I would, yes. But in our culture we are encouraged to ask why. In theirs, all the Imam has to do is say we are evil, and they won't question it. It's very easy to whip a mob to an irrational frenzy; history is replete with examples.

But you forget that bin Laden is a hero, in the radical Muslim world... he is akin to Elvis in America. He is worshipped. And the people LISTENED to his rantings against America. People all over the Middle East are waiting breathlessly for his death, so they can martyr him. He is a legend, a hero, and he wants to kill America.

To clarify: I would question why I am to hate them...I would not simply, mindlessly follow. I think my earlier post may have been unclear.
