Friendly reminder that the primary distinction between groups in that region is whether you have a nation state already, or merely aspire to have one.
We demonize the people that merely aspire to have one, and their practices like the beheadings. It is useful to acknowledge that they are the same practices of the ones that achieve sovereign immunity. It usually comes down to the underlining belief system, as they overlap with a nearby sovereign party. Western media isn't that discerning, but it could be.
