We toppled a secular muslim leader, in Saddam Hussein.
I think we support ISIS in our actions. It's not a question of whether we should support them; we already do.
Or maybe, just maybe, "we" don't really control what our elected governments get up to.
It is believed the officer corp aka the brains of ISIS is made up of former Saddam loyalists and Republican Guards. Saddam might have projected the image of a secular regime but the power hub of that regime was almost exclusively Sunni Muslim. There were a few token minorities such as Tarik Aziz , but even he changed his name to fit in. Saddam wasn't adverse to playing the Islam card when it suited his ends.
