Take your time - but please, grieve unconditionally with those who have suffered.Sir I may not be able answer it in entirety but I will come back with a detailed answer but one thing I would like to say is that I am not dismissing the possibility that ISIS is involved rather I am more convinced about ISIS than anyone else. But I would say lets dissect what is ISIS, how did it get created, who is(are) supporting, and how come it still exists after months of bombings and airstrikes?
According to President Putin, 40 countries including G20 are supporting ISIS, I would say why?
There's an old adage, rule of etiquette (can't really remember which) that says something like, 'if you add a 'but' at the end of an apology, it isn't an apology'.
I'll paraphrase that to say, 'if you add a 'but' at the end of a condemnation, it isn't really a condemnation'.
Trying to latch onto trivial details and blowing them into conspiracy theories is a slap in the face of France and those who died, and degrading for those who identify themselves as Muslims.
I completely agree that the Saudis (more than any other country), UAE, Qatar, US,Turkey and Israel have directly and indirectly contributed to the rise of ISIS, but that does not mean they plotted the Paris attacks. In fact, look at the list of countries that played a significant role in ISIS's rise, and the main players are so called 'Islamic nations'.
The Saudis and GCC States were the ones screaming at the US to 'do more', to provide anti-aircraft and anti-armor missiles to rebel groups - the US resisted those demands, and the GCC States poured money into destabilizing Syria and Iraq regardless.
The Islamic world can't shirk responsibility here - doesn't matter how you look at it.
