Que the "they hate us because we're free" crowd.
The foreign policy of the US government is the cause of most of the trouble.
Ever wonder why no one attacks the Swiss? Why is that? Could it be because they mind their own business??? Not the US though, we stick our noses in ever wasp nest around and then bi*ch about being stung.
Fair enough but citing your personal opinion and pooping on a Gallup Poll doesn't lend much weight to your position.
No. They've attacked us before when we stayed out of their affairs. In fact, if you ask a lot of the ISIS types, they'll even tell you that's not the reason.
Look at ISIS and examine the type of government they want to set up. They think it's their Allah given duty to bring down Western culture and establish Sharia.

Name a time we've stayed out of their affairs.
We shouldn't give a rip what kind of gov they want to install. We are not the worlds police man.
I thoroughly agree with what PJ posted earlier. We should follow the advice of the founders. Trade with all, alliance with none.
Perhaps more Americans would be alive if we followed that advice.
And the Swiss are not a world power. If RI were an independent country, you think anyone would be attacking them?
You say this as if the US and Christians were leading the battle for women's rights.
You do realize that it wasn't until half a century after giving blacks the right to vote, that we finally allowed women to vote. As horrific as our historical treatment of blacks has been, it took another 50 years for us to decide women should be able to vote also.
And I really hope you don't believe it was our nations large Muslim population who prevented that from happening.

Regarding ISIS:
If you aren't a Muslim and will not convert if extorted by threat of death then you should be concerned.
If you are a woman, you should be concerned.
If you are gay, you should be concerned.
If you speak your mind to express an unpopular opinion, you should be concerned.
If you eat bacon, hot dogs, BBQ, etc., you should be concerned.
If you drink beer, you should be concerned.
If you are an American, you should be concerned.
It's not our foreign policy, it's our culture of tolerance.
Or do you not get that?
