Why do Islamic militants hate America, and not Britain?

[My_Toes_Are_Cold]

Before you read this, know that this isn't a shot at people from the UK. I actually really like the UK - I'm just pointing out some facts that were brought in front of me and asking a question.

Now, my constructed question.

In the history books, it points out that most of America's base technology and Westernism originates from Britain, and it also confuses me as to why Islamic militants hate America. They call us Godless, when only 10% of Americans admitted to being athiest, and 16% of those in the UK admitted to being athiest. They also call Americans perverted, but I have heard from people in UK that a lot of kids lose their virginity at 12 years of age there. I don't know if this is said to happen in the USA (or if it's actually true in the UK), but from living there in the USA, I have to say that most kids in High School haven't had sex.

Britain was the country that invaded and attempted to take over the Middle East during the 1900's, yet the Islamics go after America, who had (to my knowledge) done nothing? I don't understand how this happened.

Does anyone have knowledge as to explain exactly why Islamic militants go after America, and not Britain? I'm clueless. Please, also feel free to correct any statements in which I was wrong.

Most of them are simply uneducated and follow their leaders like sheep. I can not except anything they say because they just talk about war. I think a well placed nuke would settle the issue.

That's what a lot of people want to do, but those "uneducated" people were smart enough to start a guerilla war, as opposed to a war between nations. This makes it so no one can nuke them, without declaring war and nuking a nation, which is bad for public relations.

they are under educated, and the only reason that they don't declare wars, is becuase their leaders aren't stupid, just evil and mislead. if they declared war, and wore uniforms and w/e we would smoke them flat out, w/o nukes.

I got news for ya hun everybody hates america
Right now your countrys international reputation has never been lower

and there attacking everybody they attacked you, britian, there even trying to go after Canada

and for the record the majority of america is christian which to them means ur in the wrong religion
which makes you ain infidel
meaning you need to die
yet there aperantly a peaceful religion
which is bullshit no religion is peaceful


cmp for the record bin ladin declared war on america in the mid 90's america ignored him and paid dearly for it

[cmpcmp]

It is true many ppl hate america, But the know nothing liberals that say that the reason terrorist hate is becuse we "police the world" when we wouldn't need to do anysuch thing if there wasn't a huge problem in the first place.

Terrorist group Al queda which is the most publisized one, and has attacked places like....
-America
-England
-Spain
-Moracco
-Tunesia
-Turkey
-Egypt
-Iraq
-Saudi arabia
-Yemen
-Kenya
-Tanzania
-Indonesia
-Packistan
-and afganistan

Do you think that they attack only america like places with christian ppl? take a look at the map.

-No they attack ANY BODY that isn't an Islamic extremist (generaly not ismamic ppl though), But they hate america the most, not because we are the most "evil" or that we are "world police" or that we are "corrupt" or anthing like that.
-Al queda and like groups HATE america cause we pose the largest threat to them, we are the main and most powerfull force that is willing to actualy go in and try to change things by force.

The Terrorist don't fear the UN, the UN very rarely uses force or sanctions, and how can you sanction an terrorist organization that is world wide?

The reason that they attack is that their leaders aren't stupid, they see that the more soldiers or cizilians that terrorist kill in iraq the less the american ppl suport the war. And thus the less likely we are to come back or stay at all.

-perfect example, look at spain, al queda bombed a train there and they folded like a cheap deck or cards. They voted opposite as they would have, and they pulled all of their troops out of Iraq as fast as they could. This was EXACTLY what Al Queda wanted. Don't you see? Al Queda doesn't hate America because we are hurtung the Iraqi ppl, hell Al queda targets and kills Iraqi citizens to inspire fear.

Were there under the request of the United Nations, NATO and the Afgan government
we have commited millions to the war effort and even more to aid

and because of our joint efforts with the allied nations


5 million refugees have been repatriated;
5 million children are now enrolled in primary school;
10 million Afghans registered to voted in successive democratic elections; and
More than one-quarter of the seats in Afghanistan’s legislature are held by women

terrorists dont stand a chance

[serial-thrilla]

Most of them are simply uneducated and follow their leaders like sheep. I can not except anything they say because they just talk about war. I think a well placed nuke would settle the issue. im sure there would be another well placed nuke right where it hurts in return if the usa did chose to do that.

[kolte]

Ummmm, the terrorists do hate the UK. Remeber the london bombings?

*sigh*

[cmpcmp]

(up arrow) true kolte. they hate every infidel, but the ones that threaten them the, they hate the most. (ie. america, England, Canada, formerly Spain.....)

[Unionjackboy]

Because Britain would help them if they despretly needed it. We know North Korea is a bad place aswell as Iran but if they needed it we would help them.
