Consider that since the invasion of Iraq by the USA in 2003 to topple Saddam Hussein, there have been nearly 150,000 civilian casualties.

If you had an invading, occupying force, through collateral damage, kill that many people in your homeland, how much hatred would get stirred up in your heart?
Factor in then, all the ideological differences, especially religious differences, and you have a group of people that feel no moral compunction at all in killing their enemies.
Is it justified? Not at all. But is it understandable? Through their p.o.v., I think yes, very much so. |
Bro...ISIS are not Iraqi. Most of ISIS are foreign fighters. They started off fighting in Syria and their goal is to form a Caliphate, not to get revenge for all those civilian deaths. What does killing other Iraqis have to do with it anyways?
A LOT of civilian deaths are by other Muslims
If you click the link and go to the first page it lists deaths without attributing them to anyone.
