Regarding ISIS:
If you aren't a Muslim and will not convert if extorted by threat of death then you should be concerned.
If you are a woman, you should be concerned.
If you are gay, you should be concerned.
If you speak your mind to express an unpopular opinion, you should be concerned.
If you eat bacon, hot dogs, BBQ, etc., you should be concerned.
If you drink beer, you should be concerned.
If you are an American, you should be concerned.
It's not our foreign policy, it's our culture of tolerance.
Or do you not get that?
Wait, our culture of tolerance has allowed ISIS to develop into the next AQ like threat? So they were able to build a mosque/secret training facility in the US and then transported all of their weapons and fighters to the "levant" in order to form their caliphate. They must have, because that would be the only way I can see our culture contributing to their development.
More than likely, it was out lack of a solid SOFA agreement with the Iraqis and any sort of mutual defense treaty that provided the right circumstances for them to develop.
And of course the weapons shipments from Benghazi to Syria that gave them the means of achieving their goals.
Still not sure where our culture of tolerance (whatever that is) comes into play.
