I don't have t.v. anymore, but in one of the articles I read it said that he believed that "Americans use the Bible to invade other countries." Although I feel the death penalty is appropriate in this case, I also see his point. I think this is an insight into why so many people in other countries hate Americans.
A lot of people that come to America from places like Croatia have had their country invaded...sometimes three times! It can destroy them, psychologically. The man I'm thinking of hated everybody and didn't speak to anyone at work. The uncle of these boys described them the same way. "They hated everybody." I've seen this with one of my Russian ballet teachers. He came here, and worked here, but he despised us. I think it's more common in subcultures than we know.
I had another ballet teacher who was from Egypt, but trained at the Kirov school from age 9-17 in Russia. He is Muslim, and extremely talented. He really resented American women who were powerful and succesful. His idea of a woman's place was very, very low. Even though he lived here, his ideas and beliefs reflected a society where women have no rights. They bring all that with them when they come here. It's no wonder we have so much conflict. It's perfectly fine to beat up your wife and children in a lot of these countries.
