"What did we do to make them so angry at US?"

[Meathead]

They hate us and want us dead.
Who?... Muslims.A lot of them.

Why....

Who the fuck knows at this point.

You guys don't understand why Muslim extremists hate America? We kill their people every day and have been doing so for years. We support Israel, a country that kills Muslims nearly everyday and oppresses them every day and has done so for decades.

Give a good reason why they should not hate America.

Because Islam is a religion of peace? ROTFLMAO!!

Which nation-state is currently the greatest purveyor of violence on the planet?
If you're stumped by that one, how many children have Muslims murdered in your hometown?

 

[Skull Pilot]

wonder if they are contemplating this at the Friday Harvard Afternoon Tea or Happy Hour? That's all we heard when US was being attacked during the Bush years. Drink up 1% Harvard!!

Well the US has been meddling in the affairs of Middle East countries for more than half a century now.

We've hopped into bed with more people than a two dollar whore in our attempts to control the region. Oh and let's not forget the tens or hundreds of thousands we have killed and are still killing.

I'd say they have a right to be pissed at us wouldn't you?

Doubtlessly thousands. My hometown is Athens, Greece, occupied by Muslims for about 350 years. You got anything else?

Certainly not in the past, but Christianity has evolved into a religion of the third millennium. Islam, though a more recent religion, is mired in medieval vengeance and hatred. Certainly even an old bitty like yourself could understand that.

"Sunni extremists are believed to be behind the cafe bombing, which may be an attempt to destabilize the Shiite-led government. According to The Christian Science Monitor, 'The divide between Sunni and Shiite Iraqis that brought the country to civil war has widened again recently, with many Sunni Iraqis saying the Shiite-led government has discriminated against them since Saddam [Hussein] fell.'”

I think you're pretty close since Sunni and Shia weren't bombing each other in Iraq until we destroyed their country. I think you're confused about us leaving since we have an embassy the size of the Vatican and thousands of hired guns guarding it. Do you really believe Muslims will continue to die at the hands of US weapons without some of them bringing the fight here?

Pre-election violence rocks Baghdad, capped with cafe bombing today - CSMonitor.com

Oh, one more thing

They are killing each other.....

Get it

They hate everyone ( I know this is a hard concept to understand) who ain't THEM

By "they" do you mean Iraqis?
"They" have never killed each other on this scale since their country was formed.
The destruction of their country by an illegal US invasion is why they are killing each other today.
It's a logical consequence of murdering, maiming, and displacing millions of innocent Iraqis.
What part of that don't you get?

The answer to that question is the same as it has always been. Before Obama, before Bush, and possibly even before Clinton.

It isn't a all-encompassing answer, it doesn't speak for the intentions of every single muslim terrorist, but it covers the general reasons.

The answer is that we are NOT a Muslim nation, and we are the most powerful nation both in the military and economic arenas. Naturally, that makes us the target.

For Islamic extremists, getting the entire world into the Muslim faith is their goal, and we are a major obstacle.

Well all I can say is this...Why don't all you bleeding hearts on here pack your things and go live with your Islamist pals in one of their wonderfully free countries? I'm sure you'll all be made welcome especially the women....You're obviously halfway to converting by the sounds of it so go the whole hog and give all of us here a break :-D Take your pretend American president with you....
You won't be missed...

All the blind patriotism in the world will not change the fact that we have been interfering in the Middle East for over 50 years.

We've backed and armed anyone we thought would secure our control on the region and innocent people have paid the price.

They have every reason in the world to want revenge.

We brought this on ourselves but will not admit it.

Same answer: the greatest purveyor of violence on the planet.

"Writer Joost R. Hiltermann has said the United States government and U.S. State Department was particularly important in helping their then ally the Saddam Hussein government in avoiding any serious censure for the campaign and in particular the attack on rebels and civilians in the city of Halabja. Hiltermann writes; 'The deliberate American prevarication on Halabja was the logical, although probably undesired, outcome of a pronounced six-year tilt toward Iraq, seen as a bulwark against the perceived threat posed by Iran's zealous brand of politicized Islam."

We are also the nation state that has maimed, murdered, incarcerated, and displaced millions of Muslim civilians over the past twenty years. They are not seeking to convert you, they want you to stop murdering their children.

Since the end of WWII, at least.
During all that time the US dollar has served as the world's reserve currency.
If that ever changes, then we will not be able to wage war on the opposite side of the globe.
Which leaves Mexico...so far from God...so close to Wall Street.

Why....

Who the fuck knows at this point.

Drone strikes that kill hundreds of innocent women and children, occupying their countries and killing more innocents while engaging "insurgents" will never win us any friends. If another country were to occupy the US they'd have a huge "insurgent" problem as well.

This bs about them hating us because of our freedoms is just that......bs

There's nothing wrong with us trying to understand why a group of people hate us. In fact, it could go a long way towards ending the problem.

I could add many things to your list. From their perspective, for example, we're in there trying to dilute and weaken their sacred religion with a vile western culture that values consumption more than God; from their perspective, we leave our own shores to prop up regimes that we later tear down, neither of which is our right; from their perspective, we lay waste to their land with our bombs; from their perspective, we put hundreds of thousands of our troops on their land whenever we damn well feel like it, and kill anyone who tries to stop us.

Does anyone want to deny any of the above?

Would anyone not fight back if they came here and did the above to us?

Does anyone want to deny that if we had kept our fucking noses out of their business for the last few decades, things would be different?'

Today, now, and over the past decades, we, America, kill, almost on a daily basis, Muslim people, including innoncent people, including women, children and the elderly. Now, not in the past, now. And all your attempts at personal insults prove is that your intellectual ideas alone have no power, so you have to wrap them up in mudballs and sling them wildly. Pathetic.

You come off very much like a stereotypical dingbat old bitty trying to parse her "worldliness" into a deep understanding of global events. I can only go by what you write. If I am wrong, then a thousand pardons.
