They (US Christians and Islamic Arabs) both believe they are the focal point AND opposing sides in an imminent global war that their patriarchal doctrines call 'Armageddon.'
Not only that, but a huge stroke of irony means that the world's largest accessible supply of oil is in the Middle East, at a time in history when we have made ourselves entirely dependent upon oil. There is also the small matter of Arabic terrorists in New York and American invasions in the Middle East.
Add to that the enormous racism/religious bigotry on both 'sides' directed at the other...
So, you could say there is friction, yes.

I don't hate the Arabs I know. And I can't hate the ones I don't know until I know them, and even then, only if they give me good reason to do so.
I try not to poison myself with hatred. I do find a great deal of anger towards idiotic things like Creationism and Blind Faith (the former stems from the latter, of course).

Hell yeah! There's a video game coming out on monday called Assassin's Creed, where you go to jerusalem and kill muslims. Watch. That game will sell millions. I am buying it...
To be fair, you also kill christian crusaders in the game...
What's with the pussyfooting in our culture today? Yes. Arabs hate us, we hate them. We have been on bad terms since before this country was founded, and we are still on bad terms today. It would take a miracle to erase what has already happened between us...
I don't believe he said anything about religion here, tuberoot... Seems that we're strictly on ethnicity... although this is the wrong forum...

Animosity is a "nice" word. The more powerful word would be "hate".
Americans and Arabs hate each other!

Ehhh... I believe them to be the minority really. I gots no issues with Arabs or anyone from the middle east as long as they allow others to live the way they see fit. But... I feel they should be welcome in my country as so many other countries seem to despise them so.

Do you mean the Muslims who are against terrorism? Or the one's who are for terrorism?
