They see things like lesbians in leadership positions in our so-called churches. That is what they don't want.

the arab resentment is long standing. 'lesbians in leadership'
is new and rare.
few have seen firsthand our decadence.
they dont hate us for what we have, as some twit writers were
claiming in their shock after 9/11. they hate us for what we are
doing to them in their lands. corruption, subjugation, theft of
land and wealth, high tech remote killing; destruction in a hundred ways of their culture.
lesbians in church wont bother them so much, but women
boxers and football teams do. women footsoldiers? volunteers
while fat american men sit at home. this is decadent and perverse. this is what they dont want (etc.). they want the invader out of their lands plain and simple. then they can move
into the 21st century on their own if they aren't allready here.
and maybe if we get out and leave them be they might let us alone. you know, live and let live.
