Go to Saudi Arabia, home to the most important shrines in Islam. It is here where 26+ million people are indoctrinated with hate against the west and Israel. (etc... -hg)

Saudia Arabia may be nominally an Islamic country but it is not an Islamic government. It is a monarchy, not a caliphate. Its culture is as much tied to the pre-Islamic Arab era as to Islamic teaching itself. And the "indoctrinated" people who side with Osama bin Laden also hate their own government, which they do not recognize as legitimate.

My life is outdated, ugly, and vicious? (edit)
Okay at first I flamed you for your ignorant and offensive statement, but I thought I could do better than that.
Look, I'm not a very religious person myself... you could say that I'm struggling with religion. Now I go to a catholic university, and the jesuit priests i've met here are some of the most amazing people I've seen. their conviction, their integrity, their wisdom, all stems from the strength of their faith, their godly way of life.
I have been around Muslims all my life. Correctly practiced, it can (just like Catholicism) be a beautiful way of life, like any other religion. It can add balance and peace to families and communities. It can make people humble and generous.
So STOP stereotyping an entire faith based on the actions of a few twisted people.
That said, I do believe that a conflict between the world (not just "The West") and
militant, intolerant Islam is inevitable and necessary. And I will be on the right side, as will every true Muslim I know.
