In your opinion, what is the primary reason for 9/11 attack?

Question

1. Is it jealousy of US democracy, wealth, freedom?
As claimed by Bush & company.

2. To spread Islamic religion? I
Is that their way to spread their religion? By Kamikaze's or terrorisms? (As claimed by other religious individuals, all Muslims strongly denied this.)

3. Is it due to US years of continuous support on Israelis' regime occupation in the Middle East?
(which unbearable depressions led ones, or the victims and the witnesses commit suicidal attack ?

And this is the opinion of almost all Muslims.

However (except for the majority Palestians & some people/groups in the world) majority of Muslims in the world strongly reject the idea of commiting suicide & attacks on the civilians/innocence as that are against the religion.)

All answers are appreciated, please tell me where you are from.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I think the main thing was support of Isreal. Remember, we had no presence at all in Afganistan or Iraq. There was a small presence in Saudi Arabia, at the behest of the Saudi government who feared both Saddam and the wackos in Iran. The Far Left wackos in our own country, the Micheal Moore hate-America crowd, like to use this as an opportunity to spout hatred of their own against our country, but the truth is all of these people (Bin Laden, Micheal Moore) are irrational haters. Do they really need a reason? They are just full of hate. The radical Islamists hate Isrealies so much they are willing to plant bombs on their own children and blow them up to kill other kids on a school bus. Our own home grown hate-America crowd isn't all that far behind them sometimes. Bottom line is we are the only thing that's keeping the haters from eliminating Isreal, and they hate us for that the most.

I agree with one of the responses that your proffered choices definitely show strong bias.

I look at the situation on a more macro basis. It is about a commodity that is becoming scarce, in fact is running out. In order to keep the price for that commodity inflated and maintain a center stage, political manipulators foment violence and terrorism USING those who place their faith in dogma.

This picture is changing as the world moves away from oil as THE source of energy. This change causes friction as the world weans itself from dependence. Those who have benefited from oil and the resultant monies it has brought them will either change their business model or go back to a Bedouin way of life. Dubai is a perfect example of a changing business model. I am not saying that the Saudis have a lock on a workable solution but at least they are trying to build rather than destroy.

It is easy enough to destroy but the real hard slogging is to build something and make it work. This is the mark of an evolving civilization.

Money and religion make strange bedfellows and BOTH cause people to act irrationally.

Answer 3

"The history, culture, and body of beliefs from which Bin Ladin has shaped and spread his message are largely unknown to many Americans. Seizing on symbols of Islam's past greatness, he promises to restore pride to people who consider themselves the victims of successive foreign masters. He uses cultural and religious allusions to the holy Qur'an and some of its interpreters. He appeals to people disoriented by cyclonic change as they confront modernity and globalization. His rhetoric selectively draws from multiple sources-Islam, history, and the region's political and economic malaise. He also stresses grievances against the United States widely shared in the Muslim world. He inveighed against the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, the home of Islam's holiest sites. He spoke of the suffering of the Iraqi people as a result of sanctions imposed after the Gulf War, and he protested U.S. support of Israel.
...
Bin Ladin began delivering diatribes against the United States before he left Saudi Arabia. He continued to do so after he arrived in Sudan. In early 1992, the al Qaeda leadership issued a fatwa calling for jihad against the Western "occupation" of Islamic lands. Specifically singling out U.S. forces for attack, the language resembled that which would appear in Bin Ladin's public fatwa in August 1996." 9/11 Commission Report

Answer 4

I don't feel any of these reasons were the reason for the attacks on 9/11.

From what I understand, OBL called for a jihad - or a religious war - against the United States. He does this because he - like many others in the middle east - feel that the United States tries to control the world, and make everyone do as they wish. The attacks were actions of the declared war upon the United States, and it was done for the sole reason of attacking the "big dog" on their own home soil.

Answer 5

Jealousy.

Answer 6

*1 is correct
Where did you hear Majority of Muslims strongly reject Idea of committing suicide?
Didn't ever hear any Muslim group oppose any form of terrorism
Nothing from CAIR or AMA
The so called religion of peace has been hijacked by Nazislamic Fascist and the rest Muslim world seems content to go along for the ride. As everyone can tell from their lack of opposition and silence

Answer 7

I think it's a combination of a few things, 1,The Koran says that those that don't worship Allah are infidels,and should be exterminated or converted .2.They are jealous/afraid of Western technology and fear it will change their culture. 3 They are afraid of Western morals and ideas corrupting their citizens.(How dare a woman drive a car,go out in public without a burka or even worse, get an education!) It's kind of ironic that the Democrats,the so called party of the oppressed,are so willing to dismiss their sisters in Iraq just to bash the current Presidency.

Answer 8

I believe the U.S. government was a participant in - or, at least was aware of - the 9-11 attacks, and used it as leverage for a number of objectives:
1. To help Bush's buddy, Larry Silverstein, escape from a 'white elephant' property that was costing him millions of dollars in losses. The World Trade Centers could only be 'profitable' if they were destroyed and Larry could collect on the insurance;
2. To heighten the emotions of gullible Americans and give the Bush administration a reasonable excuse to attack Iraq, which Bush intended to do from his very first day in office (he just needed justification);
3. To allow Bush to run circles around Congress and create a police state in America where citizens are presumed guilty until proven innocent;
4. To steal all of Iraq's OIL and generate immense profits for members of the giant U.S. military-industrial complex, including its two newest members (the Carlyle Group and Halliburton) who both have direct ties to the Bush-Cheney White House;
5. To establish a dominant presence in the Middle East (by building the world's largest embassy on a 104-acre site in downtown Baghdad) so that all that region's easily-accessible OIL doesn't start being shipped to other nations like China (whose OIL demands are becoming even more prodigious than our own);
6. To let George W. Bush satisfy his bloodthirsty need for proving his machismo and settling a 'score' with Saddam Hussein, with whom the Bush family had a personal vendetta ever since the days of Desert Storm. -RKO- 06/04/07

Answer 9

The 9/11 attacks happened because the US gets involved in the politics of too many countries. The US sides with vicious and brutal governments to suit its own needs. Most of the terrorists that are fighting the us are pore, ignorant, young, Muslim men and woman, that have nothing to lose by dying. They believe everything they are told about the US and they are very hate full people. They do it for selfish reasons. They are nothing more than cowards.

Answer 10

Hatred of infidels. Greater hatred of infidels who stand up to Islamofascism.
