To be fair to the people arguing against this, I suspect they’re using a somewhat non-standard definition of “motivated by”.
You can tell a story about how the old generals of the Iraqi army were out of work and wanted to regain political power and used the banner of Islam as tool. Not because they are honest believers but because it was the best move to gain political power.
That story uses the standard definition of “motivated by” but I don’t think it’s a full representation of what happened.
