How far should USA be blamed for the current rift between Islam and the Western world ?

Answer 1

I dunno propping up the Shaw of Iran's brutal regime when the people did not want him probably didn't help. Installing and assisting the butcher Saddam Hussein was also not cool.
The problem is that we only support democracy when BUSINESS can PROFIT from it. When the people of another SOVREIGN nation (or America for that matter) choose things that "our" companies do not like, democracy tends to not matter.
But the rift isn't really between "islam" and "the west".
It's fundamentalism and progress. Some people are scared of change, just look at the christians. Some of them are enlightened (sort of) and tolerant and some are raving fundamentalist wackos.

Answer 2

The U.S. along with a few other western nations intensified the rift. However, the rift has already been there for centuries and the evolution of certain islamic beliefs among certain groups also plays a role in the rift.

Answer 3

The rift has always existed. The West failed, until recently, to understand that Islam has always hated the west. The US is at war with Islamo-Fascists world wide. The US should understand by now that they do not want peace and it does not matter what the US does, they want to kill Americans and destroy anything American.

Its conveniently expedient for Bush haters to blame anything that happens on him no matter the reality of the situation, just look at beachdumbs answer.

Answer 4

sure, it could have been particularly distinctive. mutually because it replace into the Catholic Church that backed the Crusades and not person-friendly human beings, the Church replace into with the aid of a techniques the main influential group in Europe. everyone replace into Catholic, so it could have been person-friendly for a non-eu non-Catholic to place the blame onto everyone of Western custom. i don't understand that a rift replace into inevitable. i individually don't think that something in background is inevitable. With each circulate, each conflict, each truce, there's a call in touch. There are too many examples of human beings who circulate against what others could have concept and altered background. The Crusades brought about irreparable harm and a important shift in thinking. various different subjects have genuinely cropped up because then and who knows of in the event that they could have got here approximately without the Crusades interior the 1st place. The harm that the two facets do to a minimum of one yet another has been catastrophic. From a in user-friendly terms theological point of view, it does not make experience for the chasm to be as massive because it is. the binds of monotheism are plenty improved than the rest. All 3 religions seem to Abraham as their father... i think of that throughout itself is indicative of the concept no longer something with those 3 religions replace into or ever would be inevitable.

Answer 5

are u all really that stupid to believe that events like 911 are part of a holy war. u really think that muslims hate the west because of religion? how could that be and u have so many muslims living peacefuly and happily in western countries. it is not religious extremism either. terrorism does not have a religion.

FYI muslims do NOT care about the western way of life or their religion or freedom or all that s##t ur media is feeding u.

there is no rift between islam and the west. there is a rift between arabs and the US. it is all political NOT religious. the rift is because of the biase US support for israel and its unjust actions and wars like iraq and others. how do u expect arabs or the world to like the US when they are targeted by occupation and unjust wars?

Answer 6

Well, America did opt to reconginize, arm and fund Israel upon its inception. In addition, it fostered ties with many governments that are loathed by the populace. Furthermore, its oil companies has been "exploiting" the region's natural resources without enriching the average Yosuf.

Had America not undertaken these steps, the Middle East might've been some jolly underdeveloped desert that could've lived happilly by resting on its laurels of past acheivements. Instead, we've ticked the region off and allowed extremism to flourish as a result of our actions.

Answer 7

Toooooo farrrr
the real problem btw the west and the MUSLIMS,is israel
the west planted a strange body in the midle of the ISLAMIC nation,on MUSLIMS land,and expected the MUSLIMS to except this unfair situation with no complain!!!
Of course MUSLIMS have the right to not welcome those zionist invaders in our land,
why does israel have to be built on ISLAMIC land?why dont they go and build their terrorist state in the usa or europe???
usa is supporting a terrorist state & supporting its brutality against us,and thats the real reason for all problems in the middle east,and the problems will remain untill israel is gone from palestine,
Only then,the world will have peace

Answer 8

For sure USA is to blame, everything that happens is well planned by USA, they have a plan for the next 100 years at least for every country, if they want to hurt a country they do it, and if they want to keep it well and safe they protect it, USA is playing chess with every country strong or weak

Answer 9

Oh geez I'd say 90%. Why? Because before Bush, the evangelical, decided to ignore the UN, it was just Al Queda. Now, it is practically all of Islam against the West.

Answer 10

You are missing the point. The criminal Islam-O-Fascist are the ones that are responsible. We are not the problem we are the solution.

If it wasn't the United States and Israel standing in their way, some other country would stand up to prevent them from spreading their hatred.
