Why Do They Hate Us? Reading 2

1. Why does Osama bin laden make America seem like such a bad country? This could maybe be answered by researching.

2. Knowledge that I have to support his explanation for terrorist attacks is that terrorists don't like America and it's government. Osama has said before that he doesn't like America's government system. Jihadists might want to overthrow certain Muslim governments because they do not like the way Muslims way of living. They want to drive Israel out of the Middle East because of Jews or peoples religion.

3. Knowledge that I have or suppose about Bin Laden's harsh critique to the U.S. is that you don't have to kill American's just because you're a Muslim. Osama claims that America wants to destroy Jews' holy city and/or relocate it, America is not after Iraq for that reason. Osama says that America is trying to repeat a horrific massacre when that's not the case. Osama is looking at America's history and using what we have done, to help his story.

4. What led young men in Arab countries to find martyrdom attractive was that martyrdom promised them an alternative to a life. Young men wanted to kill religious people, they wanted to take their anger out that way and not deal with resentment from others.

5. Al Qaeda is not popular because of Osama's declared goals. One of his declared goals was to remove American soldiers from Muslim lands. Osama's violence has taken a toll on the ratings of his polls and other things too. People don't want anything to do with Al Qaeda because of Osama.
