On the contrary. This is a PERFECT description of the resentment of ordinary Muslims and their religious leaders.
Envy may not be the only reason for Muslim contempt, but it's the primary reason.
That's what the pundits want you to beleive sinkspur. It is way to simplistic and primal to be true. Muslim's as a civilization are much more sophisticated than that. You and many on FR spew the same nonsense, the Muslims hate us for our glorious virtues.
Most of the states of the Middle East are - "client-states" of the West. All these countries with the exceptions of Libya after Qadhafi's ascent to power, Syria after the installation of the Ba'athist Party regime, and Iran after the Islamic revolt are run by "native elites" that owe their allegiance to the United States -from the Saudi royal family in the Arabian Peninsula, to the Hashemites in Jordan and all the other so-called "royal houses" in Kuwait, Bahrain, Quatar, etc. All these countries and the elites that rule over them were "created" specifically to service the interests of the Western oil companies at the expense of the native populations. An essential part of the strategy was that the oil elites (acting under the authority and power of occupier of that era, Great Britain) drew the boundaries of the various nations there during the 1920s and 1930s. It was done in a manner designed to insure the separation of the large population centers of the area from those vicinities where the oil was actually located. This skewed ownership of property in one of the world's wealthiest and most heavily armed regions is a festering wound to the Arab's and is a vital source of discontent towards the West. What this division means is that control of the sparsely-populated oil-producing areas has fallen into the hands of a system of local elites known as the "ARAB FACADE", a series of weak and extremely pliable "family dictatorships" that are compliant with the wishes of the Western oil companies, while the population centers have been detached and given over to the mobs.
The hatred of America is not based on virtue as the pundits explain, rather it is a bonified hatred towards American oil elites(globalism) which is plundering their economic wealth and supporting family dictatorships that torture and murder them, that is the true cause and direction of their hate. Moslem fundementalism is feeding off of this exploitation, just like Hitler did in the 1920's and 30's after the allies exploited Germany at Versailles. This cycle of violence will never end.
