That's exactly what they think of us. Read the Muslim press. We're all "sinful and rotten"... Certainly neither Muslims or Christians have a monopoly on that human characteristic.. But that said, I will say that teaching children to blow themselves, and innocent civilians, to smithereens should be considered exceptionally "sinful and rotten". Something inherently wrong about enlisting children to engage in combat when there are plenty of able bodied menfolk. Hawk

Read the Muslim press. Even those who are generally sympathetic to the U.S., and want peace and accommodation (like Malaysia's leaders), think we are violence-prone Godless materialists, sensualists who tolerate a list of things they consider perverted. And they consider us immensely arrogant, proclaiming the superiority of American/Western culture. You demonise them, they demonise you. The big difference is that Stock Leader speaks for himself. Read the American press. Generally, American press is respectful of Islam and of Muslim civilizations.
