Envy may not be the only reason for Muslim contempt, but it's the primary reason.

Where do you get these absurd notions?

Just because you're a braindead American doesn't mean the rest of the world isn't full of folks -- however rich or poor, ignorant or educated -- who've sufficient common sense to recognize you and your culture as hopelessly dead-eyed decadent.

It must be a heavy burden you bear to be so estranged from your culture. Are you really as unhappy a person as you so often sound?

My personal opinion is that in many ways, American culture is less decadent than it once was. Folks as a whole used to be far more brutal in their prejudices, ignorance and bigotry than is largely true at present. And in many ways the average American is more polite and considerate than was true a couple of generations ago. Nor despite the rhetoric, do I think our culture today is more a culture of death than it was in some age past; indeed, I think the reverse is true.

Yea, Askel.

The goatherders are murdering us because WE'RE decadent!

At least Jerry Falwell had the decency to apologize when he blamed his fellow citizens for the death of other citizens.

You're PROUD of your contempt for America!

Have you ever seen Islamic students on campuses? They are not at all Puritanic, they drink, they pick up any whore they can find and you'll find plenty of Arabs in Las Vegas with their gaudy gold jewelry. Look at their over-expensive houses and cars and you'll see true decadence. Besides if it was decadence they were after, they'd have attacked Europe----maybe Amsterdam. Even here, they went after innocent people in NY City and they certainly know where San Francisco and Hollywood are and they left them alone.
