<< Look at some of the reasons OBL stated that he hates the US.
Infidels on the "holy land" in Sadia Arabia. He doesn't state that he does not want foriegn troops there. He states it as kaffirs on holy land as being wrong. If he was not Muslim that would not be the issue. >>
saoudi arabia is a nation which has a large number of foreign troops, most nations with similar conditions have also resistance against this: northern ireland being a good example.
<< The problems in Israel. Once again you have a problem with people of different religions trying to occupy the same area. If religion was not involved the problems would not be nearly as bad. Who gets to control Jersualem being one of the sticking points to peace. >>
this is not a strictly muslim problem, because a large number of palestinians are christian, and while you don't see as much media coverage on that, i'm sure there's a bunch of extremists amonst them too.
<< Iraq. Everyone admits that Saddam is not a good Muslim and is not concerned with the welfare of his people. But the Arab nations of the region will not sanction action against him, Why? because he is a fellow Muslim and Arab. >>
can you give a list of the nations that don't underscribe the UN sanctions?
<< Do all Muslims in the ME hate the US, of course not. Do the ones that do use their religion as part of the reason for their hate. It appears so to me. >>
most religious nutcases use their religion to defend their cause, whether they be christian, muslim, jewish, or marsian.
