Why can't these groups of people be civil about things?
Short answer: deep down hatred for American and Isreali governments.
Their hatred towards both governments is not all without reasons. Without searching wiki, how many of you know the Iraqi casualty count for 2003 Iraq War?
Remember the biggest reasons Bush gave for invading that country? 1. Saddam had WMD's. 2. Sadadm was financing Bin Ladin. As it turned out, they were all lies.
What else gave US the right to invade another country? Free the Iraqi people? Throughout Iraq 3000+ year history, Iraqi people were under authoritarianism government or dictatorship. What gave the right of US government to bully and force feed democracy upon another country? Democracy is great for some but it may not be best for others.
Iran is another Muslim country who has pure hatred towards US and Isreal. Do you know just about every Iranian nuclear scientists had been assassinated in the few years, not to mention five Russian nuclear scientists who help Iran died on a plane crash last year? Google and you will be surprised that you had never heard of the news.
WikiLeak had it over 175,000 Iraqis. That's the casualty count for the Iraqis War. Almost 60 Iraqis for every life lost during 911. Decade later, Americans still morn the deaths of 911 but not one remembered the deaths of 175,000 caused by the blunder of Bush government. The video of Apache trigger happy gunner who shot down unarmed Iraqis and children, the pissing of US soldiers on the corpse, tearing of koran, torture and mockering of Iraqi prisoners in Iraq, and pictures from Guantanamo Bay...the list goes one and on.
It's more than just an anti muslim film that caused the recent event in the middle east. It only became a tipping point of their hatred for American.
