Why the Hate? America, from a Muslim Point of View

In the aftermath of September 11th, George W. Bush made an ultimatum to the world: "Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists." But for many followers of Islam—a global community that includes more than a billion devotees—the choice is not that simple. This timely ABC News program explores the mixed emotions felt by many Muslims toward the U.S. Topics on the agenda include American culture, often perceived as offensive, and U.S. foreign policy, frequently viewed as threatening. By capturing individual opinions and attitudes, correspondent Chris Bury addresses common themes in an effort to answer the question of a stunned American populace: "Why do they hate us so much?" (44 minutes)
