Sticks and stones, or something like that

After my last post, my thoughts lingered on perverts and Islam and Obama. I started thinking about how the left's explanation for why Muslims hate us is that we do so many things to upset them; that we made them so mad for invading Iraq, for being in Saudi Arabia, the we help Israel fight Hamas. They say that if we just left everyone alone and minded our own business, the Islamic world would be our friends.

I find that terribly hard to believe. One reason is that a while back, in an attempt to broker a peace deal between Israel and the late PLO leader, Yassar Arafat, the Israelis once offered him more than for what he had asked. The Israelis really wanted a peace deal and they were willing to pay a steep price for it. The catch was, Arafat never wanted peace. The whole reason for his existence was strife. A deal would've put him out of business.

Not much has changed. The recent negotiations that Secretary of State, John Kerry, had with Iran weren't much different. We got nothing out of the deal, the Iranians got more than they expected, and the Iranians are even closer now to getting nukes than they were before. The icing on the cake was the billions they got to fund terrorism.

No, I'd say we're doing a pretty good job of doing what it takes to make the Islamic world like us, at least in that regard. But they still hate us and they're still trying to kill us. Over seven years of playing nice and what's it getting us? Boston. Paris. San Bernardino. Orlando.

So what's the problem? Do you think maybe they hate us so much because someone's calling them religious perverts and they can't get to the Namecaller-in-chief?
