If the UK pulls out from Muslim countries, they'll stop terrorism? (+why we're there)

No this is simply not true.

I dont think USA was particularly invading anyone when 9/11 happened?

Well, yes, it was. The US has a very involved path with the Muslim world. One of the major reasons al Qaeda gave for carrying out 9/11 was the American military bases on Saudi soil (in other words, in the Islamic holy land). Look at stuff like the support for the Shah of Iran for more examples of US intervention in that area. It was doing a hell of a lot to make the Islamic world hate it long before September 2001.

So as with Hamas, these terrorist only problem (as proven by you) is that not every single inch of land stretching from Morocco to Indonesia is muslim. The fact that the US has (legal and accepted) bases in saudi is the reason why al qaeda hate america.

The only places that citizens can have any sort of normal life is in america compounds. My Saudi friends ALL live in america compounds because outside they are not allowed to uncover their heads, they are not allowed to drive and they are not allowed to go anywhere unaccompanied or talk to men. THAT is what al qaeda have a problem with, that my friends (and the rest of them) are not submitting to Shar'iah law on 'muslim soil'.

Firstly, I have to note that whether American intervention is moral is irrelevant to whether it has created anti-American feeling.

Now, with that out of the way, if the US really wanted to spread freedom, I might suggest that it stop giving billions of dollars every year to the brutal, authoritarian, fundamentalist Wahhabist regime that controls Saudi Arabia. The US is paying top taxpayer dollar for people not to be allowed to leave their heads uncovered; for underage girls to be stoned for talking to men in public; for non-Muslims who worshipped openly to be whipped into submission. Maybe if the US stopped rewarding such vast evil with masses of money, the freedom you speak of wouldn't be restricted to US-administrated military compounds, and maybe those compounds wouldn't need to exist at all.

Wtf

The US doesn't fund the Saudi government. I guess the reverse might happen.

Um, yes it does. The US regularly gives military aid packages to a number of Middle Eastern nations, including Saudi Arabia. It also arranges arms deals to give the Saudi government the latest and best weapons to help oppress the Saudi people at significant discounts (all using US contractors, of course). How is that not funding the Saudi government?

Well you're really talking of business. US companies will sell arms at a discount to any buyer who purchases in bulk and is reliable in terms of future contracts and payments. Given that the US govt bans arms sells to most "enemies", that's why Saudi is at an advantage.

BTW, the Saudi govt is NOT brutal. Have you ever been to Saudi Arabia? I've lived there for a decade and it is very peaceful, no attacks or discrimination against women except not allowing women to drive. And I think beheading murderers is not a crime, is it? Please don't talk rubbish.

Right, a government that bans free expression, legislates against freedom of the press, enforces a state religion with criminal penalties, jails political dissenters, has a huge incidence of police brutality, routinely practices torture, executes the underage, institutionalises gender segregation and discrimination in education, employment, the justice system, and general life, criminalises consensual homosexual and pre-marital sexual behaviour, and uses corporal punishment isn't brutal at all. It's practically heaven on Earth, amirite?

And your source for all of these very strong accusations?

Listen, Saudi Arabia is NOT a moderate Islamic society. It's an orthodox one.

And if drawing nude pictures of Prophet Mohammad (GOD FORBID) is 'freedom of expression', then Saudis don't want, need or ask for it.

And, Saudis are very happy with their govt.

True, it's a male dominated society. But no one, yes 95% of women included, have a problem with that.

Why do you Americans bother?

Oh, so there's zero dissent? You can prove that every single Saudi is one hundred percent happy with their government and legal system? Cool.

Does a govt need 100% support from its people to remain in power? Then Mr Bush (possibly with only 30-40% support of the American public) should have opened his pants and ran away a long time ago. The same can be said about Blair.

Wasn't that in Somalia? And, if you're English, why the hell are you using a US flag?
