Z, You really think that they hate us for our freedom?

Yes, or at least our type of freedom. Think about what it represents, both to us and to them. Think about what you and I hold sacred, perhaps even take for granted, compared to what their core values are and what they consider sacred.

To them, our freedom represents sinful license. And that is a big reason why they hate us. Combine that with their belief in The Will To Power (ironically a Nietzschean philosophy), and you'll have the foundation for Islamic fundamentalism.

Of course, it's a lot easier to just say that the terrorists hate us because we're the brightest beacon of freedom in the world. Especially right after 9/11 when most Americans were shaken to the core.
