Firstly, I neither have blind hatred towards Islam/Muslims and neither am I blaming the Muslims entirely. However, I find your blaming the west/America for everything ridiculous and a function of your victim syndrome.

No, it’s just not America and the West, but also the Muslim despots who accept American and Western aid. It’s definitely a two-way street.

I am no expert, but I would suggest you read the book **Clash of Civilizations **by Harvard Prof. Samuel Huntington which offers possible reasons for the strife.

I read this book when I was 17 (ten years ago) and I have also read many articles since then debunking said outdated book, including watching lectures by Edward Said criticizing this book. Anything else?

Religion isn’t necessarily the end all and be all to everything. Geo-politics usually trumps religion in most cases. An example of this is Shia Iran’s support of Orthodox Christian Armenia against Shia Azerbaijan in the territorial dispute of Nagorno-Karabakh.
