student reading two: a few explanations.

1. What questions do you have about the reading? How might they be answered?
I do not have any questions for this reading.
2.  Years have passed since President Bush's comments. What knowledge and evidence do you have to support, add to, amend, or oppose his explanation for terrorist acts? Why might jihadists want to overthrow certain Muslim governments? Drive Israel out of the Middle East? If you don't know how might you find out? 
President Bush states that they hate us because we stand in their way. I find this partly true. We have our beliefs, and we want others to follow. But if you think about it further, we really haven't done anything that effects them fully. Jihadists probably want to overthrow other Muslim governments because they stand in the way also. 
3. Even more years have passed since Bin Laden's harsh critique of the United States. What knowledge and evidence do you have to support, add to, amend, or oppose that critique.
Since even more years have passed since that statement and then more from the attack, and I oppose what he has said. It is in his own opinion that America has humiliated, and done all sorts of things. But that's from his end. We're trying to help them, I suppose. But with me saying this, I'm kind of contradicting myself with past answers. But their way of life isn't healthy to us, and we wanted to help. We wanted to bring justice. Justice that obviously wasn't wanted by them.
4. According to Wright, what has led to young men in Arab countries to find martyrdom attractive?
According to Wright, young Arab men found interest in martyrdom because they were deprived of all the "good" and "fun" things in life as children. They weren't given freedom, and were very poor. They needed something to make up for all of this, and that is what they found.
5. According to polling Muslim countries, how popular is Al Qaeda? Why?
According to the poll that was taken, Al Qaeda isn't that popular. They deny having any sort of link to it, probably because of the killings of civilians.
