>For someone who hated America and all it represents, Osama Bin Laden had a heck of a lot of Pepsi and Coca Cola in his Frigidaire refrigerator. I'm not saying he was a hypocrite, but, he was a hypocrite. Shouldn't he be drinking yogurt and camel sweat?< I suspect most Muslim extremists aren't against the US exporting material comforts. They are against us exporting "Hollywood" values, moral relativism, etc.., propping up governments that allow us to take the oil, and giving weapons, financial aid, and political support to enemies they feel were unjustly given land by the west decades ago that was also theirs. If it weren't for all the aggressive behavior against practically every other religion in other parts of the world, I'd probably have no problem with them. But they haven't matured to the point of "live and let live" any more than the west. Their aggression is just different. Ours is mostly economic and theirs is mostly religious.
