Economics and education.
The average person in the Middle East is extremely poor. When you have nothing you have nothing to lose.
When a leader tells you that it is some (say the USA) that is responsible for your predicament. You sit up and listen.
When you have a lot of unemployed, desperate people (mostly male) who want "justice" there is going to be some hell breaking loose.
These kinds of out breaks of violence happen all over the world, including the US. The one thing that prevents it from getting completely out of hand in the west is an established democracy. Democracy teaches that "change" can come with an election.
In an oligarchy, monarchy or a dictatorship a citizen lives with absolutes. Political change is not a reality.
