This is some masterful trolling, on par with Donald Trump! What a legend! Followed.

The mainstream media in the west and ivory tower academics always try to divide foreign policy into men wearing white and black hats. Let's put it this way every single arab muslim sunni could be playing for one side or the other from one day to the next depending on the political and social climate.

The idea of conviction, morality, and principles are culturally entirely different in that region. Trying to look at things in black/white is what led to training up mujahadeen and lionizing men like Bin Laden only for them to turn on the U.S. later. It's the same shit over and over again.

You look at that region like you're dealing with people from the medieval era because that's exactly what they are. That's why when people start singing praises of various muslim figures it's always a laugh. What is their background? What is their specific culture? What is their worldview? What is their agenda and the specific actions they have taken to fulfill goals to mark that agenda?

Examine those things with specificity and you start to get a clearer view of who these people really are.
