His book "Milestones" spells out his hate for western civilization and our freedoms in miserably exhausting detail. <br /><br />That isn't to say they don't also hate us for all the other reasons you listed - they do. But it is incorrect to say that al Qaeda and the Salafist movement do not hate us for our freedoms.CWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-57539864252449217582010-08-18T01:45:17.903-05:002010-08-18T01:45:17.903-05:00... and let gays marry.

Perhaps the gov't is really trying to get rid of freedom (and civil rights) so enemies have nothing to envy and they'll just go away:P They just forgot to tell most Americans.Cass Morrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562393261839375741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8243351006478134285.post-56512793033230667462010-08-17T05:03:53.704-05:002010-08-17T05:03:53.704-05:00I think you understated the historical aspect of t...I think you understated the historical aspect of their hatred. Most of that part of the world is illiterate so their traditions are all oral. When that happens significant events, say the crusades 700-900 years ago don’t happen so far in the past, they happen recently, just out of peoples direct memory, say, your grand dad was involved. So when Shrub speaks up about our crusade against terrorism they all get a twitch.Thordrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02483497564571489980noreply@blogger.com
