Hello to all exmuslims

Not in the sense of willingly and purposefully deciding to create this group, but their judgement and decisions leading to it. Who they supported, who they funded, where that support and money and weapons ended up, etc. For example, USA supports Saudi who supports and propagates the ideology that breeds islamic terrorists. USA supports violent rebels who eat peoples hearts on camera to overthrow Assad which creates the window for islamic state to form. Things like that.
Another example would be your own creation turning against you. During the cold war, when Russia was invading Afghanistan, the US directly had a hand in supporting what today we call jihadist groups who would be useful to the US in fighting Russia and frustrating Russian planes. For instance US plans dropped leaflets and reading material complete with scriptural verses from the skies saying it was their duty as muslims to fight the kafir, fight the invaders. Then the cold war ended and the Middle East was left with these militant groups the US had decided to support the formation of. This Frankenstein monster inevitably soon turned on America as they saw, as the US had wanted them to with Russia, foreign powers interfering. and soon military bases on what they consider holy land. So what did they do? What they'd been taught/radicalised to do by, in large part, the US who apparently hadn't thought what to do about these groups they'd encouraged the formation of after they'd fought the soviets.
`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'
