Why do Americans act innocent?
I'm not American nor am I from the Middle East, but recently (10th anniversary of 9/11 obviously) I've noticed some Americans have been making several anti-Islamic comments and they talk about Muslims as if they're the sole antagonists.

9/11 was the act of madmen, and yet ever since that day, millions of Muslims have been subjected to abuse (from verbal insults to rape/murder).
I'm not condoning terrorist activity but Imagine if your daughter was gang-raped by foreign soldiers? And you wonder why there are people burning US flags... Some people need to get some perspective.
RIP to the innocent victims of 9/11, both American AND Arabic.
Update:@Cool Dude, I hope your daughter gets raped and that your family gets killed. Maybe then you'll get some perspective and realise that innocent Muslims are being unfairly slaughtered and victimised.
Islam is disgusting? You really are a piece of sh!t. You should have died in 9/11, not the thousands of innocent people that did.
Comments
If anyone spoke of Israeli Jews the way people are speaking of Muslims about the globe, they'd be harassed and threatened with court action.

People bought into the White House 'version of events' hook, line and sinker.
Why is criticism of Israeli Foreign policy prevented and yet Muslim denigration is commonplace?
In Europe, it is punishable by law to criticize Israeli foreign policy:

In Canada, Israeli lobbyists are pushing our politicians to prevent any criticism of Israeli foreign policy:
There is a committee discussing making it illegal to criticize Israeli foreign policy....calling it "antisemitism".

That is as ludicrous as calling criticism of Canadian government policies..."anti‐Canadian".
Is criticism of the illegal Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territories really "Anti-Semitic"? A presentation by Norman Finkelstein:

Congressman Ron Paul states that Israel helped establish HAMAS, and during the 80's the US Central Intelligence radicalized the Muslim world and enlisted Osama Bin Laden to resist Russian hegemony.

This type of hypocrisy doesn't only exist in Americans, it exists in everyone.
Taking the example of the 9/11 attacks would be on the higher scale, things can be hypocritical on a lower level and us humans do it on a daily basis.
I have parents who are both South Korean and born just 3 years after the war between Japan. My dad especially dislikes all Japanese and constantly tells me that I shouldn't like them (I love Japanese people). And from my point of view, I find the hypocritical, stereotypical and even almost immature at the fact that he can't let go and deliberate continues to say that he dislikes all Japanese. My argument would be that he didn't mention the bad things that South Korea has obviously done as well, or that half the Japanese population these days wasn't the generation that killed the many Koreans and there are innocent individuals who doesn't deserve his hate.
However, what I do admit I didn't take into account was the fact that Dad was directly involved with this matter. He has had close family members killed in masses and the anger he feels, is the type that I won't ever be able to comprehend until I experience it myself.
Everyone has a right to be angry, and although it does seem to be very hypocritical, you just can't help it. People deal with their anger differently, and sometimes it's by discriminating an entire race. We cannot and should not dare to criticize the method in which the devastated people deal with their loss.
They are angry that they have lost family members whose only 'crime' was to go to work early on that day; every anniversary they get reminded of how much loss they have suffered and how much could've already happened if their loved ones were alive. They think of all the possibilities that never came to happen. They think of all those who had dreams and ambitions that were pitifully washed away by the acts of a group of terrorists.
I admit, if my parents were killed in that building just because of the fact that they went to work early, in my anger, I could say "I hate all muslims" and I'd be filled with hate for every time the anniversary came around. I know it's wrong, I know better than to discriminate all Muslims, but anger blinds me.
Of course, whatever the hell I'm rambling on about now doesn't justify the wrongs that some of the American's are committing on the Muslims. However, I'm just trying to say.
Everyone, especially those who HAVE someone to blame, are hypocritical... unfortunately, it just keeps moving in a circle.
frightening what number solutions parrot that previous " in case you probably did no longer something incorrect you haven't any longer something to stress approximately" baloney. reminds me of that previous tale or fantasy--first they got here for the Jews and that i did no longer talk up, then they got here for the union leaders and that i did no longer talk up, then they got here for the scientists and that i did no longer talk up, then they got here for the teachers and that i did no longer talk up, then they got here for me and there grow to be no one left to talk up for me. i've got have been given the main significant factors incorrect yet you get the belief. we've protection from unlawful surveillance for an exceedingly reliable reason, and we are secure no be counted if harmless or hiding some thing. even although, i'm in no way shocked that this got here approximately, that's what I easily have predicted ever because of fact the patriot act got here into being. advantageous desire that they had examine it first before they voted for it...it is the Patriot Act that allowed the exchange individuals criminal experts without Senate confirmation.
Islam is a disease you dumb@ss. When the jets flew into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and into Shanksville killing 3000 innocent America did any muslims protest around the world at the attacks? No they didn't.
They were instead cheering and saying 'Death to America' like the evil @ssholes they are.
And today outside one of our embassies in England they've been burning our flag.
Islam is disgusting and perverted.
God bless America and God bless the deceased of 9/11.
I agree with you. It's not just remembering 9/11 but also make Muslims or Arabs look bad for somethings they have nothing ever to do with.
Really? Playing victim again? Millions of Christians, Hindus, Jews, Buddhist have been slaughtered by Islam, and you are pissed at Americans for making a couple of comment?
That is mentality of Americans they live in a shell
