We're not at war with Islam, and most of them don't hate us. However, your blithe assumption that "all Muslims" hate us (and why), and the logical consequent -- that they're all our enemies, is precisely the sort of stupidity that will put us at war with Islam, as opposed to a relatively small number of fanatics. I'm well aware of who we are at war with and who we are not. I've done a fair share of the actual fighting. Further it isn't Islam its nearly everyone in the Mid-East.
And I have been to nearly every nation in the Mid-East repeatedly both serving America and on business. And here's a newsflash. They hate us. Some a little, some a lot, some rabidly. One thing that is the same if you try and pin them down on why it always comes down to one thing its that they are not successful and we are.
Call it a stupid attitude if you want but the only thing keeping them from attacking us more is fear of the repercussions.
Pretend all you want but this problem will not go away until and unless the Mid-East decides to grow up and accept some responsibility for their own situation, in short "what they are not".

I agree with your synopsis although I probably would have used different phrasing. Humankind has always been competitive and mankind even more so. The fact that we are first in the pecking order is a serious affront to many in the world and the US. In a society (Mideast)that supposes that their culture and intellect are superior to all others it must have been a shock to wake up fifty years ago and find yourself a hundred years behind. You are right to fear their zeal and hate.
