I lived in Saudi Arabia for a while in the nineties.
When the Muslims call the United States the great Satan they are not referring to just pornography or booze, or wars.

Their imams expound long and hard about all the divisions of western culture. Movies. Sports. Gourmet cooking. Playing music. Dancing. Ice skating. Driving in the country, swimming in a lake or pool. Fishing.

On and on and on.

Islam teaches a harsh life of self denial, spending time in prayer, in meditation, and in memorizing the Koran and the Hadith.

So.their hate extends to every pleasant pastime which offers diversion and entertainment. And the reason is that it dilutes the time spent deepening commitment to Allah. Any and every diversion competes with Islam.

Go spend some time over there and pay attention to what goes on around.

If you return alive you will have a deeper understanding of what drives their hatred.

I didn't think ANYONE listened to the imams.
Being STINKING rich kind of took the edge off of most militant Islam.

Yet we are always learning that the Saudi, Iranian and other Muslims puritans partake in all these activities. Most of them are just massive hypocrites who are not spending all their waking hours devoted to allah. Frauds.

After spending time in Dubai and Bahrain and observing Muslims drinking to excess, cavorting with beautiful Western girls, and partying in nightclubs, I'm convinced most Muslims are sinners themselves.
