Why do you think the Muslims hate us?
I have a theory why they hate us. In 2015, the US dropped 23,000 bombs on five predominately Muslim countries. They don't hate us because we have too much sex on TV. They hate us because we bomb the effing Shiite out of them. I think when you bomb the ragheads back to the stone age that there is a possibility that one or two of them become radicalized. Either because we've bombed them into starvation poverty or because we've killed their love ones.
