I don't think so. I think radical Islamic teaching had a lot to do with it.

really? you know, osama bin laden got his start fighting russians in afganistan. i remember reading that he hated us then, but accepted our help because he wanted the russians out. did he fight russia because he was a muslim? no, he fought them because they were invaders. then came gulf one, somalia, and of course we've been israels' chief ally since day one. i think this has more to do with the arab conflicts over the years. if he were a christian arab, i think he'd still hate us, and would still be doing what he's doing.
