Nobody runs “it” because Islam isn’t a single, unified religion unlike say Catholicism.
Just like nobody runs Buddhism as there are different sects and interpretations of ancient texts.
The bastardos who fly planes into buildings and shoot schoolkids are generally of the Salafist / Wahhabist sect of Islam, which was and is the version of Islam practised by Arab desert marauders (e.g. Saudis, Emiratis), who also happen to be our oil-selling allies. Remember, the September 11th hijackers were primarily Saudis. Bin Laden was a Saudi.
To tar “Islam” with the same brush is silly because there is no single unified Islamic church.
The Islamic world has been and still is at war with itself (Sunni vs Shia). We in the West have only been drawn into it due to our govermnents playing one side against each other for access to oil and other resources in that region.
Its not a conspiracy, just simply economics. The Western world needs oil to lubricate the wheels of commerce and vast quantities of accessible oil are in Muslim lands. However, when we deal with a region that has been at war for over a thousand years then unfortunately we will suffer the consequences.
