It may also be the fact the "fellow Muslims" are not a homogenous mass, but a bunch of countries, and Muslim sects within those countries, who hate each other - Saudis vs Iran in a proxy war in Yemen, Iraq and Iran at each other's throats (even though Iran are trying to take over Iraq by stealth), Libya ruled by various battling warlords, Turkey fighting the Syrians, Kurds, & Iranians, and Sunnis and Shi'ites (mostly funded by Iran) in most of the Middle East countries hate each other...
Interesting book review in the Times a couple of months ago (the Syria references are out of date now).

From 1945–2008, the region’s civil wars attracted on average just over two outside countries. From 2008, they have drawn in an average of more than six.
