"It just so happens, because of the nature of the ME, that Israeli and Western ( yes, of course, primarily the USA ) interests happen to coincide." Only to dual-loyalty Americans. Supporting Israel is not in the national interest of the US.

Those Muslims who support other Muslim countries at the expense of American interests are not (imo) patriots; same goes for Jews, and Hindus, and Christians and whatever else is out there. That is NOT a question of religion- it is a question of loyalty, and assistance, to another country. Religion has zero to do with it (in terms of the logic of the connection- obviously religion might make people favor the other country, but the subset of people who do so favor another country other than there own, is not going to be the same set as those involved in any given religion).
