It was interesting to read about how the middle east was attempting to copy the ideals of the West and how they failed miserably. I am curious as to why the countries of the middle east were not able to use the same ideals that have flourished in places like Britain and the US. I feel that the complete failure in installing the western ideals in these countries is why there is such a strong hatred towards the West in this area. If the countries would have been more successful they obviously would be a lot friendlier towards the west. The start of this hatred began in 1928 with the Muslim Brotherhood. This is where a lot of terrorist groups can originally be tied to.
I believe that after the failure of the Middle East to copy western ideals shows that not every country can use the same system as a template. Each country has to be able to find its own way to success. The Middle East attempted this with the islamic renewal and by re-adopting many of the islamic ideals that had disappeared during this time. I believe that the Middle East has lost its way as many countries have become hostile and radicalized.
I do not see the Middle East's hatred towards the US or the west ending anytime soon. I believe that the reason for this is that we fundamentally don't match. I am appalled that there are still some places in the Middle East that do not allow women to be educated, drive, or even wear normal clothing.
