The reason many Muslims resent us is really quite simple. We don’t seek their permission, OK or approval in the pursuit of our foreign policy and we do not support many of the causes they do. The resentment comes in because we are strong and powerful enough where we don’t need their permission or approval and that makes them feel weak and impotent. Why does it have to be more complicated than that. It’s just a lot of salt to the wounds that Americans have a standard of living that far surpasses most of the Muslim world.

So very true MV. To qualify further, I would say that this is the case for any/all foreigners, but maybe a bit more so for the “moderate” muslim. This can be traced back to what they’ve seen as our unwavering support for Israel even while championing ourselves as proponents of justice and freedom in the world. However, the more “Fundo” muslim resents us because they see their way of life (or power) being threatened by western ideals.

But just to re-iterate a point someone else made above. We care enough about what muslims think about us to come to GUPSHUP, but really not that much in the grand scheme of things. Sorry.
