Extremists and normal civilians are two different kinds of groups, I hope we agree. These are two separate issues, there's no contradiction.
It is light years far from being a fact, it is your personal opinion that lacks any kind of proof. The fact is that Marines will do anything they are told, because blind obedience is in their code of honour, that's how they are trained. If they are told, that evil men funded and staffed by terrorist organizations are willing to overthrow the federal government and establish a Muslim Republic, they won't hesitate shooting their own compatriots.
Presuming the state is intentionally acting against the interests of the people, moreover wants to oppress them. Why would you presume that?
