This guy really internalizes the officail Saudi sectarian line about ISIS and its origins

"It’s very hard for Sunnis to say, today, ‘Let’s go and fight ISIS militarily,’ when you also have, let’s say, the Assad regime killing hundreds of thousands of Sunni Muslims, or Iran and its forces in Iraq and Syria and Lebanon also attacking Sunnis at the same time. In a world where a lot of people are attacking Sunnis, it’s hard for Sunnis to say ‘ISIS is the only bad group.’”"  So in other words, fighters of ISIS would have been secular leftists if it was not for Maliki and Hizbullah.
