What are the core reasons? You got me interested now.

I know you are willfully not paying attention, but I'll play along just this once.

Oh. You think that other people don't get that? I thought maybe you had some other secret info. I'm pretty sure most people are well aware that religion has failed as a whole and has been behind some of the worst atrocities in history. Whether or not they are willing to admit it to themselves is a different matter all together.

it kind of has, just not officially. but it isnt americas business to worry about what saudi laws (or any other countrys laws) are, or what they view as immoral.
Any Muslim business owned in New York city is under police and/or federal surveillance at one point or another. Some are never taken off even though nothing's ever found.

Because humanity hasn't evolved past the point where we realize that the entire concept of 'authority' is complete horseshit and everyone is a free independent human being capable of making their own choices. You don't have to go marching off to kill people just because you're told to. You don't have to stand back and watch as a minority take control and start killing your friends and family.

But

people

always

just

watch.

I mean that's a real broad philosophical answer, as for specifics 90% of the time it's the fucking CIA or defense contractors stirring up an enemy for us to go fight in 20 years after the American public's forgotten all about them. Oh look a democratically elected government we can't control, let's put a dictator into power and kill him in a decade or two after we inevitably can't control him anymore, or need a scapegoat for an invasion. Oh man, that psychotic asshole we helped take over your country is killing you? Oh that must really suck. Looks like we'll have to come 'rescue' you! Cue nipple rubbing.

Governments lead to isolationism because we have no link to the people we're murdering. They handle everything, behind closed doors, and do things that aren't actually in the interest of their people, etc. When was the last time you talked to someone from Iran or Syria or Palestine? I don't mean to say without this system we'd be chatting up people across the world and there'd be a utopia, but statism doesn't have a good track record. At all.

This is so broad. You can look at "these things" from a sociological, psychological, political, or religious point of view, and there are other ways of looking at it that blend them. They are all interconnected, which is why it's nice to have at least a basic understanding of what modern science has to say on these subjects. You're agnostic or atheist right? Try to apply that same kind of rigor to these subjects.

If you look into why some people become terrorists, it's not all that surprising given the way our environment shapes us; if you have a basic understanding of trauma psychology it's easy to see how a child who witnesses his mother dying in front of him will be scarred for the rest of his life. And he is told growing up (and in many cases it's actually true) that it was an Israeli weapon (with at least tacit support from the United States). Now you have a terrorist. Incidentally, it's hard to come up with a definition for "terrorism" that doesn't include the United States as a leading terrorist nation. You can find out more about this if you really want to know.

Now take the political landscape. Saudi Arabia is arguably the most extreme Islamic fundamentalist state in the world, but it has been the center of U.S. policy in the region. We've supported the Islamic government over the threat of secular nationalism for years. You can find out more if you really try.

I'm not going to let you frame the debate as "idealist versus realist," because that doesn't have any real application. There are people who take action versus people who do not take action. You should foster compassion, because you couldn't make a sane argument against becoming a more compassionate person. It is good for your mental health, and thus your physical health, and it is obviously good for the people you are being compassionate towards. People who foster compassion become emotionally intelligent, which helps you to resolve interpersonal conflict more easily (and this is at the heart of success in all areas of life). Once it becomes an ingrained habit, action will feel more natural. It's impossible to do something about everything, which is why it's better to focus on being compassionate and seeing where that leads you.

I'm gonna say this here because this feels like an applicable place:

Palestine has to hide it's rockets in Schools because if they kept them in regular non-schools, the Israelis would blow them up, and still target the schools with the next batch of guns.

Hate Islam, but free Palestine!

First, a neutron beam is split into two parts in a neutron interferometer. Then the spins of the two beams are shifted into different directions: The upper neutron beam has a spin parallel to the neutrons’ trajectory, the spin of the lower beam points into the opposite direction. After the two beams have been recombined, only those neutrons are chosen which have a spin parallel to their direction of motion. All the others are just ignored. ... These neutrons, which are found to have a spin parallel to its direction of motion, must clearly have travelled along the upper path — only there do the neutrons have this spin state. This can be shown in the experiment. If the lower beam is sent through a filter which absorbs some of the neutrons, then the number of the neutrons with spin parallel to their trajectory stays the same. If the upper beam is sent through a filter, than the number of these neutrons is reduced.

Things get tricky when the system is used to measure where the neutron spin is located: the spin can be slightly changed using a magnetic field. When the two beams are recombined appropriately, they can amplify or cancel each other. This is exactly what can be seen in the measurement, if the magnetic field is applied at the lower beam – but that is the path which the neutrons considered in the experiment are actually never supposed to take. A magnetic field applied to the upper beam, on the other hand, does not have any effect.
