Why do they hate us? Buchanan says it's all because of our support for Israel.

Is this vandalism related to that conflict? Is the attempt on Popes life related to the Pope placing his soldiers on the Saudi soil </ sarcasm>?

The failure to modernize made Mussulmans impotent, which in turn produced hatred of all things Western. This vandalism shows that quite well.

Not in this case. To start with, those British servicemen were not defending Armenians - the British did not defend the Armenians during the Turkish genocide - they were defending Azerbijani oil fields. Recent events, which have brought British troops back to the Middle East to defend oil fields, have stirred up ill feeling.

Also, get your facts right about Israel, Turkey and the Armenian genocide. Israel is allied with Turkey, and its goverment has a policy of disavowing the massacres of the Armenians.
