When you have spent a good part of your life living in the Middle East as I have you begin to understand

that they are going to heaven and will receive 72 virgins there for their pleasure --- if they can force conversion to their
twisted version of Islam in just one non-muslim. So, wipe them out as much as you can ... or they will wipe you out!
Having secured Syria and Iraq, (if we do nothing) they will move on to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and the oil riches
