Ultimately it goes back to the establishment of Israel after WW2 which kicked off the conflict and it has been an ongoing problem ever since.

But certainly America and its Allies throwing fuel on the fire has made it many times worse.

Sorry, but Israel had nothing to do with the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood, which really began the modern Islamist ideology, and was founded even before Israel existed. Israel had nothing to do with the rise Khomeini in Iran, which was a Shi-ite counterpart of the Brotherhood, and came to power because of anger at the Shah. And Israel had nothing to do with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Mujahedeen, or the rise of the Taliban and al-Qaeda.

You can make a good case that Israel is partly at fault for the rise of Hamas and Hezbollah, but that's about it.

Ultimately it goes back to the beginning of the 7th century when an illiterate merchant decided to turn his hand to starting a cult of murder, rape, pillage and conquest in the name of religion ... on the basis of plagiarizing Christianity and Judaism.

The problems Islam has, has had and will always have come directly from itself. No one else can be blamed for its backward nature and it's inability to become compatible with modern humanity. It's locked into the century it began.

Adding to this, you have a lot of Muslim countries that are complete crapholes where the leadership has successfully used the tactic of blaming all their woes on Israel, the US and western nations in general. This helps them maintain power and keeps their people from recognizing who is truly screwing them over. And of course it doesn't help that we have legions of far left westerners who are so consumed by third world guilt that they also buy into this mentality and rarely hold Muslims accountable for anything.

They're probably blaming their woes on the US and the West because they've been propping up these despotic regimes for a long time.

If we do business with them they bitch that we're propping up a despotic regime.
If we sanction them then they bitch that we're destroying their economy.

Some people can always come up with a gripe in order to blame their problems elsewhere. Especially when they have guilt-ridden white westerners who encourage that and don't want to hold Muslims responsible for anything.

I personally am not a guilt ridden white westener as the problem with most middle eastern Muslim countries stems from the fact that their economies are based on one thing only and they lack political freedom.
