A classic example of such "creation of oppression" occurred in Baghdad when American soldiers raided a mosque seizing a large cache of explosives.
The American soldiers were simply trying to protect themselves by seizing the explosives yet this was seen as an example of American aggression and oppression by Iraqi Muslims. According to the New York Post 1/3/2004,
Hundreds of Sunni worshippers gathered at the al-Tabool mosque in a rage filled protest yesterday.
"American soldiers entered the mosque with their shoes on and with machine guns in their hands," said the imam, Adulsatar al-Janabi, claiming that troops "trampled on the holy Koran."
Protesters screamed and cried, chanting "God is great" and America is the enemy of God."
