Why do you hate Western Civilization?

I have not been on Fluther as long as most of you. But it seems clear to me that some of you think that Western civilization, and in particular it’s wealthy and muscular sibling, the US, is a force of evil on earth. I think it is clear to those of you who have noticed my comments on Fluther, that I do not agree with that point of view. Fair enough. But let’s face it. There is no other civilization on earth that promotes the virtue of the sovereignty of the individual (i.e. “human rights”) than the US. So, given the fact that all over the world, people mutilate women’s genitals, stone women to death for social indiscretions, burn people alive for not following the Koran, and fly airplanes into office buildings and incinerate innocents because they are infidels etc., just what is your gripe? When I was in the service, I ran into a few of the folks, in the Middle East, that you seem to admire. The truth is, most of them are crazy, and they would welcome the opportunity to cut off your head with a bread knife. So what is it. Why do you hate the West?
