If I Were an ISIS Recruiter
If I were an ISIS recruiter — I’d tell everyone in Iraq and Syria that the U.S. government is the enemy of Islam everywhere in the world, and has bombed Muslim countries and interfered in Islamic governments everywhere they exist.
I’d point out that the U.S. government is bombing Muslims in Yemen and drone-killing Muslims in Pakistan. I'd tell them that U.S. commandos have killed Muslims in Somalia, and that the U.S. government is is bombing and drone-killing Muslims in Syria. I’d underscore that none of these four countries had ever attacked the United States, or American citizens, before the U.S. government began its attacks.
I’d allude to the fact that the U.S. government has also bombed Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq and interfered in their policies for three decades, including some 15 years before the September 11 attacks.
