My Trip To Al-Qaeda, by Lawrence Wright (Part 4 - 9)

Why do they hate us? That's a question many Americans have been asking about radical Muslims ever since al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four jetliners and attacked our nation nine years ago.

Lawrence Wright, a staff writer for The New Yorker, often asked that same question while researching his book, The Looming Tower: al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11. The book alone, which won a Pulitzer Prize is informative enough and goes a long way toward providing some answers (we'll never have them all). But Wright took things a step further by turning his material into a critically-acclaimed one-man play, My Trip to al-Qaeda. And now his material shows up in yet another form of media—a movie by the same title which features snippets from Wright's stage play, interviews, documentary footage, photographs, and more.

@Nusrat5791, I was raised with Islam and I can agree with you that Muhammad was nothing more than a war lord with a message to enslave the world. Muhammad the pariah was nothing but a mass killing machine like Genghis Khan, except that he was not a liar like Muhammad.

@Welle92, ignorant child you can try to hide the truth all you want but people that were taxed by your stinking prophet it was a secondary tax for people that would not accept Islam and it bankrupted them, people that did not convert would eventually become broke, bankrupt, impoverished. Now they needed some and to get help and they worked with them but they were few. This is Islam fool.

@jesswed i was born into islam, and i learned enough about islam by age 18 to leave it for reason.

while all religions are somewhat silly, islam takes the cake for being idiotic. the ludicrous stuff uttered by muhammad, claiming to be god;s messenger, will make anyone with half a brain double up with laughter. and his penchant for killing, torture and general blood letting will make any decent human being disgusted. @seanamico

@MattyJames25, Islam has not now or ever been my chosen religion or anyone else in the world, it is a cult that has forced itself and once you are born into this cult you can only get out by death, so spare me your rubbish.

Islam is a backward, ignorant, arrogant cult of an Arab war lord out to get rich and to enslave as many people as he could and kill anyone that stood in his way, the way of Arabs and the barbarian called Muhammad.

@jesswed "SALAM REMEMBER THIS NOT A ISLAMIC NATION..READ WHAT IS ISLAMIC NATION.. "

Remember, this is the land of Muhammad, the founder of your chosen religion. These are his descendents living in the same manner under which he directed them to do. I think it is great that you as an English speaking, educated, modern Muslim with an internet connection feel Islam SHOULD be different, but your view isn't pure Islam: this is.

@jesswed, You really dont know much about Islam do you.

SALAM REMEMBER THIS NOT A ISLAMIC NATION..READ WHAT IS ISLAMIC NATION..

Looking at the pictures of the Royal family makes me sick to my stomach.

@Welle92, I love how full of crap people like you have always been, the lies & deceit you can no longer force on people that know the truth. People in every nation forced into poverty, many worst than others and very few could prosper.

History is proof & that is not your Islamic lies but real history, not the rubbish your Imams and other ignorant so called Islamic Scholars that are full of crap.

@seanamico

yes an that tax is like 10 dollars a month.

and you couldnt support the other claims with proofs, indeed u are a fool
