None of which is an excuse for the fundamentalist violence. These people are getting their violent ideas from their religion, period.
This is completely wrong, the imperialist wars played a huge part on damaging the Islamic psyche, which is why they turned to harsher forms of Islamism.
The Palestinians, the Iraq wars, the Iraq sanctions, the Iran-Iraq war, the Iranian revolution, Afghanistan, Syrian and Yemen civil war, all were affected directly or indirectly by American imperialism. Many countries were destroyed, social services destroyed, infrastructures gone, so the mosques stepped in with rhetoric.
You cannot ignore foreign policy in the context of religious extremism.
