During late 1970th early 1980th, a monster unleashed. The ultra-orthodoxy fundamental Islamists were on the rise. Islamic revolution took over Iran in 1979, the assassination of Egypt president Anwar Al Sadat by Islamists in 1981, Jihadist declared victory over the Red Army in Afghanistan in 1989. It was the right wing Islamists golden decade. America decided to date evil all the way long. But it works for them for the best interest of the empire.
The Shah of Iran Mohammed Reza Pahlavi had costly modernization ideas for Iran so he was demanding more share of oil wealth. He crossed the red line and angered Oil companies. Egypt president Anwar Al Sadat launched with the Syrians a surprise attack on Israel in 1973 Ramadan war. He had to pay the price as in 1981 was assassinated by an Egyptian Islamic group during a military parade.
But what people didn't know is that Anwar Al Sadat was a prominent member of Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. He was in charge of communication between Egypt Muslim Brotherhood and the Free Officers Movement and its leader Jamal Abd Al Nasser. Some people would say he was a member of Muslim Brotherhood clandestine unit in charge of numerous assassinations in Egypt. At the same time, he was close to western thinking and ideology.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi and Anwar Al Sadat facing the Islamists when gamer for them were over according to the U.S best interest. Islamists are still on the rise and recently a new victim, Syrian president Bashar Al Assad regime after 14 years. And before during what is called Arab Spring, they claimed the heads of Libyan president Moamar Al Qadafi, Tunisian Zain Al Abeden Ben Ali and Egypt president Mohamad Hussni Mubarak. The name Arab Spring is misleading. It should be called the American or Israeli spring in the Middle East or Islamic Spring, but not Arab Spring.
Israel participated actively in the Islamists uprising a long time ago before the so-called Arab Spring. Charles Freeman, former U.S. ambassador to Saudi Arabia says once "Israel Started Hamas" Israel used Hamas to hem in the PLO, Islamism facing Secularism. The spark was Israeli and the fire spread all over the place. Now this might be surprising to some people, top PLO leaders were members or associated with Muslim Brotherhood through the League of Palestinian students in Egypt which was created by the Muslim Brotherhood. Hamas overthrew the PLO from Gaza in 2007 by means of military force. PLO rule in Palestine was weakening. Israel took great advantage of the 7th of October attack by calling it in the media that they are facing their own version of September 11 attacks.
U.S and Israeli interests in the region were best served by Islamists actions. The Islamists were pro capitalism and enemies of Arab Nationalism, communism and Marxism. Islamism provided U.S foreign policy with a free gift to intervene in the region rich in oil & gas. Rule that they continue to play until our current day.
