Agreed. One point that I heard on a radio streamcast is that there is a
large segment of the Middle Eastern (And other) populations that refer to
America as the "Great Satan". To these people, the fact that you live in
the US would make you a Satanist. This means that they regard us as an
ultimate enemy in the service of the ultimate evil, and thus, killing us is
a sanctioned act in the eyes of their God.
Not sure I completely agree with that, but a lot of it makes sense. While
the average American regards religion as something they do, a lot of
Mideast people regard religion as their guiding force in life. Something to
remember...
