    Absolutely, but at the same time we can't ignore the historical involvement of the west in many of those issues. Syria is a prime example. The carving up of the Ottoman Empire led to France being given control of Syria and they actively encouraged the divisions between Sunni, Shia and Alawites as they felt it would divide any nationalism. Much of Syria's issues today revert back to that period of rule.

    Agreed 100% mate. Islam is a brutal and evil dogma which no modern democratic country should tolerate in my opinion. I have nothing against people who are spiritual but all organised religion is anachronistic and should be consigned to the dustbin of history along with the barbaric practices they promote.

    Yeah we should be allowed to invade, occupy and bomb the **** out of who we like without people getting all uptight about it. Who'd have thought this would happen? I mean its not as if those protesting about these wars warned against this sort of thing happening....

    There are a lot of people who take issue with foreign policy but they don’t go about butchering people in public, nor do they behead hostages, stone people to death or condemn others to death who don't share their warped ideologies. Like I said they murder their own people, many Muslims are killed by these extremists in their own country. Foreign policy is an excuse given when evil, hate and a barbaric mentality are the real reasons for these horrific events.

    As I said yesterday, you keep poking a lion and you'll get nipped now and again.
