Muslims have More Reasons to Hate the US than the Other way Around

I don’t think that most Muslims hate ordinary Americans who believe in the general principle of “live and let live.” Moreover, I don’t think that most Americans would unhesitatingly embrace Israeli Nazism if they had the slightest chance to know the truth about Israel, e.g. that it is a criminal state par excellence, based on ethnic cleansing, land theft and racist and religious discrimination.
Unfortunately, most Americans are spoon-fed Jewish propaganda from early childhood. This creates a virtual reality in America’s collective mind about Israel, a virtual reality that is nearly completely disconnected from the real reality in Israel-Palestine.
For example, many Americans are made to think that Israel and America have much in common, in terms of democracy. However, the truth is that democracy in Israel is more or less confined to Jews while non-Jews are systematically discriminated against. Their land is confiscated, their homes are demolished, and their rights and dignity are trampled upon.
And when they seek redress at Jewish courts, they discover that non-Jews can’t possibly hope for true justice and equality under Jewish rule. Ask non-Jewish Americans who have been living in Israel for decades and you will hear a lot of hair-raising stories about the Israeli “democracy.”
Some Americans are so brainwashed that they are willing to claim that Muslims hate America for its freedoms. This is what Georg W. Bush, probably the most ignorant President America has ever had, once claimed.
The truth of the matter, however, is that most Muslims hate the US government for embracing tyrannical Arab and Muslim regimes that torment their own people by denying them natural freedoms and civil liberties as well as the right to freely elect their own governments. This is in addition, of course, to backing and supporting Israel’s Nazi-like policies, including ethnic cleansing and settlement expansion at the expense of the native Palestinians.
It is really scandalous that while Americans boast bout their First Amendment freedoms, successive American governments have consistently embraced despotic regimes abroad. In many instances, the US intervened either brazenly or behind the scenes to destabilize or overthrow democratically elected governments such as in Iran, Chile, and the occupied Palestinian territory.
Of courser, America’s days of infamy are too numerous to be counted. For example, we all tend to view Adolph Hitler as the ultimate embodiment of evil. However, it is historically true that the US, its allies, Stalin, Mao, murdered more people than the Third Reich ever did.
America wanted to be looked upon as a moral example to be followed. But the beacon of light eventually turned into a ruthless beastly power where military might took priority over moral power.
Take for example America’s stand over Israel. For decades, the United States enabled Israel to violate every international law and norm and commit every conceivable crime under the sun including murdering children by raining on them White phosphorus.
This is the same America that allows herself to judge the world for human rights violations while enabling Israel diplomatically, politically and mainly militarily to pursue decidedly Nazi-like policies against the Peoples of the Middle East.
In 2006, the Nazi government of Israel dropped 2-3 million cluster bomblets over Lebanon, enough to kill or maim 2-3 million Lebanese children. And instead of denouncing the manifestly nefarious act, the US government declared that “Israel has the right to defend itself.”
Today, there is an anti-Islamic hysteria in the United States. The main reason for this hysteria is the fact that the United States can’t live normally with itself without an external enemy. In short, there has to be an enemy in order to keep the American psyche intact. There has to be an enemy in order to keep the military industrial complex functioning. In short, capitalism can’t function without war.
In fact, Muslims don’t view themselves as enemies of the United States, as the vast bulk of Muslims are peaceable people who are mainly interested in the pursuance of their daily life, enhancing their daily living, improving their standard of living and making ends meet.
Yes, there are violent groups here and there, but these are tiny groups which in no way represent the Muslims of the world.
I think many Americans are ignorant of these facts. I also think that many other Americans, would condemn Muslims right or wrong. I am talking about people who would burn the Muslim Holy scripture, the Quran, in order to highlight their hatred of Islam, a religion with more than 1.6 billion people.
Well, to those I say one thing: the dogs will keep barking, and the caravan will keep going.
Besides, if you have one reason to hate us, we have a thousand reasons to hate you.
None the less, unlike you, we are not willing to allow our primitive impulses to decide our behaviors. Our religion, the source of our morality and behavior, doesn’t allow us to behave the way they do.
This is why we will not burn copies of the New Testament, we will not attack churches, and we will not call Christianity bad names.
It is often claimed that the religion Jesus founded is based on Love. But any fleeting view of your “religion” caricatures a hate-based cult that has very little to do with Jesus and the authentic messages he preached.
Did Jesus ever call children “murderers” as you did recently in Texas? In fact, I dare say that you and people who subscribe to your cultist hatefulness are a cancer upon the conscience of Christ.
So, you hate us because of the 9/11 events. Well, 99% of Muslims condemned in the strongest terms these terrorist acts. And we are sorry for the umpteenth time for the death of dozens of hundreds of innocent Americans, including Muslims, in these terrorist attacks.
None the less, your democratic elected government has been responsible for the death of millions of Muslims. In Iraq alone, the United States has killed or caused the death of at least two million Muslims in the past two decades. Hundreds of thousands of other Muslims have been killed in Afghanistan. These are just two examples of America’s genocidal wars against the Muslim world.
Hence, if you have the right to cite one 9/11 as a pepetual propaganda weapon in our face , we can cite hundreds and thousands of 9/11s in your face. After all, you have been a perpetual aggressor against our peoples and countries. There is so much innocent blood on your hands. The hills of Afghanistan, the deserts of Iraq and the terrains of Gaza, the West Bank and South Lebanon, all testify to your brutality and criminality.
And don’t you ever think that your lives are worth more than our lives. All human beings were created by the same God and are equal if only because there is no such a thing as a lesser God.
One day, the oppressed will have their day, and there will be no spin, no hasbara and no propaganda. And the New York Times and Fox News and AIPAC and all other organs of lie will have been evaporated into nonexistence.
God is just. (end)

You’re right. We ALL need to reject the propaganda from corporate media, politicians, business leaders, religious leaders, entertainment media, and whoever else is trying to fan the flames. THEY are the ones with the insidious agenda.
Peace.

