What did the West do to provoke Islamic hostility?
Nothing much…
lets name a few highlights.
- 1953, the american CIA organizes, funds and supports a Coup in Iran. This leads to…well, to modern Iran, via several decades of nastyness.

- Just to make sure that Iran remains suitably aggressive, the uss Vincennes shoots down a civilian passenger airliner. In Iranian airspace. And then USA rewards the captain of the ship with a Legion of Merit Medal “for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding service as commanding officer” for this.
Wouldn’t that be considered a reason for Iran to hate the USA?
