the Left Wing denial about Islamic hate and violence is crazy
Naw, man. neither the left or the right wants to have the REAL discussion about why we have a problem with that part of the world.
The reason we have a problem with that part of the world is because since 1980, we've bombed, occupied or invaded 14 countries in that region and killed hundreds of thousands of people though wars and sanctions.
But when we get a little blowback, often from someone like Saddam or Bin Laden we armed to start with, then we exclaim, "it must be because of their religion! Yes, their belief in an invisible man in the sky is so much less rational than OUR belief in an invisible man in the sky!!!"
In short, our policy in the middle east is to stick our dicks in a hornet's nest and then complain about the Hornets' whacky religion.
