Its a cycle S that goes back a lot further. The US opened the gates of hell when they invaded Iraq. Exactly what Chief Justice Jackson described at Nuremberg as the "supreme crime" - from which all other war crimes spawn from. Before 2003 there was nothing resembling ISIS or AQ in Syria or Iraq. Women had more freedom than they had anywhere else in the middle east.
Indirectly or directly, western actions have caused the death of untold thousands of innocents in the middle east. Whether or not you believe the west should be blamed for this, it still is the reality.
Muslims have been killing each other for centuries without any Western interference. It is a colossal lie to say, as you do, that now they are killing each other only because of Western interference. This is a lie calculated to excuse and cover up the deep and murderous schism in Islam and its violent teachings.
Iraq and Iran fought each other in a war for 10 year in the 1980s. Saddam killed his own people, as did many other Muslim rulers, from Indonesia to Algeria. Muslims want Western interference in the Balkans when the Christians were killing the Muslims. But when the Muslims are killing the Muslims you want the West to stay away. Except when you don't. I am sure Muslims were very supportive of the US as it helped the Afghans against the Soviets. Not you and not any other Muslims was demanding then that the West stay out of it.
You are a bunch of hypocrites addled with an incurable victim mentality. Muslims are massacring people across the world but you insist on being the victims.
I am fully in favour of the West keeping out of the affairs of all Muslims countries as long as all Muslims are also keep out of all Western countries.
