The west has a long, ugly history with the Middle East, dating back to the crusades and continuing on through the British attempts to control the area in the 19th century, their political interference in Countries like Egypt, not to Mention the Ottoman Empire. Then the US has had involvement there during the cold war, then in the 90s with the Gulf War. I think it's safe to say we have have history there, if it's a bit of a stretch to say that we were there "right before 9/11". That said, this article's premise is hot garbage - not to mention racist as hell as you pointed out.
