That does not explain these acts. That is not a sequence of events that even makes sense. They do this because they are beyond warped.
Saying the US aided the rise of ISIS is right. Not arguing there. But that is not what warped these people.
It certainly isn't black and white, and I not one for seeing things from a west-centric point of view generally, but I also don't buy into this 1+1 = 10000000000 stuff, ie Evil West + Normal Muslims = murderous butchering Muslims. No. These guys would be evil no matter what injustices they have perceived.
Some people need reminding that the West are not always the do gooder good guys, but equally others need to remember that Muslims are not always the innocent victims simply resisting oppression.
