Yes, this is all true (especially who is what gods
).
I think that how this really needs to be seen as is the stone that broke the camel's back. From my (poor) american perspective, the entire middle east has been on fire for the last four decades -or longer- and I think that the feeling there could finally just be a substantial population who "just can't take it any longer."
Now, don't get me wrong, I am not trying to condone what is happening, I am just pointing out that there are reasons. Sometimes you just don't want to think about it, just do it.
