I tip my hat to whoever finally has said this out loud....Or written it down and shared.   I have been banging my head against a wall every time I see something that has yet again, come out of Hypocritical America. HELLO....WE ARE THE PROBLEM. Why cant more people understand this.  They dont hate us because we are ''free''.  They hate us because we come and invade, occupy and ruin their way of life.   I am not an expert on Middle Eastern History, but I am sure they have been at whatever it is they have been at for a long while.  For whatever reason their war is a Holy War.   We are too bull headed to tolerate differences.  They are too angry at this point not to riot.   We are all not assholes.  There are more then a few of us who believe that WE ARE the issue.   It is not because I love Muslims, their way of life and how they govern.  It is because we have our own shit going on here.  The only reason we bother them is to continue them is because we are getting antsy over the oil situation.   We must learn how to tolerate each other's religious differences.  Which starts with the Christians.  The Radical ones especially. If you trace a line through each belief or religion at the very core are personal moral values and ''god'' or symbol of peace. Their religion allows them to beat and/or kill their spouse if she does not become submissive(from how I understand it).  Is that a wrong?  In our eyes absolutely.  Yet, it goes back to this is how they have been doing things for hundreds of years.  You can not change this structured way of living.  I am sure that the women learn how to cope(Their would need to be an almost womens liberation push, but by them, not us).  Does it warrant us going in and making threats, I really dont think so.   9/11 was an inside job.  If you you believe other wise, I am so sorry the reality of that has not sunk in.  The proof is in the facts....And what they did not say during the 9-11 commission report.  Why do you think Bush kinda glossed over the fact that ''Mission Complete'' meant Bin Laden was still alive and well, and we just scored more oil for us. I hope the Muslim world understands their are some Americans(Christian Americans at that)who are totally horrified by the way we have treated them.   The Holocaust was genocide to Jews, Gypsies, and anyone that was White White. The Holy War has been going for hundreds of years. Our Part in that holy war has been genocide to the Middle East(because we need their resources).  Warranted by an inside ''Terror Attack''. I get why they hate us.  I fear their back lash will be horrifying.  We have it coming to us though. 

You don't get to comment on religion in the Middle East.  The Religious Police will come and get you if you 1) Say something 2) Wear something 3) Tweet/Post/Upload something or 4) Associate with people that are deemed troublemakers.   Penalties for blasphemy are death.  All laws are written from the Q'uran and Sharia Law is an absolute.   Given that scenario, you see that the crowd has no tolerance for anyone anywhere doing anything to disrespect it. It's culturally acceptable to murder someone for honor.  It's culturally acceptable to beat your wife and children when they don't show proper respect.  Male dominated, 14th century ideals.... with 21st century weapons.  Can't get worse for 1st Amendment rights in Pakistan.  The internet has allowed the cleric rabble rousers to find objectionable content in America 24/7.   This latest riot is just "opportunity".   South Park,   Charlie Hebdo.  Youtube.   All of them had anti-Islamic stuff.   It's just now that "Death to America" riots are popular again.   Remember 9/11 ?   Palestinians were dancing in the streets. Our way and their way are incompatible.  This friction is not going to disappear unless the 1st Amendment dies, the internet disappears, or Islam learns how to take a joke.

Read All the Shah's Men by Stephen Kinzer, then yourself how Americans would feel if the tides were reversed.
