Refuting rationalizations of the attack of Sept. 11, 2001.

This is to refute those who make rationalizations of the attack of Sept. 11, 2001. A rationalization that 1 person made as to why Muslim extremists hate us is because of the support that the U.S. gives to Israel. Now America shouldn't get involved with the affairs of the Middle East & we should stay out of the Israeli-Arab conflict. But that is no rationalization to commit something as hideous as the attacks of Sept. 11, where innocents were killed by these evil thugs. America has gotten involved in other affairs which are bad such as the fact that America helped a theocracy called Pakistan (a nation created by stealing territory from then India & which subjugates non-Muslims) develop nuclear weapons. Yet Hindu terrorists didn't commit terrorist attacks on America because of our support in helping Pakistan (far worse than Israel) develop nuclear weapons.

No, all Muslims aren't fanatics, but the fact is that in the views of most Muslim leaders, ethnic cleansing is only bad when Muslims are the victims, but rationalize discrimination & ethnic cleansing when done by Muslims against non-Muslims, because anyone who isn't Muslim is going to hell. When a religion teaches its followers like Islam does that non-Muslims are destined for hell, deeds like the attacks of Sept. 11th, the killings of Christian Yorubas by Muslims in Nigeria, Chechen terrorism, etc. happen, because there are going to be individuals that'll follow the hate & violence endorsed by the mullahs.
