The various sects of those superstitious fundamentalists you mention have been killing and burning each other alive for centuries and centuries. You know the sects from Persia against the Arabs, the Sunnis against the Shiites, just to mention a few. Even before the US existed in the 1700's they were killing each other. The centuries old hatreds between these groups has been going on since 800 AD . Some ignorant people go through life blindly hating the US.
