It won't look anything like what we might think of as a "win" but in their eyes, this will be a centuries long "victory" they've been salivating for since, well, forever.

They'll take down a whole bunch of other religious and cultural minorities as well - even better in their eyes.

Our part in this debacle is disgusting.
