As for the reasons, colonialism is really the reason for all of it, but people don't like to hear that. Salafism/Wahabism was founded as a response to western colonialism, the creation of Israel was a result of western colonialism, the terrible rulers made their bones decrying, you guessed it, western colonialism.
Nobody wants to hear it, but Europe and later the US can have a direct line drawn to them from every cause of Islamic extremism.
I am pretty much in agreement with this. There are no single causes, but colonialism, the founding of Israel, and regime change work together to produce the conditions conducive to Salafism.
