Everyone knows that America is largely responsible for causing terrorism and creating more terrorists. What the Islamic State really wants, according to our most respected thought leaders, is for the United States to try to stop terrorism. If we do this, or if we use "inflammatory rhetoric," it will only create more jihadis, and give them an even greater "rationale" for killing people they don't like, to quote our secretary of state.
Another way in which America has driven young Sunni Muslims to terrorism is by failing to do anything to prevent Bashar al-Assad from ruthlessly slaughtering civilians in Syria, even after he crossed President Obama's "red line" by deploying chemical weapons against children. This assessment comes straight from the mouth of a Syrian man who joined ISIS and was recently interviewed by the Daily Beast:
Abu Khaled felt compelled to sign up because he believed America was an accomplice to global conspiracy, led by Iran and Russia, to keep the tyrant Bashar al-Assad in power. How else could it be explained that the U.S. was waging war only against Sunnis, and leaving an Alawite-run regime guilty of mass murder by almost every means and its Iranian Shia armies untouched?
Obama, by his own logic, is responsible for terrorism. Bad! BAD OBAMA.
