I do not buy into this propaganda, if it was true why did they attack a group which did not have anything to do with the Iraq war, no this is not the problem. If you said this evil bunch sought to rape women and capture them for the dumbass recruits to have, I would believe this. This makes for consumers of cognitive dissonance.
