Was Al Qaeda provoked to attack the US for what we do not what we are?

Question

Clarification,
Imagine a country with an imperialistic and militaristic foreign policy on US soil. How would you respond?

Answer 1

Al Qeada was formed and financed by the CIA. Osama was the patsy in order to give Bush the backing to go to multiple wars in the middle east.
The main reason we are hated and attacked is because of our military stationed in their holy lands. Saudi Arabia was the first violation to their beliefs. Our air bases that are constructed in their lands has caused great unrest.
As with most people in the world they do not hate a country or people because of their way of life. A country's action is what insights hatred.
Another reason is our blind support for Israel we support them even when they commit acts of terrorism on the Palestine's people. We do nothing but continue to subsidize them.
This country needs to grow up and quit believeing in the FAUX news we get before we all turn into nazi pricks like Bill o Reilly.

Answer 2

I answered those questions right after 9/11 in an editorial I wrote for my college’s newspaper.

The truth is Al-Qaeda didn’t attack the us because of what we are, rather because of what they THINK we are. & also not because of what we do, rather because of what they BELIEVE we do!

Most of the Al-Qaeda members think of the US as this evil crusading kingdom pretty much like Europe in the middle ages! They don’t seem do realize that America is a free country who respects the freedom of religion. & that many Muslims live safely in the US & enjoy life better than many modern Muslim countries.

Most of Al-Qaeda members believe in the conspiracy theory & suffer deep double thinking problem. They used to complain that America is so picky with Iraq & is so willing to attack it for any reason or even no reason. On the other hand, America allows the Serbs to murder Muslims in Bosnia or Kosovo. It’s a new crusade (they say). Then when America attacked the Serbs & Milosevic, he became a hero in their propaganda. They began to say stuff like “Maybe Milosevic is a butcherer, but he’s a real brave man who stood against the American arrogance!”

The very root of the Al-Qaeda’s madness against America is the propaganda of Saddam Hussein. Bin Laden didn’t accept the opinion of the Saudi clergy, who saw no problem in getting assistance from the US to defend Saudi Arabia. He accepted Saddam’s propaganda instead & saw such a relation with the US is the worst thing a Muslim would ever do!

First, there replaced into little or no threat, that the paper-skinny, alu airplanes ought to certainly knock out some huge homes, designed to stand up to the worst achievable hurricanes and actual plane impacts. Ben encumbered known lots early on, astonished and baffled by utilising the fulfillment of the challenge. That the gas of the planes burned so warm, that the great steel girders of the development interior the best tiers, the place the planes hit, made the complete homes fall down, remains unexplained. Like different terrorist assaults in the previous, like with the SS Cole or the suicide bombers, this human beings belong to hate communities, which looked interior the early 70's first in Europe. considering 1970, hate communities had great fulfillment with hijacking airplanes or homes (Entebbe, Munich olympics). they are youthful guy, lead by utilising some older maniacs (generally with a non secular hide). The Baader-Meinhof team replaced into the 1st of the sought after powerful hate communities, look it up. Ben encumbered has only copied from their books. Supported by utilising dark money adult males, from rogue countries like Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Libya, Iran, Russia, adult males like Ben encumbered are degenerated minds, which get off on destruction. they are undeniable ill freaks. Their followers are only defective lemmings, like we've in each and every society. look at that 3 people who died a pair of days in the past interior the sweat lodge incident right here interior the u . s .. mindless lemmings, following the learning of a complete fool. We, as a society, have nevertheless aspects of the Dinosaurus brains left. there is not any purpose for this communities, yet destruction of any form. The destruction is the purpose, no longer any complicated reaction to it.

Answer 4

They attacked us because they are unhappy with the state of the Arab world, and have convinced themselves it is our fault. Our policies may not have been beneficial to most of the people in the middle east, but they are not the primary cause of their misery either. It is human nature to blame others for your own failings, and AL Qaeda has carried this to an extreme, and are living in a fantasy world where the US and the West is the root of all evil.

Answer 5

What we do, and did, is much the same as what they do.
The Muslims from the various Mideast countries have been emigrating to other countries and attempting to spread their influence and power throughout history. They have used conquest, population, and forced conversion, as well as money and terrorism to do this.
If there is any doubt as to the veracity of this statement, look at modern southern Spain. Look at the churches in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
People are people, and it doesn't matter what nationality or religion they are, they will all try to control the world if they can.
Right now, the people in the Mideast have power, oil, and they are using it to extend their influence and power. We, are doing the same thing, by trying to control that oil, and them, and we will continue to do so as long as it is in our interest to do so, or until they clearly win.
Al Qaeda, is just an organized group, trying to get more power. The thing that is disturbing to us, is that they are more than willing to destroy themselves to this end. They would like to destroy us, and they will use whatever tool becomes available to them, whether it is religion or oil, money, or the lives of their members.
It's all about power and control, and it always has been.

Answer 6

You are not a DA. You are asking a question, in a forum that is about asking questions. Don't listen to the jerks that hide behind their mean ways and don't accept emails.

Yes, to some extent we were attacked for our actions. Israel, Christianity, radical Islam, history, the world chessboard all played into it. And your question is at the heart of our foreign policy right now.

I think the question is: What are we going to do now?

Answer 7

Their fight is really with the Saudi Royal Family and their Monarchy if they attacked us because we used to have a base in Riyadh. Who was paying us large sums to help maintain that base there? Hmmm? And frankly, it seems a bit silly to still blame the USA for "corrupting" their royal family.

It's classic displacement. They can't bring themselves to blame their own Government and so they blame the foreign "infidels".

People here use that kind of faulty logic often too. Sad really.

Answer 8

Geez.. even as of 9-11 we *were NOT* on *any* soil connected with Al Qaeda.... Nor were we on their soil when the USS Cole was attacked, nor the Embancy attackes, the first World Trade Center bombings, or the *MANY* other attacks against the US or our citizens....
So your answer is NO...... DA

Answer 9

We are in Saudi Arabia by invitation. You might as well say the bank robber is justified to rob the bank because it was built in a poor neighborhood. The proper method would have been to deal with his own countries government that extended the invitation not us.

You are a victim begging to be victimized.

Answer 10

I don't know if "provoked" is the right word ... they are, after all, a bunch of wacked-out islamaniacs. But yes, the so-called motivation, according to Osama himself, was the presence of US military bases in Saudi Arabia.

I think Osama lies, even to his own followers, about his motives (see link), but he's pretty good at using the Koran to manipulate them.
