how can you win a battle when you face an envy based hatred? Remember that sexy commercial "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful?" It was some hair or makeup product.
Some gorgeous babe-ette comes on looking all slinky and yummy and asks other women NOT to hate her...
IMPOSSIBLE. Women hate other women who they see as their betters, which makes them feel inferior, often angry and jealous. They see another woman in a sexy skirt, and whisper to their friend "look at that slut. Disgusting."
Men do the same thing in their own way. It's not just a gender thing. Muslims have some real hangups that precipitate this hatred of us, and they really cannot be cured anymore than a leopard can be cured by its' spots... well that is unless skinning is an option.
It makes no difference what you do they will still hate you because these muslims KNOW we are their betters culturally (of course). Their culture is a failure, for a very long time, stuck in the dark ages. And what's more their culture/religion guarantees that this can never change. Allah doesn't handle change very well, it seems.
It's not like we can become stupid or ugly enough culturally to make these folks like us. They LOVE the hatred like addicts love the needle. Without us to hate they would need to find new targets for their bloodlust, anger and angst of humiliation.
These muslims hate us because we are in a way, more beautiful. We have the beauty of freedom, choices they cannot make, and forms of worship they could never grasp in their culture. We have a very tolerant world view (as evidenced by their existence) and the wealths that only free thinking people can enjoy.
They hate us because our women are often beautiful, intelligent and NOT ashamed about it. They hate that we can drink two glasses of wine with a great meal, and leave it at that. They hate us for our demonstrable acts of self-control and restraint. Even though we don't always act that way, the ideal of it and often the actual doing of it, pervades our culture.
They hate us because we make them feel inferior. They themselves constantly whine about our "humiliation" of them as a culture... whilst they practice banging two sticks together, not loudly however, for loud noises and fancy music offend allah...
Basically, they hate america because every beautiful thing about her, is what they can never be, never have or even dare to want... it is against their religion to BE like us, and it drives them insane.
They cannot be changed. They cannot see reasonableness, because by and large that is a moral weakness in their faith. When a religion has as its cheif tenets, inflexible moral hatred of those who do not obey YOUR GOD... it's kinda hard to NOT hate those who are different, and more beautiful than you.
We cannot make them love us by being ugly like them. They will kill us if we don't kill them first. What else can we do? Sacrifice ourselves and our progeny on the altar of their hatred? I don't think so.
We are going to have to follow good advice by people who know and kill the bad guys before they do it to us. And that may be a very large number of folks. More than our religion finds tolerable. Maybe the arabs are right, perhaps our tolerance will be our downfall.
It IS time for the idea of civil defense/citizen militias to take root and be in action. Long overdue.
