This is sort of hard to get a direct grasp on but maybe the way to start this is how people root for their home team. So, if you live in Prescott, Arizona for example maybe the bad guys (sports team wise) might be Phoenix or Flagstaff or something like that. So, people bad mouth people from other places while rooting for their teams.
If you apply this to people in the Middle East who are Muslims, anyone who is a Christian is suspicious because they believe different things than Muslims do, especially Muslims that haven't been educated at all except in their churches and Madrases. So, there is no public education which makes sense on a national or international scale. So, someone could literally tell them anything and if they believe it that is what they think is true.
It's a lot like the panic over ISIS and Al Qaeda here in the U.S. now drifting some people into blaming all Muslims on earth for what is happening.
However, realistically that would be like blaming Timothy McVeigh who was a Christian who blew up civilians in Oklahoma (killed about 300 people in the 1990s) for being a terrorist and equating him to all Christians on earth because he was a Christian.
So, mostly blaming the U.S. and Europe is based upon the fact that Europe and the U.S. are Christian nations and nothing really much else.
And this is done mostly by people who have never been to high school or college and haven't ever been to a Christian country to visit there.
If you don't understand something whether you are Christian or Muslim or whatever you are likely going to be scared of it and maybe make up stories that aren't true in your mind. And then these untrue stories might make some people dead which then causes real problems for everyone.
