...Our "Problem" with Muslims exist because WE created it. We armed Bin Laden. We armed Saddam...
Incorrect.
Our 'problem' is the Warrior Religion to which these 'notables' and their peoples subscribe, the lack of a central authority (historical or present-day) for the interpretation and reformation of such dogma, and the savage, violent, aggressive mindset which that dogma has so frequently spawned over the centuries.
Thugs like Osama bin Laden or Saddam Hussein, and our on-again-off-again alliances with such vermin, are merely singular episodes in a much broader Islamic Re-Awakening and Re-Militarization and potential future conflict on a catastrophic scale.
...We keep provoking coups and dictators over there who turn on us or so antagonize their people they become enemies...
Playing-off one side against the other is the best way of keeping those barbarians outside the gates.
...And of course, we cap it all off by supporting Israel, which is like slapping a giant dick in their faces...
Phukk 'em... they will not be allowed to dictate to us, whom we may befriend, and whom we may consider allies, and whom we may not.
The best way to reinforce that position is to continue a strong support for Israel... no caving-in... no appeasement... no submission... zero.
...Then we act all surprised when they turn on us? Really? Really?
True.
Only the most naive and gullible amongst us should be surprised when various elements of Islam turn upon us (The West, in general, and the US, in particular).
After centuries of degeneracy, and further centuries of submission to European Imperialism, most of the regions within the domains of Islam are just now - within Living Memory - coming out from under the EuroTrash heel. Islam is re-awakening, finding itself centuries behind The West, and it's pissed, and rapidly re-arming, and returning to its old, historically familiar aggressive ways, directed against those peoples and regions that do not believe and think the same way they do.
Those who understand history, and who can look at the macro-level picture, will not be surprised in the slightest, any nearly any outrage committed by these savages.
