This POV tends to blame everything on Western interference in the ME. It hopes to validate the position by suggesting that even the terrorist threat is a game instigated by the West.
The same people believe that millions of ordinary people are like sheep (sheeple is a term commonly used), blindly believing what the authorities and media tell them.
A POV for which there is ample circumstantial evidence and one I agree with completely. However, people are not sheep. I don't think I have met many people who actually believe in the terrorist threat (some, but no many). People are just apathetic (me included). We have comfy lives, it is rational behaviour to just shrug our shoulders say "yeah, whatever" and change channel.
