The whole world has an interest in the oil economy. The most powerful of nations funnel a great deal of money into the region. Countries like the U.S. have used this oil money to set up pro-American/British regimes; other countries like China and Russia have done the same. These regime leaders (like the rulers of Saudi Arabia) are greatly rewarded for doing the bidding of the West, but they are not serving their own people equally. All over the region puppet leaders are favoring their trading partners over their own citizens. In turn this has produced civil unrest; the people are not receiving the riches that their own land should give them and instead the riches go to countries in the west and far east. Civil unrest turns in on itself. Those who can strike out at the West, Israel,or Russia do when they can, but more often then not neighbor turns on neighbor, Arab on Kurd, Sunni on Shite, and Jew on Persian. This is not a war of religion, or animosity, this is a war of something more basic; it is a war of oil, and weapons. Our troops fight to keep the weapon dealers rich and the oil companies happy.

Seems to be that no matter what sect of Islam is reigning - some other sect isn't happy.
For a religion of peace they don't seem to like anyone that has an iota of a differing opinions

It is because there are those who want to dictate to the world. Even their fellow Muslims are subject to their wrath. Just like hitler these muslims (notice what is and isn't capped) want to rule the world with a totalitarian approach. Unless they are defeated (as hitler was) they will continue to be a threat.
