Learn some history.

The current holy war was going at a slow burn even during the
war against the Soviet Union.  Once the Soviet Union fell back,
any pretense of alliance was dropped, and the flames were in

These terrorists have been bugging various muslims they deem
insufficiently muslim long before they were bugging the west.
