Why has it gotten WORSE since/despite US/NATO/Coalition longterm involvement in the area?!
The persecution and intolerance of religious minorities has been going on the Muslim world for decades. It's not new. There used to be thriving Jewish populations all over the Middle East. It's not just Christians, Hindus etc. The hatred between different Muslim denominations e.g. Sunni and Shia is where the current violence is directed. Anyone in the way is just a sideshow and someone else to brutalise.
In 50 years the Muslim world will be nice and tidy. Countries with no difference, but with conflict along the edges. All the rich cultural history abolished and forgotten. Very sad.
So WHY are we not saving the minorities? Just them specifically?
