Agreed. Which means Western policy concerning the Middle East is of great

to 
carry out its genocidal programme going to de-radicalise Islam?

Agreed. Since 9/11 the citizens of the US and UK have happily allowed their 
rulers 

to infringe their rights already. These governments exercise their own brand of
terror.
