It is because of our foreign policy! At the end of WWII America was the most liked country in the world. We were seen as the gentle giant that lends a helping hand and freed the oppressed. It has been down hill ever since, Even our leaders get on television and use such terms as "The Carrot & the Stick" when referring to their dealings with other countries. In other words, we brib and/or threaten to get our way. No one likes a Bully, plain and simple.

They arent jealous of America they view as the infidels.
Our foreign policy in the middle east has been biased against the people native to that land in favor of our all consuming need for oil. This country did not care about the middle east until oil was discovered there. Then Britian and the UN went in and arbitrarily decided what country lines were going to be based on how to best carve up that region in the interest of oil companies. Britain was at the end of its global domination phase at this point and this is where they went severely down hill. The US is now doing the exact same thing Britian did 60 years ago as far as global domination and military outreach are concerned.

If these Muslims were just jealous of American freedoms, why wouldn't they just move to the US? There are plenty of Muslim communities and networks of relatives here to help them out. They could pursue their education or profession, get a job in business or open a store, pray five times a day and go to the mosque every Friday.

Sounds like a description of Rush Limbaugh to me! lol

I would say both but of course it's impossible to understand what a terrorist is thinking about. They latchon to a concept and they can never let it go ... and that's the danger. As an example - if America leaves Iraq will terrorism go away .... I doubt it.
Also the question is a terrorist a terrorist or a freedom fighter in his mind ?

Both. Some of our foreign policies haven't helped as much as we had hoped they would. On the other hand, even though they weren't always called terrorists, that hatred has been simmering for centuries.

Don't make the mistake of thinking terrorist "hate" anybody. Hate is an emotion that infers a personal relationship. There is nothing personal about a terrorist attack. They just want to kill, they are not interested in the victims, only the number of victims.

i think of you may study what OBL had to declare approximately why his terrorists have been combating the U. S.. He talks with reference to the U. S.-Israeli courting, Israel killing Palestinians, Christians being kuffar, and the Qutbist thought that the West is in a state of jahiliyya. i want to advise the e book "The Al Qaeda Reader" by Raymond Ibrahim. i'm at a loss at how criticism people distant places coverage is anti-Semitic. Do you think of the international revolves around Jews and the U. S.? if it is so which you are not greater suitable than the individuals who blame the Jews for each and all the international's ills. Kissinger is a Jew and he had some harsh words for US distant places coverage. Kissinger has been around for a protracted time and his journey in distant places coverage long precedes the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. In "Years of Upheaval" he became serious of the Israel-US courting with reference to the U. S. reaction to Israel breaking a ceasefire with Syria. in all risk had some thing to do with Golda Meir yelling at him on the telephone. Nixon quite did no longer hear to him a number of the time.

They hate you because they are racist. They won't tolerate white people. You guys seem to think its just the americans they hate. If you think they aren't racist, then why is it that terrorists won't hire christians? When they advocate jobs, they specify must not be white, christian or jew. Like the mafia, you're only ever going to get them on something like tax evasion, something not even closely related to the crimes they have and will commit.
Personally they don't fear you because when you attack them, they know you're going to rebuild their society (they're fighting for their society, not for themselves). Personally (if in charge of the US defence force) i would blow the absolute crap out of countries, murder and kill everyone in sight. When they figure out the you are psychopathic lunies, they will give you respect (do you think the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Vikings and Germans ever got anywhere because they were nice and tried diplomacy? - they masacred the lot and started again with their own population. Everyone lived in fear that these groups were going to invade them.)

Foregion policy which has amounted to we interfear in others business which we would fight like hell to prevent someone doing to us. When ever a foregion country sticks its nose in the internal affairs of other goverments, tyrantical or not, they open themselves to terror attacks, and the revolutionaries that founded the US were terrorsts according to the British at the time
