Good grief, I know that.
They hate us because we didn't follow President Washington's advice to avoid foreign entanglements.
And so we've become mixed-up in Mideast politics and its terrorism.
No, those are just excuses made by their apologists.
They'd hate us whether we had foreign entanglements or not.
Their mission is to conquer the entire world and convert those who will do so, and slay those who won't.
Good point. I think that is part of the reason, but it would appear to me to be mostly about us not being muslims. Note that every place in the world where you have any sizable muslim population, you find terrorism. What foreign entanglements led to terrorism in the Philipines, or Indonesia? I'm not trying to pick a fight, just trying to clarify. I agree that we are a target because our governement thinks we should be the policeman of the world, but the larger reason behind it IMO is that islam itself is varelse, which is the best way I've seen to describe it.
See This page and this page for a good description of the term, "varelse". Some times existing language isn't adequite to the task of describing things, at such times, new words are invented to handle the task.
