they hate us. 9/11 was done before Iraq, Syria, ISIS, ect. Why did they hate us back then? Over 2800 people died that day for absolutely no reason. There is a strain of fanatical Islam that is simply intolerant of anyone that is not a Muslim. Or isn't the right kind of Muslim. Remember the biggest loss of life is the 1400 year old war before Sunni and Shia. That one is never going to stop.
And even if we nailed down a reason, why should we have to change a damn thing? Normal groups are able to talk about their differences without flying airplanes into buildings, or stabbing a bunch of random strangers in a mall.
So the question becomes: What are you willing to give up to get them to stop hating us in the west? A large part of what they don't like is that we are Infidels. We don't follow their faith. Are you willing to convert? Are you willing to allow the gays in your life to be hung, or thrown off buildings, like they do in Saudi Arabia and Iran ("In Iran we do not have this phenomenon"
?
Would you be OK with seeing womens rights curtailed?
They hate us for a lot of reasons. And some of those reasons are perfectly OK. If the choice is between being loved by fanatics or letting my vote and drive, I'd rather be hated by the fanatics.
