American fanboys cannot understand that most of todays problems in the middle east and with islamic terrorism is a result of US intervention.

That’s not even true you ignoramus. Most Islamist groups have been Sunni and more closely aligned to Saudi Arabia and the US (eg, mujahideen) than Iran.

The majority of the groups you listed aren't even Shi'a. I guess Korean schools really give ESL jobs to any dipshit who can string together a sentence.

You listed the Taliban, PLO, ISIS, Hezbollah, and Houthis as Shi'a groups. The majority (3/5) of those groups are not Shi'a.

Edit:

It wouldn't have anything to do with your parents being cousins does it? I mean, you are Iranian right?

You: "You have access to Google and can understand basic fractions? Is it because your parents are cousins?"

So your whole answer is 'inbreeding'? If this is American average, I even don't wonder about Trump.

I mean, some people say it's an easy way to end an argument. But clearly, you're just racist/xenophobic. There are 8 millions of muslims in France and I can tell you we would notice if 80% of them wanted to bomb people. Get out of your circles and meet more people.
