Why all this violence in the Middle East against (mostly) Americans NOW?

[Little-Acorn]

Fanatic Muslim savages making hay while the sun shines.

They realize they only have a few months left where the Great Satan (that's us) has a weak, Muslim-anus-kissing government that they can take advantage of, so they're doing all they can to say "F U" to the Americans before the new sheriff arrives in town.

Something nearly identical happened in 1979-1980, and for the same reason.

Brings to mind on old joke that circulated in late 1980, shortly after the election.

Two ayatollah types are standing around talking. One asks:

"What's flat, black, three hundred miles wide, no more than four feet high, and glows in the dark?"

The other replies:

"Us, fifteen minutes after Reagan is inaugurated."

Could something similar be going on now?

Foreign countries aren't exposed as much to the U.S. mainstream media, and have a more realistic view of today's trends in America, especially those they are on the receiving end of. My guess is, they know a change is on the horizon. Notice they aren't doing any of this stuff within the continental United States, where they would have to deal with the reactions of normal Americans afterward.

How can that possibly be ? Islam supposedly turns people into violent killers etc. Do you think there is something in American water that makes them immune ?

Hm, problem is that this action, especially during an election cycle, is going to force Obama to respond. If he doesn't, he's know Romney's gonna take the piss out of him for the rest of the election, and he'll lose most of the military votes he had.

No, there is something in American attitudes - and in American firearms - that makes Americans "a little more resistant" to that kind of thing.

BTW, no one is immune.

Seriously-----through this entire episode there has not been one incident of American Muslim violence in connection to 9/11 or this so called movie. Are you saying that American Muslims are too afraid to riot here?

Well, really, I think that it's more about the point that Muslims here are free to complain, and to practice their religion as they wish here, so long as they don't harm anyone else. In the more orthodox nations, they are very limited in how they can live their lives, and it creates a factionalization of belief that's really just waiting for the right spark to flare into a more serious conflict. This movie, apparently, was that catalyst that lit the fuel already there.

The same thing occured all throughout the 1500-1600s in Europe with the various denominations of Christians began warring back and forth, against the other "heresies" going on in the area. Unfortunately, Islamic nations are still in this phase, and haven't gotten their faith evolved beyond those days.

I heartily agree that the country the religion is practiced in has a enormous influence.
