So are you saying Western involvement helped create the dictatorships in Arab countries? If that’s the case, how did it happen, and why does the Arab world have such strong resentment toward the West?

There's a whole lot there, but with the most broad strokes imaginable: Imperialism and the Cold War, both of which are great causes of resentment.

Secular democracies in the arab world made economic ties with the USSR during the cold war, which was a bad time.
