Global conflicts: why Islamists are angry?

Description

Much of the discussion in the popular press on developments in Egypt or Turkey or even in Iran is shaped by two things.

But the issue is more complicated than what meet the eyes. Islamists or a section of adherents of Islam are actually waging war against westernisation of the world or modernism which is equivalently used by the US/Europe press. Europe as many are aware has become agnostic and irreligious to the extent that even the Pope complains about people not following Christianity.
