Thanks for the History lesson Host, too bad the populaces have hated us long before Mubarak.
What it boils down to is many of the Muslim clerics can not come to terms with Islam not being the dominant force in the world. Extreamism popped up with their defeats in the initial crusades, re-popped up with the Mongol Invasion, Turkish conquest, Spainish Reconquista, etc.
To each of these moments in which Islam lost politically, economically, and militarily extreamism reared its head. It is a symptom of Islam not being the dominant power in the world, not our arrogance (no matter how powerful it is sometimes).
