Hi every one!

I am a middle eastern student living in the US. And I pay my taxes and tuitions to US schools.

I have a simple question and it is being asked so many times but sounds fresh to ask...

Why do the mideastern dislike/hate America?

I hope I can get some wise answer on this. Thanks every one! GOOD DAY...

Hi!

[JPJones]

Well I know lot's of Americans rack their brains worrying about this...I don't know why. At this point in history I don't care who mid-easterners like or dislike. Goes for Europeans as well.

They haven't been to Disneyland.

Why do the mideastern dislike/hate America?

Because we are breathing. I get some news for you mid-easterners better start worrying about American public opinion going totally negative towards them. One more attack on American soil will do it.

[old and tired]

You're the middle easterner. You tell us.

Middle Eastern men see the lives US men lead and want that lifestyle and know they can not achieve it.

Men are competitive people. "If I can't have it, then you can't either" is a common emotion that men have. Western men have the training and mental discipline to overcome/mitigate this emotion.

Many foreigners do not.

JP, is that you? Where were you at the Jones family reunion, boy?

[HhH]

Thanks my smart friend!

Better yet, ask if we care now. For so many decades, Americans did care what the world thought, but no matter what we did, the propaganda went against us. We are seen as the resevoir of the world's evils.

Against that, I think Americans are to the point where damned if you do and damned if you don't, we no longer care who hates us or dislikes us.

[HhH]

And how about your blind support for Israel?

As in Virginia? Well they hate America 'cause their football team sucks and every fall they get their @$$ whooped big time.

From time to time I read/hear that MiddleEastern Muslims "feel humiliated" by the Outside World. Can you shed some light on that?

[xJones]

Against that, I think Americans are to the point where damned if you do and damned if you don't, we no longer care who hates us or dislikes us.

Listen to Opusat, he's right.

[OpusatFR]

SHE is right.... ( ;

Isreal is the only democracy in the Middle East.

Hmmm...are you trolling for some quotes to use against FR? Why would YOU (a middle easterner) be asking US (Americans) why you hate us? Ask your family and friends...

But I will tell you this: the Muslim Barbary States were holding Americans for ransom EVEN BEFORE WE WERE A COUNTRY (back in 1786). No Israel; no Saudi Arabia; no oil. So now I ask you: why? (Hint: read the Koran).

[SaveTheChief]

That's a very interesting question. Since I (like many here, I assume) have never been to the Middle East, and since I do not know many people from the Middle East, I think you are probably more qualified to answer your own question.

So what is it? Why do so many from the Middle East dislike and/or hate us?

[old and tired]

I don't think support of Israel is blind. I think most thinking informed Americans look at Israel as a bastion of sanity in the Middle East. All the other countries look like they're in the stone age - The women are almost always dressed right out of the middle ages and the men are running around screaming "death to Jews!" or some nonsense.

Even after 3000 of our citizens were killed by radical Muslims, it would still be looked at as strange if whole crowds of US citizens began chanting "death to Muslims!"

[knarf]

old and tired asked the question most appropriate for your question.I scratch my head too, wondering what your really after.

What part of Middle Eastern are you from?

Why do you want us to answer that question?

Sorry, HhH, you don't make sense.
