Like the late and unlamented Shah Pah'lavi, Saddam al-Tikriti, Hosni Mubarak, al-Qa'eda and the Taliban, the Da'esh (blasphemously styling themselves "ISIS" or "ISIL") are doing PRECISELY what they were hired to do by the US: destabilize the region by murdering Muslims.  Frankenstein's monster is a reflection of its creator.  It's creator is not God, Who in His Mercy gave life to the raw material, only to see it usurped and deformed into into a corrupt mockery of life.  Now the imperialists have unleashed the monster and thousands like it to wreak havoc in western, central and south-Asia and north, east and all of sub-Saharan Africa.  The US isn't a 'beacon to the world'--it's a plague upon it.