All roads lead to Israel. Ask yourself,,,who controls/owns the media, our politician,our financial institutions, our banking system, our stock markets, iur “entertainment” mediums? You name it, “they” run it. And it’s not the muslims.

I cannot understand why Mr Amayreh thinks Muslims were behind 9/11. Of course, that is the official American story. But an army of sincere and fearless American scholars have shown that that story is ridiculous. You can easily search for the articles of David Ray Griffin, Steven Jones and Christopher Bollyn and judge the matter for yourself.

Remember, You are speaking about a group of people who committed genocide in order to ‘own’ Turtle Island. A genocide which is celebrated annually, each ‘Thanksgiving’. The celebration rivals their other main celebration of ‘Christmas’, honouring the birth of Christ.

Thank you for being a voice of reconciliation and reason. The common people of the world, Christians, Muslims, Budhists, and all other faiths all have much in common and nothing to fear from each other.
Those who try to make the common people feel guilty are the real enemy.
I got out of the US military in 2001 because I had seen a bird’s eye view of how the US causes conflict and then tries to cast itself as a provider of security. The English did the same thing in Europe for hundreds of years, they would funnel arms and fanatical propaganda into whichever country was weak in order to bring down stronger countries. Based on this, they got the reputation of sticking up for the downtrodden, when all they were really doing was igniting wars to keep their competitors weak. The Us has applied the British system on a global scale. There is no leader we have faced since WW1 that we were not instrumental in bringing to power in the first place.

I don’t think Muslims committed 9/11. The only ones arrested on 9/11 were the dancing Israelis, celebrating and high fiving while the towers fell (not by fire from crashed planes-that’s laughable). They were also PRE-POSITIONED to film it as it happened which indicates foreknowledge of the event. AND MICHAEL CHERTOFF SAW TO IT THAT THE ISRAELIS WERE RELEASED AND RETURNED TO ISRAEL. Tower 7 appeared to free-fall for no reason at all.
Neither America nor Israel are democracies and our First Amendment Rights were destroyed by the ADL when they pushed the hate crime laws through Congress. They tirelessly worked for years despite massive public disapproval for this. In the near future, any criticism of Israel or Jews will be met with federal charges and imprisonment. The attorneys are being trained now on how to handle upcoming cases. That law was not set up to protect mainly homosexuals. You only have to go to small sites like conspiracypenpal.com and search the internet as to what the feds did to the owner of this site who had the cohones to criticize the jews and zionism. What a setup! And how typical. What is happening to us is what they did to Christian Russia before the Russian revolution.
Most Americans know something is wrong with the system but don’t know what to do about it. The Powers That Be are instigating so much hatred and lies that I feel it is not going to end well for us (or them).
Everyone pray for the people of the U.S of A.

Dear Khalid,
I am an everyday American citizen. I am curious to know why, if Americans are so evil and bad, do Muslims come to America to live in large numbers?

no its because they can live free. they can practice any religon they want. their women can take off those head dresses that cover thier faces. and the women actually be treated equal and not as objects. also they can walk down the street without being afraid. also if people moved from the homeland because they were being bombed, why would they move to the country that is bombing them. i didn’t a whole bunch of americans move to the middle east after 9/11. we are the better country!!

IT WASN’T MUSLIMS who did 9-11! A Jewish Crime Network did 9-11 along with traitors at the highest levels of US government–and designed 9-11 to frame Islamics.

Watch the documentary 911MISSINGLINKS.com
When enough people awaken to this, all the anger directed at the Islamic world will be focused upon Rothschildlandia (Israel) and the Khazarian world oligarchs. These ruthless monsters will not go down without a fight. They know this and are now killing us with chemtrails, oil spills, weather warfare and “divide and conquer” deceptions–pitting groups against one another.
Read Protocols of Zion. The revolution is one of awakening to who the real terrorists of the world really are.

Divide anrule had been the Brithish slogan all along in the past century. Now the Americans have coined a new phrase,”destroy and rule”, unfortunately States do not learn lesson from history, all the great died, and all the greats will vanish.

As an American citizen I couldn’t agree with you more. American citizens comprehensively are ignorant. It sickens me
[Reply]
Yes, I am aware that America is completely a terrible country devoid of morals and fairness.
We have racial issues, divisiveness and all kinds of corruption.
With all that said….. Why do you want to come and live here in such a horrible place?
Why do you insist in living in a terrible racist country?
Why not live in a free,peaceful country?
