Is American Meddling in Islamic world leading to another 9/11

Where does the similarity lay? In fact, 9/11 was not the corollary of just jihad in Afghanistan, ‎though it provided a fertile guide to young minds. Palestinian issue contributed a lot and it ‎added rather fuel to the fire that the United States not only supported the Israeli expansion to ‎Gaza, but also vetoed any resolution that came up or was presented in the UN General ‎Assembly or Security Council, leaving Muslims to lick their wounds. Some other important ‎issues where gross injustice was committed against Muslims also added insult to the injury. ‎The issues of Chechnya, Bosnia, Kashmir and others further augmented this thinking. The ‎major feeling was injustice against the Muslims that still continue.‎

Now that the US backed Arab Spring has taken hold of the entire Middle East, it is not a new ‎thing. It is same New World Order that Bush Senior envisaged though it has backfired in some ‎countries such as Egypt, leading to worries in Israel and the United States and other is to break ‎up the “axis of resistance”. Recently Syrian Foreign Minister has said it during his interview ‎with a journalist of The Independent that the US officials asked them to renounce their backing ‎up to Iran and they would have peace in Syria that they spurned. The world that is backing ‎resistance, insurgency or revolution in Syria is turning a blind eye to the same Arab Spring and ‎Revolution in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain where majority is deprived of basic human rights such ‎as freedom of expression and peaceful protests.‎

As far as US invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan is concerned, democracy has not taken any form ‎over there in these countries. Iraq is witnessing unprecedented Al-Qa’ida attacks that were ‎nonexistent during Saddam regime and Afghanistan is witnessing rising attacks in the coalition ‎forces. Mayhem in Pakistan is also the handiwork of the same forces, leading to estranged ‎feelings among some fanatic factions and large-scale suicide attacks, originally intended to be ‎launched against the western targets. ‎

If all these developments in the Middle East and Muslim countries are jotted down together, ‎they lead to a world scenario that is ripening toward another 9/11. In fact, if seen with an ‎analytic mind, the situations that caused 9/11 are very much here. The difference is only that ‎the anti-US and anti-western forces are not much coordinated and embedded in the western ‎world. ‎
Now the question is will these be coordinated enough to cause another such tragedy? The ‎answer to this question is very big yes. The Muslims over there are now going through a wave ‎of anti-Muslim propaganda and even some moves that are totally against the western norms as ‎well. For example, ban of veil in France, Muslim targeting in the United States, permission of ‎caricatures of the Holy Prophet [PBUH] in Germany, anti-Muslim resentment in other western ‎countries are making the Muslim community living over there to feel separated from the ‎mainstream politics and this is highly precarious development.‎
