You couldn't be more right. You only have to look at a timeline of events in the Middle East and other places where America has interacted with Islam, to realize that it has been a cause for that threat to grow stronger. Stronger in more than one sense. Let us not forget that it was the CIA that armed and trained the Taliban and the Jihadists.
