Look at the emboldened part. That is an oxymoron. Here's why:I would agree that much of the world's problems are caused by Islam. More so than British or any European colonialism. If you look at most of the conflict in Africa, it is Christians vs Islam. Look at the ME, it is Jews vs Islam or Sunni vs Shia Islam, South Asia being Hindu vs Islam, and the GWOT is the Western world vs Wahhabi Islam. The militant nature of that religion just isn't compatible with the modern world. It either has to adapt or become irrelevant because the world just isn't going to put up with jihad anymore.
- Wahhabi Islam is championed by Saudi Arabia.
- Saudi Arabia is an ally of the US in particular and West in general.
- Fanatic, and often Wahhabi Islam is also championed by significant and powerful sections within Pakistan, including the government establishment, army and ISI.
- Pakistan is also a US ally.
- Many of the recent Western invasions has been on relatively liberal (from the religious point of view) Muslim countries, for example Iraq and Libya.
The real reason for all the conflicts is probably elsewhere.
