Iraq never was a legit country to begin with. It was more an invention of British imperialism. Founded as we split the Middle East with France after the first world war. We gave that, Jordan (transjordan back then) and Arabia a monarch out of thin air and due to constant interference by us and later on other countries, these places have either became backward dictatorships or like Iraq now became constantly unstable.
The lack of stability in Iraq since the war from 2003 has allowed groups like ISIL to rise. Groups that would of been either repressed or simply unpopular if the ruling government was popular and successful. It really is sad that in this day and age we have such scummy people who claim to represent their religion but only end up destroying everyone and everything around them.
I really hope the local and sane people in places like Mosul kick these people back to the stone age where they belong. Any minority or even Sunni Muslim is fucked if ISIL gain total control.
Either way Iraq will cease to exist soon enough I think. Especially if Kurds get their way and can establish there own country.
Also, I wish people in general could stop using ISIL and other extremist groups as a way to spread islamophobia as surely most Muslims aren't like this. Just as I don't think it's acceptable to use the actions of Israel as an excuse for antisemitism. It's just wrong.
Anyway, it's best to stay out of it before the west makes it even worse somehow.
