The is above should be replaced with was. While what you're saying is certainly correct, it is also ancient history.

What changed? Western meddling in the region that displaced many and drew borders without true consideration of the people of the region. This doesn't mean there isn't just some straight up Jew-hating in the mix, but I think that your viewpoint on this is a gross oversimplification.

Sorry, I'm not willing to erase all the sins of modern day Islam with the panacea of "Western meddling." However we got here, we're here. Islam has a serious rot at its core right now and, for some reason, many people are afraid to flat out acknowledge that. Of course that doesn't mean every Muslim is a radical, far from it. But, Islam is going to have to come to terms with why the religion is so easily, and regularly, turned towards radical purposes in today's rather more enlightened than the Crusades age. If their radical elements feel comfortable chanting death to a secular country they reside in, one can only imagine what they are comfortable with in a country in which their religion holds sway. Actually, one needn't imagine, you must only look to Iran and Afghanistan for current examples.

Yea, they were killing each other long before we were even a nation
