They may or may not have been egged on by an organized religious group, but I fail to see what it has to do with who is in the Whitehouse. In the same vein, the person throwing the grenade may or may not be steered by an organized religious leader or group. In their own mind I am sure they think they are religiously motivated. The fact that the US is there is not the reason they threw the grenade. The reason they didn't throw the grenade under Saddam is a security issue. There is now a lack of security and the opertunity to impose their religion has presented itself. They are not a response to a social force but rather taking advantage of a social opportunity, much like looters.
