The past few years have seen a rise in violence and instability in Muslim-majority countries across the globe. From the civil war in Syria to the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and Libya, it seems as if the Muslim world is in a state of constant turmoil.

While there are many factors that contribute to this instability, some have argued that the blame lies squarely on the shoulders of the Western world. After all, it was the Western powers that colonized much of the Muslim world, and it is the Western powers that continue to intervene in Muslim countries today.

So, why is the West only destabilizing Muslim countries?

The short answer is that the West has a long history of meddling in the affairs of Muslim countries. And while there are many factors that contribute to the current instability in the Muslim world, the West's role in destabilizing Muslim countries is undeniable. 

There are a number of reasons that can be cited for this. 

First and foremost, the Muslim world is incredibly diverse, made up of countries with different levels of economic development, different forms of government, and different levels of religious extremism. This diversity makes it difficult for the West to deal with the Muslim world as a whole.

Second, the Muslim world is located in a strategically important part of the world. Many of the world's major oil reserves are located in Muslim-majority countries, and the Muslim world also contains some of the world's most important trade routes. As such, the West has a vested interest in ensuring that the Muslim world is stable.

Third, the rise of Islamic extremism in the Muslim world has led to a number of terrorist attacks in the West, most notably the 9/11 attacks. In response to these attacks, the West has launched a number of military interventions in Muslim countries, such as the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. These interventions have only served to further destabilize the Muslim world.

Fourth, the West has a long history of intervening in the affairs of Muslim countries. From the days of the Crusades to the present day, the West has often sought to control or influence the Muslim world. This history of intervention has led to a great deal of resentment and mistrust towards the West amongst the people of the Muslim world.

Finally, the West's support for Israel is seen as a major source of instability in the Muslim world. Israel is a Jewish state, and its very existence is seen as an affront to Islam. The West's continued support for Israel, despite its occupation of Palestinian territories and its human rights abuses, only serves to further anger and alienate Muslims.

So, there are a number of reasons why the West is seen as the source of instability in the Muslim world. However, it is important to remember that the Muslim world is far from unified, and that there are many different factors that contribute to the region's instability.
