ELI5 why are so many Muslims pissed off with 'the west'?

I take this huge world shaping fact for granted without really wondering why...did we do something terrible?

Many factors:

Relations between Islamic countries and the U.S. were profoundly affected by the west's cold war on communism.

The U.S. traditionally fought the growth of a pan-Arab nationalism in the region.

The U.S. traditionally supported Fundamentalist religious movements as an additional mechanism to fragment the Arab world.

Petro-dollars brought enormous wealth to many Muslim countries creating vast economic schisms and leaders that were autocratic, unelected, and not particularly accountable to public opinion.

Millions of Palestinian refugees have been created as a result of the 1948 and 1967 wars in Palestine.

Governments in the region tended to invest in major infrastructure projects, but not in education improvements or activities that would bring economic opportunities to the people.

	

In many Arab/Muslim countries, the youth suffer immense frustration, created by high unemployment rates, poverty, lack of education, and lack of hope.

Many Muslims object to American culture.
