The 19 men who US officials say hijacked four American passenger jets and flew them on suicide missions that left more than 7,000 people dead or missing were all from the Middle East. Most of the hijackers have been identified as Muslims.
The vast majority of Muslims in the Middle East were as shocked and horrified as any American by what they saw happening on their TV screens. And they are frightened of being lumped together in the popular American imagination with the perpetrators of the attack.
But from Jakarta to Cairo, Muslims and Arabs say that on reflection, they are not surprised by it. And they do not share Mr. Bush's view that the perpetrators did what they did because "they hate our freedoms."
Is this the real reason?

Elgin,
>>>Very good last paragraph. I wonder if I can use that in class without getting fired.<<<
Depends on which university. You might get away with it in a few of the more conservative Ivy League schools, though there would definitely be protests. But in any of the CUNY or SUNY schools or any other city or state university you would be fired instantly. Only liberals are allowed academic freedom. Conservatives are not protected by academic freedom for their non-PC statements.
Elgin, why are you wasting your time in academia when your obvious intelligence can be put to so much better use in the private sector, or even back in the political arena?
