I understand the point you are making, but think it is faulty on two fronts. First, blaming the victim is rarely the proper tact. Secondly, the historical reasons for Middle Eastern hatred toward America has more to do with the perceived de-humanizing of Palestinians than Muslims as a whole. Of course the West in general, and the US in particular, has pulled some other nonsense in the area that would allow a political party or a particular nation to feel aggrieved. But an entire global religion? One has to ask, however, why other nations who have felt similarly wronged have not felt the need to blow up innocent people? Also, there are many muslim nations the US has a good relationship with, yet much of their populace want to blow us up?
One thing I do find sadly hypocritical about the opposing viewpoint is that I would assume that most of the people in America who advocate destroying the entire religion, if they were members of that religion, would be waging jihad. To me, it's the same mindset.
The fact that the US continues to hold Saudi Arabia close despite the fact that their brand of religious ideology is behind a large portion of "radical" Islam shows that the real reasons for our wars and crimes in the Middle East aren't for the benefit of the American people but for the benefit a few, well-heeled, globalists.

I am not blaming trump for terrorism.
Trump is playing the game in dehuminizing Muslums which is the reason behind these terrorist acts.
Like South Africa apertheid it will remain as a thorn in the side of freedom until the worlds people unite to stamp out all forms of hatred.

Hows South Africa doing now? Seems Zuma is planning to take the white farmers land away from them without compensation. There's been around 4000 farmers murdered so far.

I was truly confused at the many replies. My apoligies to all.
