It is pretty clear the whole Muslim ME is angry at the West and simply out looking for excuses to show that anger. They have a deep enough, and common enough, well of anger that they reinforce each other when they find something to be angry about.


They love us, they hate us, they are angry at us, they want to be like us, they want to move to the West in huge numbers, they want nothing to do with us. All of the above. What you say is accurate enough if you just concentrate on the Radical Islam/Salafist movement, though.

The real question in all of this, to my mind, is how do we diffuse Muslim anger against the West (unless we plan to fight the whole ME, which I don't think is reasonable).


But what if the Salafists mean what they say? What if we can't diffuse their anger, because it is commanded from Allah? What then?
