It really is extremely biased to ignore absolutely everything and make such a ignorant statement
firstly by "role of Islam...." in current conflict i am sure you mean Arab countries that America is in war with and has declared war upon, or has been involved with on a war level
To be fair here, lets step back for a moment with this obsession with religion and blaming everything on it and lets answer this question based on human psychology
If some foreign person comes to your country, regardless of your religion and traditions and cultures, destroys your home, kills your family members, destroys your way of life and freedoms, and then later says "sorry you were collateral damage , we were actually going after the bad guy we had installed earlier that went all wrong and crazy... awry.."
what do you expect from the people? do you expect them to turn the other cheek for the millionth time and just forget the whole thing happened and pick up the scraps of their life(what is left of it) and now try to survive in even more difficult conditions with even more pressure and burden on their lives(now they have dead family members, no ability to get a job as the society they knew the infrastructure was destroyed , homes destroyed ..etc) and you think they will simply just get on with the lives and praise America for destroying their any motive to live any further ?
Or do you think that they might feel a little angry , have no reason to live, be absolutely miserable and angry, feel they want revenge...
Take a wild guess which one they went with?
Secondly now somebody pops up out of the rubble, he is as angry as you, he has lost his family also, and he begins to preach hate against America and the west, he starts (mis)quoting verses of the Quran and questionable Hadith, he inspires you to do what he wants to do, to get revenge, because well you have no reason to live anyway, everything you knew was destroyed and all you got for it was a sorry and your country left in rubble and hell
They might have even taken your resources, taken your lands oil and other resources and are now sending it back to their land
Geez i wonder how they feel? slightly irritated? no?
To the OP, if your going to look at this fairly, why dont you look at how many countries Muslims invaded without any provocation? Who started all the problems?
To say "i dont know why they are so angry at us, why they hate us so much.....it must be their religion that's causing these ill feelings etc" is just absolutely ignorant and unfair and obnoxious
If your going to be rational then be completely rational and not apply one side of rationally to one side, and another side of irrationality to the other side
