The vitriolic hatred of the United States in some parts of the Arab world has left many Americans bewildered. ‘If they hate us so bitterly,’ the thinking goes, ‘we must have wronged them. Otherwise they would not be so intent on harming us. We must have given them good reasons for that.’
We would do well to remember, however, that this is not the first time America is the object of such hatred. Not even fifteen years ago, we were maligned in much the same way by the Soviets and their allies who treated us daily to hefty doses of seemingly boundless malevolence.

How about a poll of what we think of them?
...Why Do They Hate Us So Much?...
Cuz they're idiots, kill em!
Only dims/LIEberals/American AMerica-Hater even consider such a stupid question.
That's probably why they hate me so much..
The left cannot accept the fact that "THEY" hate us for purely religious reasons because "The Left" is so anti-religious, as to discount the beliefs of the terrorists. To The Left, it MUST be based on socio-economic reasons, an nothing else. The Left is so biased against reasonable thought processes concerning the WOT, they are blind to the truth.......
Oops! When I saw the title, I clicked to read it thinking I'd see another article about the Democrats. My bad.
I can see how you might make that assumption. After all, the terrorists and the Democrats have common goals. ;)
What a navel-gazing question. They don't just hate us, they hate everyone. There is no "reason" why.
Because we have all the good ideas and cool toys.
Actually it is our secular humanism, the very thing the LEFT claims to champion, which they hate.
It is spiritual. Like the Romans, Hitler, Stalin, Satan, etc., Christians and Jews are a threat to insanity and must be eliminated or their big, big plan won't work right.
But hey, you figured it out. ;-)
Well said.
That's pretty much it, short and simple. Among the masses of followers, of course, there's considerable jealousy of our freedom and prosperity, and embarrassment--translated to resentment--that their own societies are so poor and backward.
"What a navel-gazing question. They don't just hate us, they hate everyone. There is no "reason" why."
Above all they hate themselves....and for good reason.
Exactly.
They hate us because we represent everything they fear.
A free and open society.
Equality of the sexes.
Dogs. Pork. Liquor. Everything their founder Mohammad attacked.
They hate us MORE now, thanks to "globalism", the internet, cable TV and the fact that they can see everything we have and just how much it conflicts with their primitive ideas of an ideal society.
That depends on whether those elected to power are islamic hardliners or not. Just because a government is duly elected by voters doesn't mean islam will just fade away.
Don't care why they hate. Let 'em hate as long as they also fear. Destroy Islamofascism and its adherents!
