to pigeonhole Jihads. Hamas has no intention of negotiating, is a likely ally of ISIS, either now or sometime in the future, and like ISIS, they’re Sunni muslims.
Kasey says
The Islamic peace they all talk about as the religion of peace, can only exist when sharia law rules supreme via fear in action. Until then for them, and until that happens around the World, jihad must prevail.
But reality and what Muslims say is taqiyya in total action!
John C. Barile says
“Peace” is either submission or death.

“Lars Bangert Struwe, a researcher at the University of Copenhagen’s Centre for Military Studies … says that “the conflict has gone from being political to be religious”.
It has NOT gone from political to religious. It has ALWAYS been religious.
1,400 years now.

Well fuck me Lars really? Here I am thinking it would all stop if they gained control of Syria and Iraq, lucky your around to put me on the right track. Let me just help you out with your other stroke of genius, the current conflict has gone from political to religious! Lars ol mate, you do understand Islam’s ideology is both political and religious don’t you? This conflict will last a couple of years, no not quite it will last as long as Islam exists. Also you might want to read up on Islam, dying while involved in Jihad is the ultimate for a Muslim, which sort of explains their willingness to involve themselves in unrealistic military campaigns and their high birth rates to ensure a constant supply of fighters.
Angemon says
Islam is a mix of religion and politics. A more accurate description would be to simply say “this conflict is all about islam”.

You don’t expect idiots like him to believe that do you?
Jaladhi says
How stupid kuffars are!!! They need to do research to find Muslim/Islams aim!! OMG, all you have to do is to read Quran and see Muslims history of last 1400 years and you will know Islam’s aim is to dominate the world and eliminate all other religions but Islam.Truly kuffars are stupid and they invent ways to help Muslims to kill them!!
SpiritOf1683 says
True. as Edmund Burke said “Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.” And we’ve forgotten 1,400 years of history. To the vast majority of people, mention the Battle for Malta in 1565, the Battle of Vienna in 1683, Tours in 732 or the Reconquista, they’ll look at you as if you came from Mars. And yet in the annals of history, the outcome was as important for Western Civilization in these battles as any fought over the last 2,500 years or so. Defeat in those battles, particularly at Tours would have left us living in a caliphate.

” Defeat in those battles, particularly at Tours would have left us living in a caliphate.”
Yes.
Kim says
while the content of his analysis is not surprising, it is surprisingly clear what he has to say.
He doesn’t offer any apology or “explanatation” why this conflict so totally doesn’t have anything to do with religion. He’s clear that this is going to be a longer conlict (and nothing that can be quickly solved by peace talks).
So far it is one of the most reasonable voices I’ve heard.

Danish researcher discovers that the heart pumps blood. He must have been bottle feed hashish.

…yes Lars, good on ya! Reinventing the wheel!
F… man, please let me know who or what institution sponsor such inane research into the obvious.
I feel ashamed being Danish…
nkk.
Richie says
The fight might be waged on the streets. I can imagine a day when muslims will kick down doors in Sweden, England, Denmark and other European nations, and try and rape and kill the occupants.Western governments will do nothing, for fear of causing offense. People will fight back, but the western governments will try and protect the Muslim aggressors
Tom Goddijn says
Let’s cut all the bs, islam is evil and the crusaders were right after all
JIMJFOX says
Another EXPERT.
Another fat research grant and he might begin to suspect that Islam is supremacist, totalitarian, racist dogma dressed in religion, to give it immunity. Or not.
Where do I apply for such a grant??

The problem is not only ISIS or ISIL the problem IS IS LAM.
Europe, Wake up and smell the peace!
Islam is wholly incompatible with Western civilization, yet here it is. It is here because of mindless immigration policies and touchy-feely multiculturalism. Muslims have harnessed the freedom and liberties enjoyed in the west and used them to achieve their own aberrant goals. They do not want to assimilate into the culture of their host countries. Their goals will be met when sharia is the law of the land and islam the only religion. When the nations of the west become another one of their wretched hives.
Another favorite slogan of theirs is “Freedom Go To Hell”. So here they are trying to take yours away..They abhor the freedoms and perceived excesses of the West.

Surah Al-Baqara, Verse 212:
زُيِّنَ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا وَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَالَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَاللَّهُ يَرْزُقُ مَن يَشَاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
The life of this world is made to seem fair to those who disbelieve, and they mock those who believe, and those who guard (against evil) shall be above them on the day of resurrection; and Allah gives means of subsistence to whom he pleases without measure.
