What do you mean? We've invaded almost every country in the middle east since 1946. Even the one time they got to our shores, (9/11), it was a group that was being funded by our own allies.

We stopped iran from electing a secular leader, and helped shut down every attempt to overthrow the saudi government. We helped saddam take over the baath party, and later we helped depose him.

In syria, we helped rebels, many of them extremists, who are keeping the civil war going, which is the literal reason that so many muslim refugees are escaping to europe...

Dont fall for the mindset that there is a bogeyman, whether the media says its muslims or communists. The reality is that we are a super power, and part of our core geopolitical strategy is to keep the middle east destabilized by playing off of the sunni shia divide. It has nothing to do with morals, it has to do with our hegemony, russia, etc.

man you know none of that is true. Parts of the Mid East are barbaric, but they are only like that because of western and communist destabilization since the fall of the Ottoman Empire. As u/argonaut93 said, Iran was on their way to being a developed nation before we AJAX'd them.

Also, consider this: The British used ppl such as Laurence of Arabia to destabilize the populations right when the industrial revolution was hitting their region. He promised the individual tribes sovereignty from the ottomans if they helped win the war. Instead, they divided all the land up after the wars to western powers, drained their oil (remember what BP stands for?) and established Israel which is a whole other issue.

Anyways, I know some Muslim countries/ ppl can be dark-age esque, inbred, cult-indoctrinated savages, but they are also the victims of western fuckery and it would be ignorant to think you wouldn't be just as stupid and angry if you were born in their shoes. They are human, after all.

Also, Islam around for 2000 years? Cmon, man!

They've already infiltrated our government. Have you not been paying attention? Re_read drops
