Escalations, Coups de Theatre, the Probabilities of War with China & Russia. Michael Vlahos, Johns Hopkins.
The U.S. Navy has dispatched an aircraft carrier and several ships accompanying it into the South China Sea in the last few days, a deployment of thousands of U.S. sailors to a region a top U.S. admiral said last week is increasingly militarized by China.
The USS John C. Stennis, the carrier, arrived in the South China Sea on Tuesday, Navy officials said. It is accompanied by the cruiser USS Mobile Bay and the destroyers USS Stockdale and USS Chung-Hoon, said Navy Cmdr. Clay Doss, a spokesman for U.S. Pacific Fleet. The ships arrived in the Western Pacific on Feb. 4 on a deployment from the West Coast of the United States.
Doss said the carrier is carrying out a routine patrol of the South China Sea, where China has in recent weeks moved Chinese fighter jets, military radar and surface-to-air missiles. The Navy will continue to appear in the South China Sea regularly, Doss said. Pacific Fleet ships spending a combined 700 days there last year. [China testing Obama as it expands its influence in the South China Sea] Aside from the carrier group, the Japan-based USS Antietam, a cruiser, also is currently patrolling the South China Sea, Doss said. The USS McCambell, a destroyer, and the USS Ashland, an amphibious dock landing ship, completed similar patrols last week.

On February 13, Turkish artillery positions held by the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), a Kurdish group with links to the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD), in Syria's Aleppo Province.
On February 25, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that the truce in Syria is not obligatory for Turkey to follow if the country feels a threat against its security.
The Russian center on Syrian reconciliation registered 27 violations of the ceasefire regime in Syria in the last 24 hours, with most of them having taken place in Aleppo, the Russian Defense Ministry said Friday.
"In the past 24 hours, 27 violations of the ceasefire regime were registered (Idlib — 7, Damascus and Homs — 4 in each, Daraa — 3, Latakia —1). As before, the greatest number of violations happened in Aleppo — 8 cases, " the ministry said in a press release.

"...Columns of trucks carrying cargo and weapons for militants in Syria cross into the war-wracked country from Turkey on a daily basis, Russian Defense Ministry says. "Practically round-the-clock from the territory of the Republic of Turkey the convoys of large trucks are going across the border with supplies and weapons, which are moving exclusively to the areas, which are controlled by the terrorist groups Jabhat al-Nusra and Ahrar Ash-Sham," chief of the Russian Center for reconciliation between the warring parties in Syria Lt. Gen. Sergei Kuralenko told reporters on Friday. Turkey has been among the main supporters of the militant groups operating in Syria, with reports saying that Ankara actively trains and arms the Takfiri terrorists there and facilitates their safe passage into the crisis-hit Arab state...."

Islamic Law and Finance in America; Sharia and the Claims of ISIS. Robert Michael, New York Bar Association.
“Classical Islamic law or true traditional Shari’a is not the law in ANY country, and has not been since at least Colonial times. Even where it is their organic law that all law is based upon Shari’a, such as in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran, the law today is anamalgam of classical Islamic law and modern Western-inspired laws based upon, usually, either UK/US common law or French or German civil law. These hybrid systems also involve aspects of modern international law, often from multilateral treaties and conventions like the WTO and TRIPS. There is no bright line separating religious, ecclesiastical, family, interpersonal, commercial or penal law, and underlying all is a contract, whether between individuals or with God. Social justice and fairness is required to be an element in all dealings, both family and commercial. One aspect of that is in its anti-capitalist elements, such as the lack of concepts for the time or risk value of money, speculation, limited liability or almost all forms of intangible rights and assets –and the rule that you cannot finance what you are not permitted to do yourself. On the other hand, there are strong anti-Socialist elements as well: profit and personal, not communal, ownership of tangible assets are strongly supported. As noted above, among the Sunni there is no hierarchy; nor has there EVER been, since the time of the Prophet, a Caesaropapist ruler or single legislative or judicial body competent to set or adjudicate definitively the law or rules for all Moslems. Apostasy is a capital crime; those who believe that either the Shi’a or the Sunni are heretics may also believe them guilty of apostasy.” Robert Michael

What Are Islamic Law and Shari’a?
I. Sources of Islamic Law
The Quran
- Unquestionably the highest source of all laws, rules and modes of conduct for all Moslems.
- Revealed orally to the Prophet Mohamed by the Archangel Gabriel in private appearances from 610 to 632 A.D.
- By its terms, the second amendment that corrects and amplifies both the Jewish Bible and the New Testament,
which is then the first such amendment. As a result, Jews and Christians have elevated status as “People of the Book.”
- Two main parts: the Meccan Suras ( 610-622 A.D.) and the Medinan Suras (622-632), based on time living in each city by Mohamed in his original home city (Mecca) and then after he sought refuge in Medina (literally just means “City” after Madinat Al-Nabi, City of the Prophet).
- Dispute between ‘Creationists’ – who believed it was similar to the Jewish and Christian Bibles in that it was divinely inspired but only the literal Word of God when it specifically said so – and ‘Revelationists’ – who believed that every word was the literal Word of God – won by Revelationists in late 9th early 10th century, making every word the literal Word of God.
- Concept of ‘negation’ to solve inconsistencies.
Friday 4 March 2016 / Hour 4, Block B: Robert E. Michael, Esq., Robert E. Michael & Associates PLLC; Chair, Committee on Middle Eastern and North African Affairs, New York City Bar Association; in re: ISIS AND ISLAM (2 of 4)
- Classical Islamic law or true traditional Shari’a is not the law in ANY country, and has not been since at least Colonial times. Even where it is their organic law that all law is based upon Shari’a, such as in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the Islamic Republic of Iran, the law today is an amalgam of classical Islamic law and modern Western-inspired laws based upon, usually, either UK/US common law or French or German civil law. These hybrid systems also involve aspects of modern international law, often from multilateral treaties and conventions like the WTO and TRIPS.
- There is no bright line separating religious, ecclesiastical, family, interpersonal, commercial or penal law, and underlying all is a contract, whether between individuals or with God.
- Social justice and fairness is required to be an element in all dealings, both family and commercial.
- One aspect of that is in its anti-capitalist elements, such as the lack of concepts for the time or risk value of money, speculation, limited liability or almost all forms of intangible rights and assets – and the rule that you cannot finance what you are not permitted to do yourself.
- On the other hand, there are strong anti-Socialist elements as well: profit and personal, not communal, ownership of tangible assets are strongly supported.
- As noted above, among the Sunni there is no hierarchy; nor has there EVER been, since the time of the Prophet, a Caesaropapist ruler or single legislative or judicial body competent to set or adjudicate definitively the law or rules for all Moslems.
- Apostasy is a capital crime; those who believe that either the Shi’a or the Sunni are heretics may
also believe them guilty of apostasy.
