Religious beliefs have always been used for political purposes. In Mexico Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla took a flag with Virgin Guadalupe, and many Mexicans with no Spanish blood joined him. Hidalgo was born in Mexico from Spanish parents.
Now we can read in the NYT that two American citizens have been killed in Kabul, Afghanistan, because of an error on the part of the US, the burning of the Qoran, for which even the President of the United States has apologized. The Taliban claimed responsibility of the crime against the Americans, and there has been anti US demonstrations for almost a week.
Should the US and her allies from Northern Europe leave?
Yes, I think they should, but leaving enough infrastructure to avoid another attack from successors of the 9/11 criminal Bin Laden.
A few American Navy Seals were enough to get rid of him. At the face of it, NATO should leave, Mission Accomplished.
