    What I'm saying is that thinking 911 helped Palestinians is stupid and that
    thinking the main reason Muslims hate Americans more than they love life is
    because of alleged mistreatment of a people they've never seen is baloney.

    > And before 911, the status quo was good?

    No, the Islamic leaders America supported were brainless thugs, the Islamic
    leaders America opposed were brainless thugs too. Islam has had nothing
    but brainless thugs leading them for 800 years and some would like
    to blame America for that too..

    No, democracy doesn't cut both ways, democracy always sucks.

    By listening to their words, such as that great man of peace and religious
    tolerance Osama bin Laden:

    "Jihad is allowed against infidels like the Jews, Christians and atheists"

    " Our enemy, the target -- if God gives Muslims the opportunity to do so-
      is every American male"

    "The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies--civilians and military--
     is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in
     which it is possible to do it"

    And 911 proved he's not just talk too.

    > Sure, go ahead, pick a fight with a people

    We didn't pick a fight with anyone, we didn't ram airliners into
    skyscrapers, they did, and now they would do well to remember that Islam has
    not won a war with the west or even a battle in centuries.

    >Pretty much all they want you to do is stop fucking with them.

    Bullshit.
