    The existence of Israel is part of what causes that intolerance within majority Muslim countries. Israel, through its own racist apartheid and colonialism, has inflamed resentments in the region against non-Muslim peoples.

    But Israel doesn’t deserve all the blame! The other cause is the US actively propping up other repressive regimes in the region, as well as murdering so many people’s families that they see no choice but to take up arms against the Great Satan.

    The only way to believe that Islam is some kind of uniquely backwards and primitive religion is through racism. This situation is a product of recent history.
