It's not christian tyranny. Only blind radical far left America haters could even imagine that.

That's ridiculous.
They are using Islam as a marching cry. If we took all the Christians or Jews and swapped them with where Muslims were, you'd find the exact same results. You'd find a people that are undereducated, repressed under dictators (propped up by foreign nations), and given little other than religion in terms of self development.
Then there grows an animosity for the dictators (look at Al Qaeda's motivations -- it was to destroy Saudi Arabia rulers, not the US), and their proxies. They use religion as a rallying cry to motivate their base, and use it to justify their actions. They appease their base by helping them on different levels like with food, social services and healthcare. They become a sympathetic figure to those people in that region because of what they do for those people.
And the people support them, and their actions get justified.
I don't care what religion it is, it would all happen the same way, because there are people that can twist and mold words in a book to represent what they want to say. And that's also why I am agnostic, because I don't care for organized religion, and it has more to do with molding of minds than it does of humanity or anything like it.
