Unfortunately for your argument, thats not why Pat Robertson claimed we were attacked. Pat claimed that it was God's wrath that brought 9/11 on us becasue of abortions, homosexuals and adulterers. Basically, to simplify it, PR claimed that God was being vengeful and allowed the attack to happen becasue of the adulterers, homosexuals and abortionists. (basically, God thought we deserved it.) (BTW, he clearly dosent worship the same God I do.) Robertson didnt make your claim, which might have been more logical on the surface, that OBL was mad at us becasue of those reasons.

But again, upon further research, OBL dosent claim to hate the US becasue of those reasons listed. He claims to be anti western becasue of our military presence in the mid-east, specifically our bases in Saudi Arabia, which is considered to be the home of the holiest sites in all Islam. He believes its a sin against Islam to allow non-muslims on such sacred soil. Secondarily, and much more recently he seems to be siding with the palistenians in their struggle for soviergnty, and opposing the US on its (imho STUPID) unwaivering support for Isreal.

Hope this clears that right up for you.
WOW. you put a lot of time in your post to disseminate incorrect information LOL. If you really think the radical muslims don't dislike us in part because of our MTV culture, you're either misinformed or sadly mistaken. Do your research before you try to contradict me
