well that overlooks the those pesky things known as the Crusades and the Spanish Inqusition they still tend to cause some dislike between the Muslim world and the west. I will admit there are really three main causes of hatred as I see it today 1)Three religions all claiming the same lands as holy places 2)the worlds reliance on oil making the middle east more important than it would be if there was no oil there 3) long term history of violence between Arabs,Isrealis and Western Europe and the United States.
I dont really have any idea how to fix any of these unless the "western" world would suddenly discontinue using oil and instantly take away the importance of the region and returning it to simply regional importance

I dont think that the history of violence between Islam and the Christian world can be limited to the time frame you have here. I also doubt that if the country of Isreal ceased to exist that things would be better. There has been violence involving land in the middle east since mankind started, this is not something that only occured AFTER the creation of the Isreali state. There is no easy answer for the troubles in the Middle East nor are there any easy solutions for the troubles between Radical Islam and the US both of these issues are interconnected and will take as long to remody as they took to create.

actually when the troubles were more active in Ireland these acts were called terrorism and I can tell you none of them were Muslims. When there was an attack on the subway system in Japan it was refered to as a terrorist act (not by the Japanese however think it was a matter of keeping face there) It may be that most terrorist acts these days are being done by Islamic followers that you get the impression that the terrorism label is only used agasint them
