It was a long time since the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Soviet Union supported the emergence of Israel on the Arab territories, and then supported the Arabs to liberate the land from the Israelis, the Arabs came with Britain in World War II, but gave a "Balfour Declaration" to the Jews, Arabs still love Britain and America, although they With Israel, the Arabs hate the Soviet Union, even though with them, the Arab territories are still occupied, and the conflict still exists.
I do not know the exact answer, but Soviet ideology was atheist and therefore a threat to islam. If the communist party would prevail in its Marx-Leninistic form in some of arab counties, that would lead to secularization and to repression of islam. USA was much more tolerant towards freedom of religion. This however changed and Russia is not promoting atheist ideology, rather on contrary.
Dear Beverly,
Maybe Trump's rethoric is islamophobic or christianocentric, but the US reality is and always was of religious freedom. The freedom of religion is legally protected in US, which cannot be said on the side of USSR where formally the freedom of religion was also legally protected, but in fact the christian but also other religious were persecuted. I can worte about examples from my country, where we had also socialist regim (then Czechoslovak socialist republic) and what that meant to freedom of religion here.

The Arab rulers now know that they will remain in power as long as they are satisfied with them in Israel, and the people can exploit all their rights without any indifference because of this equation. People, for example, America can control all Arab oil, all Arab oil, if their rulers promised to stay, and can destroy any country of the governor delayed the payment of money ...
