The resemblance is uncanny!
Yeah, bloody, although not as bad as many.
Yeah, nothing is in abundance like the high, insufferable, oppressive humidity or the incessant, irritating, biting insects and bugs of many eastern and southern locales. Makes the desert climes a much more pleasant place to live by comparison.
Not sure how you justify jumping from the deserts of the southwestern US to comparisons with Muslims and extremism. That was a leap made without any facts to connect them. I call BS to you saying the starkness of the desert makes for stark people. I grew up in the deserts of the southwest and find them beautiful. Are you saying that the folks raised in the deserts of the southwest are more likely to be extremists because they live in a stark environment compared to the lush, green of other places? That's a crock.
Hey, I get that you don't like the starkness of the desert. Each to his own. But I'm sure that the director of the film chose to make the desert look stark and brown to go along with the subject matter of the script and where it took place. He wasn't filming this about the drug trafficking problems and the "Canadian drug cartels" along the lush green border with Canada but of those in the harsh reality of the desert southwest. The harsh, stark reality of the desert landscapes background goes along perfectly with the harsh reality of the problem this movie reveals. For this same reason the movie soundtrack is heavy and ominous and not a light-hearted ditty. Sicario Soundtrack
And as for saying that you didn't see any green trees in the movie is nonsense. Watch the trailer again. The opening scene in Chandler, Arizona has several green trees in it. And there are more throughout the film. But to make uniformed, generalized statements about the desert and the people who live there, is not helpful.

This movie was a terrific advertisement for militarizing our southern border.
