People really seem to struggle to realise how different they are. Hamas is not ISIS, that should be obvious to anyone with cursory knowledge on the history of the region. Hamas, Hezbollah and Ansar’Allah are not going to, nor have the capacity to, gut gay people and women who don’t wear a niqab or hijab. They are not Salafists, for the love of Christ.
The only reason people compare these wildly different groups, is because they all (at least claim to) adhere to Islamic principles. If you think for even a second, you’d realise how ridiculous this is. It’s like comparing the CDU to the KKK or even the Spanish Falange because they’re all Christian, in some way or another.
It’s plain ridiculous, though the liberal (and conservative) types never seem to get it.
counterpoint: white Americans lump these groups together because of chauvinism and white supremacy
when Arabs have wars it`s because of their religions.
When whites have 2 world wars, well that just nationalism
When white people have wars it’s just the beautiful tragedy of human nature or something
or that we need to understand their reasoning before condemning
