[ALBSA-Info] A quote from LA Times

[Kreshnik Bejko]

Personally, I think it was not hatred of the US that drove the hijackers to 
commit such unspeakable acts of terror. The issue goes back to colonial 
times, to British imposition of Western values on countries that did not go 
through a Englightment movement like the Europeans did. Due to British and 
European exploitation these people see the Western lifestyle as evil and the 
only way to prevent such things from happening again is to make them see 
that individualism, separation of church and state, free market capitalism 
are good things. This would mean another form of colonization, a cultural 
colonization, will have to be implemented. Once you get them to watch MTV 
and wear Levi's I doubt they'll want to hijack planes again.

Following is a quote from an LA TIMES article:

"Likewise, many Arabs and Muslims view the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as 
far older than the Americans perceive.

To them, the conflict is a continuation of centuries of Western meddling. 
They think that the West, which today includes America, declared war on 
Islam with the first Crusade--a Christian holy war more than 1,000 years 
ago. They see the establishment of Israel as the United States' insertion of 
Jews into the region, another step of Western conquest."
