Not being a Muslim brings the hatred. They hate other Muslims too. Don’t waste your time trying to figure out why they [al Qaeda] hate. They are unworthy of our time. They’ll say anything about motives that might spin things their way. They’re evil sociopaths; it’s pure and simple. I don't disagree... but, where do the recruits come from? How do these teenagers from egypt decide they hate the US so much that they want to die fighting us?
I believe that if we had minded out own business for the last 50 years that there would not be Egyptian teenagers wanting to die fighting us.
I made my first visit to France in 1959, that wasn’t 50 years ago but close. The French hated Americans in 1959, they were horribly rude to American tourist. Why? I never have figured out. That wasn’t that far after we saved their bacon from Hitler. Is that why they hated us because they knew they owed us?
It’s a little easier to figure why Muslims hate us, it’s because we aren’t Muslims and don’t want to be. Staying out of their country isn’t going to change that. Face it, nothing we can do is going to make them like us. Electing Ron Paul president is not going to do it either.
