Given all the harm that the USA and the UK in league with Israel have done all across that region in the last 60 years, harm that has been inflicted mostly on Muslim nations and Muslim populations, there has to be a simply enormous reservoir of rage ready to spill over at any time against the USA, UK, and Israel.

Is it any wonder that Muslims have reacted violently to this latest incident? Their reaction isn't helpful, needless to say, not in the least, but it's understandable, given their culture and the general political situation since the end of WWII.

The only thing that holds them down is the immense military superiority of the USA/UK/Israel who can slaughter whom they please, when they please, and rule the region by force or the threat of force. Every Muslim knows that. They live every day of their lives under the American-Israeli gun and the American-Israeli boot, and are enraged by their powerlessness.

They are not the primary perpetrators in this sorry historical drama. They are the primary victims of it.
