Skeets, I highly recommend the Atlantic article that was pointed out to on this thread. You seem to be operating under the working assumption that all humans react about the same to things; it's only the governments that differ.

That's just not true, and it leads to a bad misunderstanding of events.

From The Roots of Muslim Rage

"What is truly evil and unacceptable is the domination of infidels over true believers. For true believers to rule misbelievers is proper and natural, since this provides for the maintenance of the holy law, and gives the misbelievers both the opportunity and the incentive to embrace the true faith. But for misbelievers to rule over true believers is blasphemous and unnatural, since it leads to the corruption of religion and morality in society, and to the flouting or even the abrogation of God's law."
