And they also hate america because of the patriotic arrogance some have. Many people here haven't even left the country but think their thinking and way of life is superior to everyone else's.

You're trying to sound worldly by denouncing the country and the freedom it represents while having a mere tourists perspective of the world.
 Where would you like to live? You can live anywhere in the world you want if you have the right skill set. Even the closed European nations will take you if you have something to offer. Do you have anything to offer?

Shoot the messenger much???
How do you read "And THEY" and interpret it to me saying "AND I"??? Pay attention to what you read and stop jumping to conclusions.

Shoot the messenger? It's your message!!!   

The sentence "Many people here haven't even left the country but think their thinking and way of life is superior to everyone else's" was you're writing, not the ubiquitous, vague "They"!!!

Pay attention to what you write!

Because I said "Many people here haven't even left the country but think their thinking and way of life is superior to everyone else's", you translate that to mean I'm "denouncing the country and the freedom it represents while having a mere tourists perspective of the world".

YOU need to pay attention to what I write and stop jumping to conclusions. How is that denouncing the country and the freedom we enjoy here?

Here is an example of what I'm talking about.
Two guys get into a conversation about shopping malls and how nice they are in other countries. American guy says the best most impressive shopping malls are HERE, because well, its america and we have the best of everything. First guy says, have you ever travelled outside the country to see other impressive malls in places like dubai and south africa? Second guy says "No".

That's what I'm talking about guy, stop reading so hard and stop looking for politics in everything I write.

Wow, you guys are serious? Well I'm not gonna get into an argument here, but can I suggest some reading material? I'll start with the Koran. Learn the difference between a offensive and defensive jihad. Then look at history. Why has attacks against westerners only go back about 40 to 50 years, when the same ideology of middle easterners has been around since the 7th century? You have to understand the problem to see the solution. But it's ok, most Americans have no clue about this stuff either. Google bin ladens open letter to America. It's an explanation of the 9/11 attacks from the source. Of course war is profitable, so you gotta dig for the truth.

So you are saying that they hate us because we are over there?
