Simultaneously served US geopolitical interests while being so utterly heinous with their cartoonish reactionary bullshit that the average American associates it with all Muslims…who are more often fierce opponents of the US, Al Qaeda, and ISIS.

They can’t even pretend that they consider muslims anything besides bloodthirsty savages.
ISIS really earned their state dept checks.
