Well, no, they aren't. They are like any other people who are dealing with colonial occupiers. I am old enough to remember all the horror stories we told ourselves about the Vietnamese, children sticking GI's with Punji sticks and so on.

The problem is we never learn this lesson. People just don't like it when you invade their country. We didn't learn this lesson 50 years ago in Vietnam, we didn't learn this lesson 100 years ago in the Philippines.
Ah, first and foremost, this isn't in the Koran, it's in a Hadith. Hadiths are not official scripture, and are not universally followed in the Islamic World.

Our middle east policy for the last 50 years has been to stick our hands in a hornets nest and complain about getting stung. That's when we aren't raising bigger and nastier hornets that turn on us. If we took half the money we spend on a bloated military industrial complex fighting a forever war, and spent it on energy independence, we could wash our hands of the whole region, which is what we should do.
