The huge misconception that people in America and also from around the world believes is that the Middle East “hates” Americans. Whether or not they “hate” Americans, it’s not just simply for the act of hating. The conflict is much deeper than that. It’s the fear of Westernization that drives the Middle Eastern culture and people to think that Americans are their enemy. The Middle East has prized itself on keeping it’s culture free from Western influence, and any country that threatens that becomes the Middle East’s enemy. The Middle East is scared of America. They see it as a nation trying to change the way they’ve lived fro hundreds of years. Americans are also frightened by the Middle Eastern way of life as well because it’s so different from their society. It isn’t hate that drives the two ways of life apart but ignorance and the fear of the unknown.
