....raiding ships to take booty, does not constitute hatred of a nation.

Perhaps. But to claim that the person you robbed or killed deserved to be robbed or killed by reason of not being Muslim is, in modern parlance, a "Hate Crime".

[bigsigh]

with some historical context and common sense, ships were pirated all around the world during that era. As the famous bank robber said "because that's where the money is."

To try to equate this with modern terrorism and lay it on the Christian-Moslem hostilities seems convoluted at best.
