Conspiracy theories spread: United States Deliberately Create ISIS

 

Beirut - The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) aka Daulah Islamiyah threatens not only minority Yazidis, Christians, Shia Muslims as well in Iraq and Syria. The whole country is now wary of the spread of ideology and violent way to the corners of the Earth.

Problem ISIS, rumors circulated in Lebanon: United States allegedly behind the formation of ISIS. Even Hillary Clinton was said to have claimed in his book, Hard Choices.

"In the Middle East, conspiracy theory ingrained," says a former Lebanese officials in talks with the BBC, Suzanne Kianpour, in Beirut.

ISIS militants last week began to enter Lebanon, spread terror in the village of Arsal near the border with Syria, forcing hundreds of people to flee from the house. Rumours emerged that the United States is to blame for their actions.

ISIS horrible video about the atrocities against the Lebanese Armed Forces spread on the internet. Similarly, the theory that the United States was behind them.

As the basis of their claims, the conspiracy theorists point to a 'strong evidence': Hillary Clinton's statement, former Secretary of State is expected to be developed in the 2016 presidential election.

Photos that allegedly Hillary book excerpt sentence widespread in social media in Lebanon - United States claimed make ISIS to create instability in the region, for the benefit of his own Uncle Sam.

Rumors are rampant that even makes Lebanon's Foreign Ministry summoned the United States ambassador to the country, David Hale.

How did the United States

US Embassy immediately issued an official statement on their official Facebook page. Trying to defuse rumors.

"Any assumption that call, consider the United States recognizes the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil - another name ISIS) - in addition to as a terrorist organization - or have a role in its formation, proved wrong. Issue spread in Lebanon, which mentions the opposite , is the accusation absurd. "

Plus, Hillary Clinton actually openly criticized the Obama administration's policies are not membeking Syrian rebels - which leads to the rise of ISIS. He did not accuse the United States to form ISIS.

Regardless, the theory of emergence is not surprising. History records, USA several times and supports militant guerrilla groups: the mujahideen in Afghanistan - from where Al Qaeda emerged. Also the fact that the United States allies in the Gulf of Daulah Islamiyah was accused of supporting.

"Such theories abound because Washington has shown a tendency to support regime change. Supporting rebel groups in that context is not a new practice," said Octavius ​​Pinkard, foreign policy analyst and Middle East politics from Brussels, who recently conducted field research in Lebanon, such as  quotes from the BBC, Tuesday (08/12/2014)

However, the risk of disturbing rumors American interests in Lebanon - a country that adopted a policy of soft power. The theory that the United States should be blamed for beheadings, people buried alive, and the other atrocities that ISIS can be very damaging to the image of the United States.

Later, a talk that surfaced on the streets of Beirut is that Hezbollah will not let ISIS entered the capital of Lebanon. Instead, "the United States will help us."

"Most people here believe that the United States and Saudi is one voice about the oil money. And ISIS is a major donor Arabia or the United States. History teaches us, usually funder was the instigator," said Amer Murad, a resident of Beirut.

"An important development that we see today is a collaboration between the Lebanese military with Hezbollah to defend the country from the threat that caused the civil war in Syria," said Octavius ​​Pinkard.

When the conflict in Syria or Lebanon evolve, so do the perceptions of Washington. There, a trio of Hezbollah, Damascus, and Tehran won the propaganda battle.

However, when Obama announced air strikes against Iraq ISIS, on Thursday, the support of the United States re-emerged on Facebook.

'I have never felt this much fun against the United States intervention, "said one Facebooker. Although not all people think the same Lebanese.
