It is really a dreadful situation, and my sympathy is with the people of Greece.

Blame Hillary, Obama and all the leftists in the US State Department. State has been a bastion of creepy leftism and pro-Islamic sentiments for decades

“All part of Obama’s Arab Spring”.

Correct.

And most of the stupid Europeans won’t acknowledge that fact.
