I just heard this audio played by Ben Shapiro on his radio show. He is a Harvard grad, and said that this was the idea that America is a threat to world peace and to the world in general is a common article of faith around Harvard U.
The guy in the hat actually does have a point, and that is that while America may not be evil, American actions to at times destabilize regions and lead to conflict that we later have to come back and address.
American actions based on American interests helped ISIS to blossom...same as they originally helped Saddam and Bin Laden blossom before having to turn against them.
We're the ones who needlessly invaded Iraq on false pretenses, blew up the power structure in the whole place, implemented some shaky puppet government, and left hoping for the best. That's what created the power vaccuum that allowed a group like ISIS to take advantage in the first place.
ISIS is more evil than America, but without the help of American actions, these guys would not be as big a threat as they are today.

Yup. They also asked about WORLD peace. ISIS is a regional issue and we are on every continent. We can blow up the world many times over -- ISIS cannot.

The list of the top world conflicts reads like a who's who of Islam.
What were the 'false pretenses' under which we invaded Iraq? There were none. How many times do I have to post this? Get it through your head: there were no lies about WMD. http://www.city-data.com/forum/polit...ll-should.html
It's Harvard or Yale or Princeton or whatever in liberalville. What did you expect?
