This assassinated Egyptian thinker predicted the rise of ISIS 25 years ago

Ashraf Abd al-Hameed, Al Arabiya.net – Cairo Wednesday, 17 May 2017

Late Egyptian thinker Farag Foda predicted Iran’s practices in the region 25 years ago and predicted the emergence of the term “Islamic State” which is currently adopted by ISIS.

In interviews with a Tunisian television channel in the beginning of the 1990s, Foda predicted several developments that are currently developing in the Arab world and said Egypt and Arab countries were threatened with division through the “Lebanese model” or the “Iranian model.”

Foda, who was assassinated by al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya in June 1992, added that the Iranian theory was based on young men who would rise from the bottom of society and revolt against the so-called infidel government and regime and exploit economic crises and mobilize people to protest and seize power.

I predict that once isis is gone, within 10-15 years we'll see an entirely new group of madmen and terrorists rise to replace them.
