Why the US and EU do not support the Islamic democratic forces in the Muslim countries?

why would they be interested in democratic forces?  They are interested in controlling the oil, and the status quo.

because islam is intollerant of other religions. I can ask the poster above, how is it that islam "respects" other religions and yet saudi arabia does not even allow churches or synagoges to exsist in the country??? islam respects NOTHING but islam.

It's not Islam.  It's the state of Muslim nations which is in a struggle for freedom.  Muslim nations have directly and indirectly been, and in some cases, continue to be colonized by Western Nations.\n\nMuslims have not been able to fully practice their beliefs in about 100 years.  In many cases they have been oppressed by tyrranical regimes that are supported, militarily and economically, by Western countries.\n\nAs a result, desperation and extremism have been allowed to flourish in some parts of these countries.  If history is any indication, once these people are able to rule themselves by the Islamic Shari'a (jurisprudence), they will not have any animosity against anyone.\n\nWhat we are seeing today is reactionary.  If the West, especially the U.S., was to implement a more even-handed, fair, and truly pro-democratic foreign policy, there would not be a need for such extremist reactions.  Unfortunately, so far the West has viewed the Middle East as a region to serve interest of the West, even if it went against the interest of people of the Middle East.\n\nI must say that it is arrogant to think that what pleases the West (i.e. materialism) will be the answer that will please Muslim nations.  Not to mention, absolute freedom infringes on the borders of morality that Muslims live by. This is philosophical and idealogical colonialism at its worst, which is more dangerous than military and economic imperialism.\n\nWho are we to think that they're jealous of us?  If anything, Pope Benedict was correct in saying that Muslims criticize the West for marginalizing God and religion in everyday life.  The West is in dire need for an idealogical renaissance.  Morality has been replaced with greed and selfishness.  As a result, we say 'democracy' but act in the most fascist manner.\n\nIt's time for us in the West to wake up.  The presence of extremism in the world indicates that we are also extreme, but in the opposite direction.  We need to start refocusing on God, human rights, family, and the global community.  Then, and only then, will we not taste the sour fruits of our seeds.

this "crusade against terrorism" is just a lie and hidden tool to control the middle east and its oil. The actual US governement had said officially that its goal is to maintain USA hegemony in all ways, using everything they can (deinformation, mediatic manipulation ,lies, wars, military attacks, etc.). \nThis attitude is creating much more anger in all the world, and especially the in the muslim world, who feel the main to be targety. This anger mush a lot of muslims in the dark side of islamist terrorism.  The "war" against terrorism creates more terrorism..

This question clearly illustrates the reason why we Europeans find America such a primitive community. To us the idea that religionists, whether Jews, Christians or Muslims,  should influence the way in which the courts operate is a denial of the Democratic principal. Save us from archaic Christian extremists and from a Jewish mafia or the dangerously mad Sharia law guys. This is the age of reason - not the 14 century.

The USA doesnt dislike Muslims and Arabs. They dislike getting shot at and blown up. We have been giving aid to many Muslim countries such as Palestine and Pakistan. We are allies with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE.

There are some publications that can help you with this - one that comes to mind is "Osama's Revenge" by Paul Williams. It touches somewhat on the recent history of terrorist groups including Al Qaeda and actually has the full text of the declarations of war against the US  and the Israelis made by Bin Laden. The US military presence in the Middle East is cited as a reason particularly in Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon and Palestine. There is strong disagreement with some of the Saudi regime's anti-Islamic policies and deep resentment of US support of Israel. There also was resentment on the lowest levels over the US pullout under George Bush senior (in Iraq).  Bin Laden fostered the growth of the terrorist units by being a major player in the drug trade and threw millions or billions into a cohesive coalition of groups such as al-Hiahd, al-Islamiyya, ul-Ulema, etc. It is claimed that the US has been enmeshed in political battles there for not only economic but for religious reasons as well. I think reading books suchg as these would be more helpful than asking a question like this on Yahoo.

Some people in the US and Europe are influenced by these people. This shouldn't happen. Islam is not always good. The people who believe in it try to exaggerate over some issues. I think they need to know that sometimes what they do and say make no sense at all.

First there are many Americans who are Muslim and of the Muslim Faith- so the hate that you refer to is more directed to us from a nation or country or extremist groups-not Muslims themselves-the Muslim Faith is a very peaceful faith.\n\nI think most reasons the Americans are hated is the lack of understanding or ability to respect other cultures.\nand \nThe desire to control and manipulate the trade market.\nThe desire of America to monopolize.\n\nIt is a shame that these attacks and acts of hatred are directed at American Citizens themselves when it is the big corporations and government that are the culprits not the people.  WE are now in a state of Corporations running the country and not people.\n\nI do feel support of Israel plays a factor too and the fact that are war prescience in Iraq is more a hindrance than a benefit.\n\nI do not feel Islam is Terrorism and that attitude creates more enemies than allies.  Terrorists are deviations from the just cause and harbor the Hate.  Not Islam not Muslims.

The whole of Islam is full of controversy and division.  They are a divided camp with the western ones saying the middle eastern ones are not muslims and vice versa.  The violent verses stand in their koran and they try to say they mean something else when they clearly say what they say.  40% of UK muslims want the UK to convert to shari law.  Their whole situation would never have developed the civilization of europe or the usa as they are.  We would be living in mud huts under shari law, but they don't see it that way.

Because we're a superpower and we do what we want rather than what the world wants us to do.  And we don't let other countries push us around.  Besides, we're a little more conservative than most of Western Europe.  Oh by the way, you forgot to mention we're responsible for the Crusades.

I am an American citizen that DID vote for Bush. As far as most Americans are concerned, Iranian citizens need to get THEIR leaders to calm down and TALK. We understand you are very devoted to your faith, but not EVERYONE wishes to live in that kind of society. This is a BIG world and we ALL need to live here. How about showing us why some call Islam the "Religion Of Peace". PLEASE?

It is obviously discriminatory.  I don't think the U.S. should support any country that requires the citizens to be a specific religion.  This concept is so un-American that it would make the writers of the Bill of Rights turn over in their graves.  We should stop all aid to Israel immediately and to any other countries that have similar policies.

Why should we support a terrorist organization just because it was democratically elected?\nHitler, too, was democratically elected. \n\nWhy all together, should we support people who danced on the streets on 9/11?\nThey hate our guts because we represent humanistic values which are anti-Islamic. \n******\nThey don’t hate the West because of Israel. NO they hate Israel, because it is a part of the WEST in their midst.\nAs such it is too much of a exposure of the failure of their Islamic “cultutre”
