Christopher Hitchens debunks the lie that Islam hates the United States because of it's foreign policy and Israel.
WAR AGAINST ISLAM
United States’ first war—which erupted before it could even elect its first president — was against Islam.
The Shores of Tripoli refers to the First Barbary War (1801-1805), where the United States fought against the Barbary pirates from Tripoli, who were attacking American merchant ships. This conflict marked America's first military engagement overseas and is memorialized in the U.S. Marine Corps hymn.

Congress initially decided to emulate the Europeans by placating and paying off the terrorists, though it would take years to raise the demanded ransom. Inevitably, however, hostilities again broke out, leading to the Barbary Wars (1801 to 1805; again in 1815). But by now, the U.S. had built six war vessels.
The United States’ first war—which erupted before it could even elect its first president and intermittently lasted some 30 years—was against Islam; and the latter had initiated hostilities on the same rationale that had been used to initiate hostilities for the preceding 1,200 years.
Though most Americans are now unaware of their nation’s first military conflict, references to it are common. The oldest paean of the U.S. armed forces, “The Marines’ Hymn,” boasts of fighting everywhere for “right and freedom—including as far as “to the shores of Tripoli.” And the oldest U.S. military monument was made to honor those Americans who fought and died in the Barbary Wars. According to its plaque, “‘Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute’ became the rallying cry for this war.”
The turbaned heads of the vanquished enemy appear at the foot of the eagle-topped column. (Needless to say, although the United States’ oldest monument was for decades located inside the Capitol Building, it now rests in the much less conspicuous faculty club of the Naval Academy in Annapolis.)
In short, although the question “Why do they hate us” became immensely popular after 911, it was actually answered during America’s founding, including through a little remembered letter written to Congress [239] years ago.
