To be fair it would be interesting to see where all this Islamic Terrorism really stems from, because it wasn't much of a problem until recently in terms of modern times.
You've always had some sort of animosity between Muslims and non-Muslims throughout history but specifically anti-Western terrorist sentiments only came up kinda recently.
In terms of who's to blame, well I think the core reasons of Islamic Terrorism stems from mainly US/UK and USSR involvements. Whether it's for Oil, or religious reasons (supporting Israel, although even then, the support of Israel can probably trace its roots to Oil as people want an Ally in an Oil rich region)
You have to think, where did all the hate start from? It all didn't start because they hate your freedom and want to establish Sharia around the world, that wouldn't make much sense shit doesn't work just like that, not in any big sense.
It'd be interesting to see who really is to blame for the rise of Islamic extremism. It's gotta be a mixture of Israel and Oil which are the big reasons. Infact if the ME had no oil I bet Israel wouldn't find itself much support from most Western countries. So that whole equation would be taken out of the picture.
I wonder if people have ever sat down and thought why they think specifically the US is a big devil and shit like that.

Although a big other part is also from Soviet involvement in Afghanistan (why the hell did they invade anyway, probably just typical Soviet expansionism)
