Iran hates the West because its not Islamic. However, it wouldnt matter if it were. Look at Iraq, which is mostly Islamic. Several factions in that country hate each other because they are not the "right" kind of Muslims. I think that the US would strongly support the Kurds were it not for the fact that they want to break away from Turkey too, which Turkey, a NATO ally, doesnt want.?
You sound exactly like Michelle Bachman, mr self proclaimed Muslim expert, so let me tell u what I told her: Irans hatred of the USA is not based on the disposition that they are a mass of radical Islamist thinkers who want to kill every Christian they see on theological grounds. This is very misguided. If you study history, you see a pattern of anti American sentiment in every country the USA has staged a coup in, such as El Salvador, Ecuador, Guatemala, among others.
Now on your point of Iraq, you sound like Americans who say "oh no the Europeans didnt mess up the Middle East they were already fighting a thousand years ago"
Ding ding ding sorry incorrect answer. Muslim religious difference is a false cover for conflict Europe and the US Has caused in the Middle East. Different Muslim sects have been untied under empires like the ottoman and Abbasid and Umayyad empire, however, the Europeans make the Middle East their play ground with the Balfour partitions, terrorist sponsoring and other mindless acts. Of course, this did work for the political agenda we had in mind, but we have placed total neglect on the Middle Easterners.
