I don't think there is anything to be gained by pretending our enemies are monolithic. They are our enemies because they are authoritarian thugs who want to rule the country based on their religion. Not because of any specific attribute that means blame should be projected to all people sharing that attribute. Hate can actually build a surprisingly broad coalition. The only way we win is by building a bigger one.
