There are lots of Islamic extremists. Read:
Islamic Terrorism: Our Ally For 38 Years By Chris Kanthan

….. Islamic terrorists are wonderful instruments for proxy wars – they cost very little but fight fearlessly. They are a global resource that can be brought into any local conflict. They are also expendable – we use them when convenient and kill them when inconvenient.
If this shocks the conscience of people, it just means they haven’t been paying keen attention. Consider the following examples:
Thomas Friedman of The New York Times wrote that we shouldn’t attack ISIS in Syria 1; and we should even consider arming ISIS to overthrow Assad 2
John Kerry admitted, “U.S. tried to use ISIS to force Assad into negotiations.” 3
Israeli military chief explained, “Israel prefers ISIS to Assad” 4
Israeli defense minister recounted, “ISIS never intentionally attacks us; and when it happened once, ISIS apologized immediately.” 5 Hello!
Hillary Clinton wrote, “Saudi Arabia and Qatar fund and arm ISIS.” 6
Joe Biden, Gen. Martin Dempsey, Gen. Wesley Clark all have stated that US allies in the Middle East arm and fund Al Qaeda and ISIS. 7, 8, 9
Several State Department cables have clearly laid out how Saudi Arabia is the #1 source of funding for terrorism around the world – not just in the Middle East. 10
Ever wonder why we never go to war against or impose sanctions on these sponsors of terrorism? Heck we don’t even condemn them!
What goes through a reader’s mind when they see an article titled “Accepting Al Qaeda” 11 that is published by Council on Foreign Relations – the think tank behind US foreign policy? Or when Hillary Clinton’s chief foreign policy advisor wrote to her, “Al Qaeda is on our side”? 12
I can give many more such examples, but let’s hop on the time machine for a moment.
Afghanistan, 1979 – 1989. We used the Mujahideen to defeat the Soviet Union. ……..
