It's on the same lines. Both sides have to appeal to the most primitive aspects of our nature. Fear, the belief in conspiracies and resentment. And both sides really have nothing to offer besides that.
I do pose the same question to majorities in the West, knowing that it was nothing but conspiracies managed to strip Palestine -for example- and create a home to the Jews out of thin air.
The western majorities -only those that vote and accept they are in control- do indeed need to answer such question.
Iraq for example, was invaded due to a conspiracy -WMDs-, all the troops involved in the invasion were fooled -fooled is a polite word..the original idea states that they were a part; hence the word conspiracy-.
Not answering such question, open the door to many other questions; leaving the Muslim and Arab masses confused and actually asking the type of questions, that lead to ISIS and to terrorism. For example, the U.S was advised so many times, to cut and stop conspiracies to defeat ISIS and extremism in general, instead of the blood bath we see in Syria.
Muslim people are on the defensive. This is how it was since Sykes-Picot; there is no Ottoman Empire anymore. All there is now is wastelands led by western-western/Russian supported regimes, and these don't represent us, and indeed are not in a position to answer questions, asked by atomic super-powers, that -above all- came invading, and supporting some of the worst and most brutal regimes the Middle East have ever saw.
