The Islamic Quandry

When it comes to the western world Isalm seems to me to have a split personality. It is totally on their part a love/hate relationship and it is always torn between its feelings of admiration for the west and the massive inferiority complex that it carries around when it compares itself to the west.
Sooner or later it is going to have to decide which emotion is going to be the dominant one. There is no doubt in my mind that much of the venom that the Islamic world spits out towards the west is in fact a jealousy. They look out at the west and they see that they dont compare and it bothers them. They see a world that is dominated by the west in nearly every way and it fosters a jealous rage within them that manifests itself in the tension that is currently dominating the world scene. How long can they keep up the charade? How long is the western world going to have to put up with watching muslims on tv screaming in a mob at the western nations shouting phrases like "Death to America" and then when they go home they drive in their American invented cars, talk on their cell Phones, turn on their tv's that are all hooked up to satellite dishes on their roof tops after they have been protesting all day in their sneakers and then log on to their computers and surf the web so they can find one of thousands of anti western websites and then type in their hate with phrases like "The Great Satan" and "Down with the West?" My point being that they say they hate the west but they buy into every aspect of it. They go to McDonald's to eat just like you and i do. They all come over to the west to get educated and then go home to protest the west. I think all this hatred stems from some kind of collective inferiority complex that they grapple with. They look at the west and see all that they wish they could be. They see that the west is militarily superior, economically superior, politically superior, much more progressive culturally and socially and they get to feeling inferior and jealous about it and then you get the resentment that that evokes and the next thing you know you have a bunch of them on the street shouting with their "Death to America" routine over any political "slight" large or small. They are like Joe Pesci"s character in the movie "Goodfellas." The little wild guy with the inferiority complex who walks into the room with the most to prove who over reacts at the smallest provacation and who is never big enough to let it go. They spit their venom out at the west with such a passion that you can feel the envy that they have even fron 5000 miles away sometimes. The Arab world is like Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hyde when it comes to the west. They protest and protest violently against the west but underneath it you can sense that on a certain level they wish that they could be like the west in terms of its technological achievments, medical advances, and so forth. The Arab world when it comes to the west is like a 10 year old boy who has a 20 year old brother. It is not as capable as its older brother is, not as intelligent, not as sophisticated or developed and it does not like that so it decides to resent him, blame him for all his own problems and strike out at him. In the process they do themselves the most damage of all. Think about it, was the attack on 9-11 worth it in the long run? They killed nearly 3000 innocent Americans on that day. God knows how many Arabs, innocent and not innocent, have perished since then because of that day. In the final analysis Osama Bin Laden is going to be responsible for more deaths of more arab people than anyone in history because of his actions and the World Trade Center is going to have a bunch of new, modern buildings on it. Whatever damage he does or tries to do to the west from here on out is only going to be met with a much larger retaliation so what is he accomplishing in the end? His war against the west was an emotional reaction and not very well thought out intellectually. That's quite a surprise for a religious fanatic isint it?
