That's how they justify recruitment to a lot of their members, but Western intervention in the Middle East (particularly in favour of Israel) is one of the major causes for Muslim backlash against us.

The reason we have Islamic terrorism is American intervention and decades of subjugation. It's mainly the West's fault anyway. We provoked them to it and now we want to bomb them into oblivion? I'd be fucking pissed too. Shit like this only creates more terrorists.
