CHAPTER 1 On 11 September 2001, 19 Islamic jihadists, mostly from Saudi Arabia and all members of Al Qaeda , a Sunni Muslim terrorist group, hijacked and crashed four passenger jets in the USA, with a total loss of almost 3000 lives. Osama bin Laden, the Al Qaeda founder, justifi ed their action on religious grounds, declaring Americans were disbelievers in the Koran and Sharia and fought against Allah in the cause of Satan. Beginning in the summer of 2014 another Sunni Muslim extremist called Daesh in Arabic or ISIS or ISIL (Islamic State in Iraq and Syria/Levant) and led by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi committed and continues to commit atrocities in Syria and Iraq, particularly against Christians, Shiite and pro-Western Muslims, and other sects. It also vowed to conquer Rome, the historical capital of Western Civilization, and build an Islamic caliphate to rule the world. On 13 November 2015, Daesh committed mass murder in the streets of Paris and took credit for blowing up two weeks earlier a Russian civilian jetliner over Egypt. In March 2014, Vladimir Putin attacked Ukraine, annexed Ukraine’s Crimea into Russia, and mobilized troops on Ukraine’s eastern border in support of Russian-backed separatists because, he
