The leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt says that Muslims hate the United States because of its support for Israel. But this hate-filled freak can’t even bring himself to use the word “Israel.” Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood says Bush has missed the point. (Hat tip: Dom.) The “point” that Bush “missed” is: Muslims want to destroy the “Zionist entity,” and until we let them, they’re going to hate us.

The resentment felt by Muslims toward the United States is mainly due to Washington’s support for Israel, and not only its support of dictatorships, Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood warned.

“There is a great deal of truth in the fact that US support to tyrannical regimes is one reason for the hatred expressed toward the United States,” said the Brotherhood’s leader, Maamoun al-Hodeibi.

“But the most important reason for the Muslim people’s hatred of the United States is its total bias toward the Zionist entity … and US aggression in Iraq and Afghanistan; Bush ignored these,” Hodeibi told AFP.

Such lovely people.

UPDATE: A great comment from “Occasional Reader” (who needs a new nickname, based on his frequent comments):

Ah, I see: so you hate us for supporting dictatorships; and you hate us for overthrowing dictatorships.

Whatever.
