Or, ya know, you could read actual policists.

Of course they're related. Are you kidding me? That's the "claim" you thought was so crazy that it needed a citation?

Have you ever read anything? Anything at all? Did you think it was just a coincidence? hahahahaha

> Yeah, foreign invaders murdering people and occupying them made a lot of Islamic extremists. The US created an environment that pushed people to extremism.

Oh, sure. But the US didn't force people to either join a certain political party or have no voice. That's what Saddam did. For many years. So when they wanted to have a political voice but couldn't...where would they go? Well, they went to the mosque and fomented an apocalyptic revolutionary crusader mentality. Whoops!

> Still, I have not seen any argument of why a secular leader who cracks down on Islamic terrorism is responsible for creating Islamic terrorism.

Well, I just told you, several times now. You don't have to believe it, it really doesn't matter, does it?

> The fact of the matter is, Islamic extremism wasn't a big problem in Iraq during Saddam's times, despite how hard and how much money countries like Iran poured into Islamic extremist groups there.

Right, because he killed them.

> The evidence is completely contrary to your claim.

Actually all the evidence supports it. There's like hundreds of pages on it written up in fancy books. You simply saying "no" doesn't really counter any of that.
