I presume that Iraqis hate their occupation by the US because of 1. Accidental killing of civilians as the US troops chase those firing at them. There are evidently lots of such accidents. 2. The US backs Israel against the Palestinians. 3. The Americans are infidels. If Islamic armies occupied them 2. and 3. would be eliminated. As for 1, if the Islamic occupiers also killed civilians in their zeal to pacify matters, at least it would be an intra-Islam problem, no fault of the US. As for asking or not asking to be occupied, in this life who gets only what they ask for?
