The whole continent is shit. Egypt fucking hate Americans. Everybody hates Americans.


While I'd agree that Africa is an impoverished AIDS-infested backward excrement-hole, I'd disagree with the part about "everybody hates Americans".

The Muslim world hates us, yes. Although many of them live in the U.S. and enjoy religious freedom and economic opportunity they'd never have in their home countries.

But sub-Saharan Africa loves the U.S., because we provide them with a lot of foreign aid and development, that gives them goodwill toward us.

And Eastern Europe loves us, because they see us as their protection from Russia, since the Iron Curtain disappeared.

I think most actually like Americans and American culture, they just disagree with our foreign policy, often because they are never exposed to a pro-American counter-viewpoint, just a steady diet of anti-American propaganda.
Again: the free-est form of Islam practiced in the world is in the United States. And we fought wars to protect Muslims in Bosnia, Kosovo, Kuwait and Iraq. We've also given humanitarian aid (post-earthquake, post-tsunami) to islamic Iran, Pakistan and Indonesia. In a fair debate, they wouldn't hate us. If they actually do.
