Americans are still puzzled over why well-off Islamic fundamentalists crashed planes into skyscrapers .......
I read somewhere that tall man made structures are un-Islamic as they resemble phallic structure. There women folk are not allowed to even look at it as it might corrupt their mind and give them evil ideas. That was also the reason why Bamiyan Buddahs were raised by the Taliban. Even the Petronas Towers in Malaysia are considered un-Islamic by their clerics.
They even have a 'Satanic Tower' in Mecca where the devout muslims are supposed to throw stones. They actually hate anybody who aren't like them.
I've also heard that one of the things about the Jewish settlements that drives Muslims crazy is that they tend to be on hills, thus "higher" than Muslim areas. Can't have dirty Jews "above" them, you see.
