Why the Muslim extremists hate us?

QUOTE from George Bernard Shaw: "Hatred is the coward's revenge for being intimidated."

I'm a contributing memeber to "The Southern Poverty Law Center" located in Montgomery, Alabama. The center is a watchdog organiztion which identifies and studies the various extremists and hate groups in the U.S. Four times a year I get their INTELLIGENCE REPORT magazine - it is very enlightling but also very scary.

The fall issue of the magazine zeroed in on ten of the most militant extremist Muslin radicals in the U.S. These ten are some scary people and want to cause mayhem and death to as many Americans as they can. What I looked for in reading all ten articles is WHY do they hate us so much? Here is what I LEARNED.

1. Probably #1 reason for their hatred is our support of the nation of Israel. All ten are violently anti-Jewish and would wipe Israel off the map and kill every Jew if they could.

2. Another leading cause of their hatred is our invasion of Iraq in 2003.
And then when the Abu Ghraib prison tortures of Muslims was made public in 2004 a lot of fuel was added to their hatred of the U.S.

3. Some of the other reasons I picked up were the refusal to let them build an Islamic mosque in New York City. And when Pastor Terry Jones burned a Koran in his small Gainsville, Fla., church that was more fuel. And outright bullying, intimidation, and harassment of innocent Muslims living in the U.S. has added more fuel.

4. Another reason is simply the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. To them this is the land of the Arab Muslims and America has absolutely no business being there.

The hatred toward the U.S. expressed by these ten is so total that if they had their way they would destroy us. I do not expect we will see another 9/11 but there will be violence inside our borders and death to AMERICANS at some time in the near future. We can be grateful for the great job the FBI has done so far in stopping these but just wait......
HUMOR for today: "Some days you're the dog, some days you're the hydrant."
