Why would "terrorists" be so upset with the US that they would want to "destroy" it?

Question

Have you ever thought that if you stop doing what pisses these people off, they might turn to other endeavors? say golf, farming or playing cards? Have you ever thought maybe all those people who are mad at the US have some good reason?*

*those who know the reasons, please point them out. Many US people still think "terrorists" envy their freedom, or hate that women don't wear burqas rather than well, for starters invading countries wantonly.

Yeah, sure, THEY are brainwashed. Good sense of humor, freedom-fries. They hate you because their religion magically picked you on the whole other side of the world. Real intelligent answer. Have you ever wondered that maybe they act in desperation? maybe because your government keeps a brutal dictatorship over them, or because your government invaded their country and murdered their family.. maybe even raped a neighbor, you know US soldiers are into that.
No? you don't think maybe you could just stop pissing them off.
I mean, in Latin America, women don't wear burqas. We are not the least afraid of Islamic terrorists. On the other hand, we are mighty afraid of the US government. hmmmm? any thoughts?

Okay, what are we doing to piss those people off? Stealing their oil? Invading their countries? Fine. Let's stop buying their oil and providing them with foreign income and jobs. Let's see how much revenue their countries pull in from goat herding. Let's pull out all our troops and incentives that come along with them being there. Let them supply their own irrigation ditches and proper power to their cities. Let their own security forces protect their people. We'll apologize for invading them. And to show how much we hate people invading we'll make all Arab natives living in the United States leave.
No I don't think that if we "stop doing what pisses these people off, they might turn to other endeavors."
Look at the Gaza Strip. When the Israeli Army pulled out did the Palestinean people turn to other endeavors such as golf, farming, or playing cards? NO! The violence, kidnappings, and looting grew even worse than before.
Kobaincito, have you ever thought that if those people stopped doing what pisses us off -like flying planes into our buildings- that we might turn to other endeavors?

You're kidding, right? First, these Middle East sickos have been on murderous rampages ever since I was a kid (and before -- I'm 44). Second, THEY murdered OUR people -- you don't remember 9/11? Duh!

We DID NOT "invade [their] country wantonly" -- THEY murdered over 3,000 of our people in one day! AND, if you're going to go back to the 70s (when Jimmy Carter was president and p!ssed off these nutcases), once again, we helped out because THEY were murdering people!! Funny, everybody says the U.S. should stop this murdering group and that murdering group, and then when we step in, you all have a friggin' problem with it!!!

You really aren't so stupid as to think they're going to golf instead of murder and oppress, right? Kumbaya, my Lord, Kumbaya.

Yipes.

Answer 3

There is a religious motivation for the Islamist terrorists. I am not saying that this is normal Islam. I suppose we could stop Al Qaeda from being pissed with us if we converted to Wahabi Islam and changed our government and lifestyles accordingly. But then that would piss off the Twelver Shiite terrorists. You may have noticed that Islamists do not refrain from attacking other Islamists that disagree with them.
Personally, I think it is safer to keep a secular democracy.

Answer 4

simple answer: They grow up watching kiddy shows that say blow up anything that doesn't agree with you. dont matter, jew, christian, budhist, hindu, other muslims etc...they're brainwashed from an early age and it won't stop any time soon. 22 major conflicts on the planet and they're all revolving around which religion? phillipines, india, pakistan, iraq, iran, israel, indonesia, russia and on and on....all around one cult..err religion.

Answer 5

Because they perceive us to be infidels. A basic tenet of Islam is that all should believe in their values and live by their values. None of the "extreme" denominations of Christianity believe that non-believers should be killed. Many of the extreme sects of Islam believe that infidels deserve to be killed.

Answer 6

Why would I stop playng cards just because someone dislikes it so much that they bomb my country?

No, I think I'll play cards twice as much now, thank you.

Answer 7

they belive we have tampered with their lives, i guess. they are probably angry about the fact that america, as you stated, invaded their country. maybe it is all just part of a giant power struggle, yet to occur.

Answer 8
