"Many Americans have wondered, "Why do 'they' hate us?" Some also ask, "What can we do to stop these attacks?"

Bin Ladin and al Qaeda have given answers to both these questions. To the first, they say that America had attacked Islam; America is responsible for all conflicts involving Muslims. Thus Americans are blamed when Israelis fight with Palestinians, when Russians fight with Chechens, when Indians fight with Kashmiri Muslims, and when the Philippine government fights ethnic Muslims in its southern islands. America is also held responsible for the governments of Muslim countries, derided by al Qaeda as "your agents." Bin Ladin has stated flatly, "Our fight against these governments is not separate from our fight against you."14 These charges found a ready audience among millions of Arabs and Muslims angry at the United States because of issues ranging from Iraq to Palestine to America's support for their countries' repressive rulers.

Bin Ladin's grievance with the United States may have started in reaction to specific U.S. policies but it quickly became far deeper." - http://www.9-11commission.gov/report/911Report_Ch2.htm

Generations of American/western "intervention" in their government and way of life. Aid only given, if they toe the democratic line, and then we have the gall to call it humanitarian aid.
Democratic governments deliberately toppled because they had the nerve to ask why they had to give away their natural resources to American companies for little or no recompense.
If you were treated this way by a country for generations wouldn't you be leery of anything they offer you, including the "American way of life"?

Because we are free to practice any religion we want, and to wear anything we want. To eat anything we want, etc. We can smoke and drink and eat pork. We let our women wear jeans and shorts and short skirts. We let them wear speghetti straps and low cut shirts. We let Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc. all live together.

The muslim extremists hate America because they see us as if we were ignoring Allah's laws.

Muslims believe their society and religion is the greatest in the world, and they hate us because we are richer and more powerful. They believe God has chosen them to be the greatest, and destroy everything that stands in the way of their conquering.

It is taught to them from when they are children. It is believed that the progress of the west is an affront to everything that they believe in. In some of these countries they are taught in school to hate everything that is different from them, and they should do everything in their power to destroy it.

They want to control the whole world and set it back about 3000 years. They are inferior to the western world, so they want to destroy it…

They hate everybody including themselves. They apparently don't need any reason.
