The west is losing its war with Islamic fundamentalism for one simple reason. It continues to play the game the enemy wants it to play. The Islamic world has learned that the more it parses itself up into separate groups for western consumption while actually operating as one homogeneous group, the more the west will engage in cat-herding while the Islamic State expands, as Shoebat.com has reported.

If you want to know who attacked the U.S. in Benghazi on 9/11/12, it was ISIS.

We’re told that Ansar al-Sharia attacked the U.S. Special Mission Compound (SMC) and CIA Annex. In fact, the biggest fish in U.S. custody right now is Ahmed Abu Khatallah, who has been identified as a leader of Ansar al-Sharia in Benghazi. In reality, he’s a leader of ISIS as well.

Three days after the Benghazi attacks, Ansar al-Sharia descended on the city again, to protest the “Innocence of Muslims” video. Here is a photo published by the Associated Press, purporting to show Ansar al-Sharia protesters in Benghazi. Notice the flag? Does it look familiar?

Here is how AP captioned the photo:

In this Friday, Sept. 14, 2012 file photo, A Libyan follower of Ansar al-Shariah Brigades chants anti-U.S. slogans during a protest in front of the Tibesti Hotel, in Benghazi, Libya, as part of widespread anger across the Muslim world about a film ridiculing Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

Here is the ISIS flag:

ISIS flag = Ansar al-Sharia flag.

Coincidence? Fast forward to September 21, 2012, one week after Ansar al-Sharia protested in Benghazi. They did it again, in greater numbers. Again, check out the ISIS flags and the protesters raising their index fingers, which means they believe in one god and are denying the Holy Trinity:

Let’s not stop there. The protests / riots that allegedly set the Middle East on fire on September 11, 2012 began in Cairo, right? Have a look at the ISIS flags:

In the days after the Benghazi attacks, protests took place in front of western embassies all across the Middle East in response to the video. Check out this photo from the protests in Tunisia on September 14th. In the top left-hand corner is… you guessed it… an ISIS flag:

To illustrate just how absurd it all is, consider how Ansar al-Sharia was created, according to the Associated Press just three days after the Benghazi attacks:

Ansar al-Shariah, whose name in Arabic means “Supporters of Shariah,” broke away last summer from the February 17 Brigade, which was the main militia force in Benghazi in the fight against Gadhafi’s forces.

February 17 Brigade wast the militia the U.S. State Department relied on to protect the Special Mission Compound in Benghazi. If there is no discernible difference between Ansar al-Sharia and ISIS, this means that the Compound was being protected by a militia that gave birth to ISIS.

Is it really any wonder four Americans were murdered?
