Look, here's the trouble - the militant Islamics hate EVERYONE that isn't Islamic. It's pretty simple.
And the non-militant Islamics, while they don't "condone" that point of view, also feel an obligation or kinship with the militant Islamics... and therefore won't police them.
That leaves us with two options.
1. Partition off the middle east. Don't let anyone in or out. Let them have their sacred muslim state... of course this also cuts off our negotiations and dealings with the inside, with Israel, with Egypt, with all of our allies in the area.
2. Piss them off. Because you must understand - there is no way NOT to piss off militant Islamics. Our very existence pisses them off, and if they have to look at us they start wanting to kill us.
It has NOTHING to do with the US's foreign policy. It has NOTHING to do with choices we've made. It has EVERYTHING to do with their desire to kill anyone that is different from them, and our unwillingness to hide and keep out of their sight.
