WHY don't MUSLIMS APPRECIATE the power the U.S. has given them?

Question

Afganistan is an official Islamic country. IRAQ will eventually make a profit from its oil reserves. MUSLIMS are gonna get rich, and may take over the world, financially. Why do they still hate us?

Answer 1

Because we are different and the USA is a mainly Christian country. Remember, the Crusades were Christians against Muslims. Of course they hate us.

Answer 2

Well it's not as simple as money. Nobody wants another country to come in, take over, and impose themselves on them. It's a disruption. It's mostly political, so I won't boil it down or simplify it by saying that it's muslims per se.

Remember, there are bigger issues the government looks at than the one's we see on the news. Iraq was already rich -- at least the one's in power were. Plus they have a different view of money than westerners like us do. Their culture has a strong religious base that is not so dependent on money or career as ours is -- different priorities. If that's the case, then like many americans, they'll want the house with the white picket fance, the dog in the yard, the big-screen tv, the good job -- but that's the "american" dream...

Answer 3

You're getting several unrelated topics mixed up. What does Iraq making money off its oil have to do with whether it loves or hates the U.S.? They had oil before the U.S. invasion. If anything that may be a reason for them to hate Americans since the oil flow was disrupted. As for Afghanistan a lot of people liked their country the way it was(a lot hated it too that is why they had a civil war) so are you expecting thanks from the Taliban and its supporters?

Answer 4

well i m a Muslim and i dont hate us i have loadz of christian friends who are american as well, there are some muslims who do hate us but not every one its just a small number of muslims who hate the bush administration not us and by the way whose gonna get rich ? lol yeah right if bush leaves any amount of oil over there then sure iraq will get rich and oh afghanistan lol none is hidden about afghanistan every one knows in what condition afghanistan is today.

Answer 5

Because they want to convert the USA and the world. They profit from the oil reserves and rake us over the 'coals'--when oil is all gone, they will be on their knees begging for financial aid and the stupid USA will give them monetary grants, if not the USA, then China will bail them out of poverty.

Answer 6

Muslims don't hate the US. How have you come to that conclusion? How many Muslims have you actually talked to? MUSLIMS won't get rich any more than all CHRISTIANS will get rich if the USA does something profitable.

Answer 7

Hate? Have you meet Muslim? Talk to them? Visit Islamic country ( out from middle east )? Do it and u will learn something...

I have alot of Christian friends. Some of them lik u. Got the streotype mind about Muslim but now... they r my friends.

Answer 8

It are only some, because it is not all, the terrorist are not true to any religion, but to satan, and carrying out the will, there is only one religion and that is Christianity, that leads through Jesus Christ, the only one to die and lift our sins from us, and Jesus Christ is the only way to Gods Kingdom.
I do not think muslims will take over the world, God will destroy it, and we are not of this world anyway, this is not home.

Answer 9

I think they have a problem with us killing their families. Or maybe all the exploitation we have done of their countries. Oh yeah, how about interfering in their lives. Read Rogue State by William Blum. You'll get it.

PS You can't get rich if you have been bombed to death.

Answer 10

Because they view as westerners as foreigners defiling their religion and invading them and destroying their culture. Even thog they may be oil rich it will be controlled by wetern corporations. The 1% of Muslims who are extremists hate this and wish to destroy us because of this.
