I do think 9/11 was more a response to brutal colonial warfare and three letter agency shenanigans going back many years and less about religion..

A lot of people think that. Just a tiiiiny problem: the hijackers didn't think that. They were jihadis.
And the reason for anti-American jihad?
...in the 1700s. It's older than America. Jihadis want nothing else than 100% global sharia law/kalifate. The hate of America is because America is winning and they are losing. Don't be confused. We do NOT want to placate Jihadis. They are worse than the Nazis.
bin Laden and al-Qaida talked a lot about their motivations. For one it was disgusting to them that the house of Saud bowed and scraped for the crusaders in Washington, and so was the rather arbitrary abuse of Afghanistan.
They also were under the delusion that the US was a democracy, and hence the general population could be held responsible for the actions of its leaders. Understandable if they had mainly been exposed to US/Occidental state propaganda.
Today I don't think anyone would be inclined to hold such a belief.
People are arguing that right here in this thread - that Musks vandalism represents the will of the majority of America.
