Anti-American speech was prevalent in the Middle East before 9/11.

Surely no one thinks that started in 2001.

Right?

I'd never heard that it was specifically taught in the Koran until post 9/11.

What you reference backs up my argument regarding foreign policy and not religion. I know the great Ogie purveyor of truths and pervading falsehoods will somehow find a way to disagree.

Then you probably weren't paying much attention. Don't feel bad, not many people paid attention.
I know anti American speech isn't taught in the Koran but certainly the Koran doesn't look very favorably on non Muslims, right?

I'm not saying they are a threat to the US. I'm stating that it is not hateful, but rather accurate to bring light to the homophobia, misogyny, and pedophilia, which are rampant in hardline Islamic societies.

Also, I think I've made my view on the Iraq war and drone bombings quite clear... So go ahead, call me a hypocrite again, I'm pretty sure I've criticized the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in just about every thread where I have posted about them. Clearly reading comprehension is not your strong suit.

I can say that our wars there are wrong, but I can also say that Islamic practices as seen in Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc. have no place in the 21st century.

It doesn't look favorably upon "infidels" from what I know about it. It seeks retribution against those that it believes has wronged Muslims. Actually growing up my conception of Islam was that it was a religion of peace. Whole "peace be unto you my brother" thing.
