Middle East - Friend Or Foe?

With all the turmoil in the Middle East and the terrorist threat level raised how should our Government now react to individual countries like Syria and Iran who are both trying to tackle IS.

The UK has major issues with Assad and Iran's nuclear capability and yet we are friendlier with Saudi Arabia but there are question marks about funding IS.

Who are our friends and who are our enemies? It's getting hazier....

Big question. I hope it never happens, but I can't help thinking that eventually we will be at war with Islam.

Despite having a common cause, in this case regarding IS, how does the UK co-operate though in defeating them when we are constantly at loggerheads, encouraging sanctions etc, on the nations we need to work with?

"...eventually we will be at war with Islam." Would it not be nearly impossible to battle an idea?

We cannot draw the 'curtain', as to do so would ignore a huge problem that we MUST confront....

Disagree AG. It is not our problem we have enough of our own. How would we feel if they had interfered with the troubles in Northern Ireland?
