Invading Iraq is no excuse for people blowing innocent teenagers to bits. However affronted Islamic people might have been about western govts actions most normal people don't take those govt actions and then perpetrate these murderous acts. It is extremist ideology that causes people to undertake these heinous acts of terror an innocent civilians.
If it were simply the Iraq war on the same basis why don't we have Argentinian terrorists blowing innocent people up.
Sick of liberals (SJW's) making excuses for these people. On that basis right wing terrorists now have an excuse to bomb Muslims to bits. There is absolutely no excuse for this terror, absolutely none.
Totally agree that there is no excuse for these attacks but I don't think GDM was making excuses for them. I could be guessing here, but I think when he talks of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, he's alluding to the hornets nest that was stirred up in the wake of the removal of Saddam Hussein and how that in turn allowed these extremist nutters to flourish in the ensuing power vacuum. Whatever we think of the likes of Saddam and Gaddafi, and they were barabaric twats for sure, they did keep a lid on this kind of thing. I can't imagine how a group such as ISIS would've been able to spring up quite so easily in an Iraq that was under Saddam's regime.
