So let's look at why the Islamic world might be annoyed by the West?

I'll just add my voice to AdminNwr's by requesting of members that they please discuss the topic and not their opponents and what horrible people they are. I read back 4 or 5 messages trying to find the origin of where things got personal but didn't hit bedrock, so I don't know who's to blame, and I don't care. Just stop.
