Do 'they' really hate us?

And who are 'they'? They...the other...whether you like it or not are Muslims. All of them. When the President speaks about the War on Terror and...'they hate freedom'...'they hate our way of life' every single 'they' he mentions happen to be Muslim. And this is not lost on 'them'. Imagine the biggest gun in the world being held by someone who you think is demonstrating, on a daily basis, that they may be completely insane...they spin around one day, point the gun at you and say....that guy is the problem and watch as he cocks the hammer back...I think that's what being a Muslim today must feel like...It is hard to argue that the United States is not out to get them...so what do you get?
Remember the suicides at Guatanamo a couple weeks ago? Well most of the Muslim world does not think they were suicides at all. They believe those men were murdered and that the US is lying *GASP*...I know, how could they? How could they not?

Here are some excerpts from an op-ed article in a Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Seyassah which is usually fairly friendly to the US.

A few days ago the stench of a new American scandal began to circulate. At the worst prison in history, known as Guatanamo, the prison guards killed three of the mujahideen, and then wrongfully claimed that our mujahideen brothers committed suicide.

How could they say this?

A group of noble lawyers from our sister country Saudi Arabia have shown solidarity with the families of the martyrs, and have uncovered the hidden truth behind the deaths of those mujahideen in the prison of the criminals [Guantanamo]. The lawyers recount that the martyr Yasser Al Zahrani knew the entire Koran by heart and always provided guidance to his imprisoned brothers, calling them to be patient. Zahrani’s younger brother spoke to the Saudi press yesterday, and said:

"It is impossible that Yasser committed suicide, and if he did ever contemplate such a thing, he would have committed suicide at the beginning of his internment. Why would he commit suicide while continuously sending letters urging our parents to be patient regarding his absence?" He swears that his brother was killed.

The article even takes on the angle that maybe they were suicides but...

But let us for a moment suppose that the mujahideen actually did commit suicide in the prison run by those criminals. Doesn't that show the ugliness of the American values that they claim to promote justice and dignity in other lands?! Why would a group of fine young men commit suicide in such a weak and sad fashion?

Here's another article, this one by Qatars Al-Watan. It's titled, "Why are all inmates at Guatanamo Muslim?"

After the events of September 2001, the U.N. General Assembly failed to agree on a global definition of terrorism, because member countries were divided against themselves. While the Bush Administration emphasizes from time to time that the American war on terrorism is not specifically directed against Islam and Muslims, events on the ground in all areas of the world, from the detentions and prosecutions of the security services to torture operations, demonstrate to Islamic peoples that it is they alone who are targeted.

Even outside of the area of security, the United States is pursuing a discriminatory policy toward the Islamic community. The great American fuss being raised over Iran's nuclear program has no other purpose but to keep the Islamic countries in the Middle East at the mercy of Israel's nuclear deterrent.

Is it mere coincidence that the unfortunate residents of Guantanamo are all Muslim?

What can we say? Our actions speak plenty loud...
