And just how do you know this? By placing your feelings onto theirs? What you're saying sounds like plain old western disgruntlement, not Wahabist extremist views. Their worldview, their perception of reality is entirely different to those in the Judeo-Christian west. It is widely documented that Whabist extremists do indeed hate the 'decadent' and 'morally corrupt' American way of life.

You cannot use your own opinions as a barometer when looking at the motives of those holding totally different education, belief, and worldview. You must use their words and actions alone.

I cannot, and never will understand the logic behind their actions because I percieve the world in a totally different light.

Education, knowledge, understanding. These are vital things that determine behaviour.[/QB][/QUOTE]When did I ever say anything about 'Wahabist' extremists? I just used the sweeping generalization: 'extremists'. Personally I'm yet to see any sound evidence that links ANY person or group to the commonly-publicised acts of 'terrorism' (WTC or otherwise). Could've just as easily been white Americans that flew the jets into the WTC. But I'm digressing again... sure it's Western disgruntlement, but that doesn't mean I lack "Education, knowledge, understanding" as you seem to be insinuating. But then, I'm putting words in your mouth now arn't I?
