So don't give me that bull they don't HATE, because they do.

I'm trying to figure out why you're arguing that they hate, because I didn't say they didn't hate. I said they hate us primarily for our foreign policy, which is 100% accurate.

All you have to do is look at the messages Bin Laden and other radical Islamists use to whip up their followers for their jihad. Look at the pronouncements Bin Laden makes periodically, and his rationalizations for 9/11. They are always centered on our occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan, not some vague anti-Christian feeling.

As usual, reality is much more complicated than what you might see on the news. It's not simply a Muslim vs. Christian thing.

As far as "Allah requiring that you be killed" if you convert, and I know this is a dead horse that has been beaten many times on this board, but I'll say it again: you are expressing one radical interpretation of the Qu'ran. If you can say that as a blanket statement about Muslims, you have NO basis to refute the posters from Westboro Church that say "Thank God for Dead Soldiers". None.
