I really think you've swallowed the "Big Lie" in the whole War on Terror.
The reason they hate us is not our freedoms and tolerance. They hate us because since World War I we've been meddling in their affairs. We have set up puppet leader after puppet leader and then embroiled them in wars with Russia's Puppet States.
We use our military might to take their resources. Those that go our way are rewarded richly, all others are left to starve.
They can't discourse with us because we won't even sit at the table with them. We make demands that they must meet or we will respond with overwhelming force.
Its always about politics. We are paying for our sins in Imperialism just as we are paying for our sins in Slavery with all the racism issues.
They don't hate our freedoms. They hate how we have enforced our will against them.

Sorry, but I disagree
