So Why Do They Hate Us? Hashmat Moslih
The 11th of September is a gruesome celebration of a gruesome act committed by the leaders of the Western civilization. It is the celebration of the death of logic. Logic died when the Western leaders demanded that the occupied must provide security for the occupier. In such an environment of world order, attacks like that of 11th of September are inevitable and nothing is going to prevent it. Humanity has reached a deadlock - war is the only path in resuscitating “reason” and “logic’. What happened to “reason” and “logic” and where enlightenment is are questions which can only be answered by analyzing the roots of the political psychology of our era. An honest analysis of the guiding political psychology of our times will lead us to the answer of the most heart aching question amongst the western population in general and USA in particular, “why do they hate us”?
Those who carried out the 11th of September attacks were not born terrorist or barbarians, they were simply the products of modernity. They did not suffer from lack of modernity, they are the victims of hyper-modernity. It all begun when we accepted the notion of “scientific objective truth” as the torch of guidance towards prosperity. Subjective man tricked his fellow subjective man to believe in him as “objective”. Moral certainty had to make way for scientific relativity. The truth was proclaimed dead and "truths" were celebrated and embraced.
