because their countries have been ravaged to shit by the israel-run west, and thus the population doesnt have the prosperity to do anything other than fight and survive.
Go look up Arab countries before the west meddled with them. No hijabs in sight, and looking like they were well on their way to joining the west economically. The current form of extremist Islamism is a cia plot to keep them stunted and poor. You dopes are falling for it.
I don't know why you're being downvoted lul, you can literally Google pics of pre-islam Iran and it almost looks like a generic American state/country but with brown people instead of white
It's BS. First of all, "pre-Islam Iran" was 13 centuries ago, so you definitely don't have pictures of that. You mean "pre-Islamic Revolution Iran". And like most such pictures in Islamic countries, they're taken at universities in the wealthiest district of the wealthiest city, and then simply assume that this is applicable to the entire country.
There's certainly been a religious revival in Islam. But the causes and consequences are rather complicated, not "Israel bad" or whatever.
Just to be clear: all the Westerners who went to the Middle East to murder Christians and Yezidis who had been living there for millennia, were doing that because "the Israel-run West" destroyed Belgium, Germany and England?
For that matter, if it is the supposed destruction of those countries that causes this, why are the native Christians not committing terrorist acts? Why are they not beheading their neighbors?
You know why.
The arrogance of ignorance. Someone sees a picture of a university campus in the richest district of the richest city, in a country that is 20% urbanized, and concludes that there were "no hijabs in sight" in the entire Arab world.
Truth is, the Arab world has always been very religious. Even when headscarves were less in vogue. And that's got nothing to do with your Jewish boogeyman.
Certainly Arab countries have always been religious. I never said otherwise. The current form of extremist Islam that is ruining these countries is a CIA fed subversion, and there's tons of proof of it, though im at work and cant find it now. The only reason the US gives a shit about the middle east to this degree is to benefit Israel. This is also undeniable, the vast majority of the original neocons were Jewish.
I think you have a case of 'first person' syndrome. Arabs have agency. Their beliefs are not a CIA plot, and anyway, this move started long before the CIA started paying attention to the Arab world anyway.
The governments in Arab countries cannot control religion - you think the CIA can? It's crazy.
Yeah, I'll look forward to you educating me about the Arab world.
You have 'tons of proof' for this as well?
The neocons were people who were leftists and then took a hardline stance in the Cold War. If they hadn't done that, you'd no doubt have said that they are Jewish subversives pushing communism.
