1. Because you are disbelievers
"We hate you, first and foremost, because you are disbelievers; you reject the oneness of Allah – whether you realize it or not – by making partners for Him in worship, you blaspheme against Him, claiming that He has a son, you fabricate lies against His prophets and messengers, and you indulge in all manner of devilish practices." 2 . Because you are liberal"We hate you because your secular, liberal societies permit the very things that Allah has prohibited while banning many of the things He has permitted, a matter that doesn’t concern you because you Christian disbelief and paganism 32 separate between religion and state, thereby granting supreme authority to your whims and desires via the legislators you vote into power." 3. Because some of you are atheist"In the case of the atheist fringe, we hate you and wage war against you because you disbelieve in the existence of your Lord and Creator." 4. For your crimes against Islam
"We hate you for your crimes against Islam and wage war against you to punish you for your transgressions against our religion." 5. For your crimes against Muslims
"We hate you for your crimes against the Muslims; your drones and fighter jets bomb, kill, and maim our people around the world, and your puppets in the usurped lands of the Muslims oppress, torture, and wage war against anyone who calls to the truth." 6. For invading our lands
"We hate you for invading our lands and fight you to repel you and drive you out. As long as there is an inch of territory left for us to reclaim, jihad will continue to be a personal obligation on every single Muslim." The article concludes that while foreign policy is an issue, the main reason they are hell bent on destruction is because they don't like the West very much. It reads: "What’s important to understand here is that although some might argue that your foreign policies are the extent of what drives our hatred, this particular reason for hating you is secondary, hence the reason we addressed it at the end of the above list. www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/why-isis-hate-you-reasons-8533563?service=responsive And the plot thickens: (Iran's)IRGC Commanders: Our Main Aim Is Global Islamic Rule

That suggests that the only thing protecting us from any religious fundamentalism is our own laws and enforcement of our own cultural values. How do you feel about tolerance for Islamic customs that violate our own in the U.S.? Sufi Story: The Watermelon Hunter: Once upon a time there was a man who strayed, from his own country, into the world known as the Land of the Fools. He soon saw a number of people flying in terror from a field where they had been trying to reap wheat. “There is a monster in that field,” they told him. He looked, and saw that it was a watermelon. He offered to kill the ‘monster’ for them. When he had cut the melon from its stalk, he took a slice and began to eat it. The people became even more terrified of him than they had of the watermelon. They drove him away with pitchforks, crying: “He will kill us next, unless we get rid of him.” It so happened that at another time another man also strayed in to the Land of the Fools, and the very same thing started to happen to him. But, instead of offering to help them with the ‘monster,’ he agreed with them that it must be dangerous, and by tiptoeing away from it with them, gained their confidence. He spent a long time with them in their houses until he could teach them, little by little, the basic facts which would enable them not only to lose their fear of watermelons, but even to cultivate them themselves.

How do you feel about tolerance for Islamic customs that violate our own in the U.S.? It gets very interesting when some historical context is put on why that tolerance exists. The following article does a great job shining the light on the topic, while adding substantial evidence to what, Yahya Cholil Staquf is talking about.

Never, in all my years in Islamic countries, did I ever have anyone try to convert me to Islam. My late husband experienced the same. Religion just wasn't discussed, other than by my Iranian students. They wanted to discuss it but it wasn't allowed as a topic of discussion at the university so they arranged to come to my home once a week so they could discuss it. We had some very interesting talks and they never degraded into nastiness. We tried to learn from one another and it was, for the most part, a pleasant experience. Half the people I work with are named Mohammed. We do talk about religion and all its aspects. One told me that some day, he will take up the sword against the infidels. Another told me that if I draw a picture of their prophet, I should be killed. An imam in a local mosque was preaching the extermination of all Jews. They all hate gays with a passion. These are your "ordinary Muslims next door", not terrorists. It's an extremist, fundamentalist cult. Not a fan.

I wonder how long it will take Trudeau, wearing his Ramadan socks, to rush to this guy's side to take a selfie with him and offer him 10 million dollars, while stuttering "Diversity is our strength!" Oh, and another Mohammedan killed two women in Paris today, slitting their throats.
The woman who was removed from a Southwest Airlines flight, claiming she had deathly allergies to dogs, but had no Epipen on her? The second I saw her picture, I knew what it was. She wanted unclean animals removed from her flight. She's a Muslim, a visiting professor of Islamic studies in Maryland.

ISIS and others are particularly angry about our proxy invasion of the holy lands. or, as Ron Paul CORRECTLY stated in the 2012 debates:
