Nope. It goes back 4500 years or so to Abraham's two sons, Ishmael and Isaac.

Ahhhh a supposed scholar! Better try this instead. We, the U.S. , Overthrew a democracy in Iran in the 50s and installed the shaa and his rotten brutal secret police. We did this thru the CIA. We then sided with sadam Hussein against Iran with Rumsfeld pictured shaking hands with sadam. ( later of course we hung him) we supplied millions of dollars worth of arms to him, much of which was later used against us. As for Afghanistan, we were after Ben laden, who of course was from Saudi Arabia and had him confined near tora bora but then diverted our attention to Iraq instead. A stupid and deadly move for thousands of american soldiers not to mention 200 thousand Iraqi civilians. Not so much liberal as common sense. Grow up and read history.its obvious your lacking a firm grasp of what happened.
