Why do Muslims that hate the west so much have computers and speak english? shouldn't they keep to their own

Question

inventions such as explodeing belts?

Answer 1

The funny thing about it, is that they can't even manufacture the exploding belts and probably buy them from China.

Answer 2

Not all Muslims hate the West.
In fact, it would be more accurate to say that few Muslims hate the West. Take for example Indonesia, which has the highest Muslim population on earth. The Indonesians have nothing against the West, nor do Muslims living in France, China, etc. Many Muslims are, in fact, Westerners.

You may be confused with the 'Muslim' stereotype, i.e. an Arab Muslim Bedouin ('Bedouin' is a word meaning wander, or gypsy).

However, even then, very few Muslims hate the West.
I have lived in the Middle East for 17 years, and so I have a pretty good idea of the general feeling of the Arabs.

Most Arabs seperate the people from the government, and in the Middle East, many will openly say that they love America and hate American Foreign Policy (an example the West would do well to imitate when dealing with Arabs).
Additionaly, there is the false idea that all Arabs are Muslim. On the contrary, many Arabs are Christian, especialy Palestinians, Lebanese, and Syrians. Simply because they are Christian does not mean that they will support the West either (Arab Christians often pray for such groups as Hezbollah, who they deem freedom fighters, not terrorists).

Due to this, Muslims (and Arabs) are not being hypocritical when they speak English or use computers. (In fact, the Abacus, a rudimentery counting device and the earliest form of a computer, was an Arab invention).

Also you comment about 'exploding belts' is very out of place. Westerners, as well as Easterners use suicide bombs. Take these non-Muslim suicide bombers for example:
The Japanese Kamikaze
The Mideval Petards
Etc.

Answer 3

Not to make use of modern technology would be a but like cutting off the nose to spite the face.
I think it might help if you talked to some Muslims and found out why they hate the west so much.
The other issue arising from your question is whether we want to be judged by the activities of some extremists in out society. I wouldn't think either the British or the Americans would. The close links between the military, the conservatives and the fundamentalists scare me rigid.

Answer 9

Why don't go read a real book about Muslims, and not the papers.
show everybody that you have intelligence and don't just follow the crowd.
I'm a proud Muslim revert and English is my first language, Muslim does not equal foreigner.

Answer 10

It has little to do with inventions. Everything to do with the fact that part of us supports Israel, and are Christian. The other parts engage in behaviors they see as sinful according to their book the koran. They see the influence as a threat, yet they keep moving here.
