No abaris, the issue is that there is no other part. The theory goes, that certain Super-Powers needed an enemy to act in its newest play; Muslims were the pick.
The list included the 'Japs=Japanese' but they were too educated and too united to act, then the 'Chings=Chinese' but again they were too united and too organised and saw through the west because they were once the fools (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_Wars),the 'commies=communists' were a super-power themselves so they rejected the act.
So whose left, but the desert rats? They don't even have a country, and half of them is ruled -as I said- by western made regimes. And the world would buy the religious narritive in the play, because the world is too ignorant -Heck; its your is busy thinking about Brangelina; Brad and Angelina's divorce -_- -.
They will buy the 'ISIS mumbo-jumbo like the OP'.
And like many other educated indaviduals.
They played this game a lot -since the first days of imperialism-, so they know how to play.
My point -abaris-, is that there is no other player. They play cards with themselves. That's why they win.
