MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry: The Rise of ISIS Is the Fault of Post-WWI Europeans
‘We go back and talk about an Ottoman Empire as though it was about Islam’
MSNBC Host Melissa Harris-Perry Blames ISIS Atrocities On People Thousands of Miles Away (Independent Journal Review)
MSNBC host Melissa Harry-Perry has an interesting theory about why ISIS was able to rise to power and become the barbaric organization we see today: it’s the fault of post-WWI Europeans.
Moreover, Harris-Perry says ISIS has “lured us” into a conversation about “religious identity” instead of (correctly) one about “geopolitical strategy.”
As a consequence, she says:
“We talk about the “Ottoman Empire” instead of what happened in a “post-WWI world where peoples were divided by [white] European nations in a way that makes them difficult to govern and so authoritarianism emerges…”
Or something.
