Islamic State Is Knocking On Our Door: The Mosque Attack
The proximity of the mosque attack to the Israeli border.
As you may or may not know, Bir al-Abed, where the horrific mosque attack took place in the northern Egyptian Sinai, is only 144 km (89 miles) from the Israeli border.
That at least 305 people were killed and that about 40 Beduins affiliated with Islamic State carried out the slaughter is well-known as is the reason that particular Mosque in Bir al-Abed was chosen.
The al-Rawda mosque is known as the birthplace of the founder of taṣawwuf (Sufism) in the Sinai. From Libya to Pakistan (80 Sufis were murdered in February), Islamic State fundamentalists have been murdering Sufis wherever they can find them. Even though they are fellow Muslims, they are as reviled by IS as are Christians and Jews (the reasons are complex but suffice it to say that because the Sufis have “saints”, Islamic State views them as idolaters).
Last night, Egyptian television (which was shown on Israeli television) broadcast pictures of Egyptian missiles fired from aircraft destroying targets in the Sinai. Of course, the Egyptian Army claimed that these targets belonged to Islamic State, but they looked like nothing more than houses and empty buildings.
A somber President Sisi also appeared on Egyptian television and pledged that the terror groups of Al-Qaeda and Islamic State would be completely destroyed in the Sinai. However, this effort has apparently been going on for at least a year now in conjunction with Israel which from time to time has flown missions over the border area.
Judging from the mosque massacre, this effort has been unsuccessful, and there is little reason to believe it will be now. The Bedouins are adept at disappearing into the desert and at fighting a guerrilla war. Every time the Egyptian Army starts a new offensive, ambushes take place, scores of Egyptian soldiers are killed, and the offensive stops. There seems to be no real taste among the Egyptian military for actually rooting out the terrorists.
However, something must be done.
Israel’s Negev Desert is mainly populated by Beduins of course, and radicalization has been taking place there for many years.
It won’t be long until Islamic State carries out a similar attack here.
A student from Malawi, who had worked with an Israeli health volunteer in his country battling AIDS, came up to us as we walked down the street in the UC-Davis Picnic Day Parade and wanted to carry the Israeli flag.
