What has been ignorant and offensive? Did you watch the video of Hafa Sultan? I think you are making a mistake in saying the terrorists have reason to hate us in that you are in effect saying they have a right to commit terrorist acts. IMO they would commit these acts out of their own selfish motives regardless of our actions. You are also forgetting about the good things America does world wide to fight poverty, disease and hunger. What about American relief efforts during earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons or other natural disasters?

If you are ashamed to live in America, then you should leave. That is the beauty of living in a free country, you are free to leave.

Speak for yourself. I don't know what stereotypes FOX News is broadcasting to your TV but I am not aware of any. You do not speak for all Americans, so I hope you are not presuming to be apologizing for us. If you see anything that I have said in this thread that I should apologize for, feel free to point it out and I will take it under serious consideration.

The best way for us to resolve our differences is for Islamists to stop commiting acts of violence and terrorism against innocent people world wide.
