A crowd of hardline Islamic protesters chanted the name of Osama bin Laden outside the US Embassy in London
ThisisLondon:
The protesters included many men whose faces were covered by their headscarves and at least a number of women.
Their demonstration "against the desecration of the Koran" was being held yards from the steps of the Embassy in Grosvenor Square, which was guarded by a small detail of police.
The crowd, led by a man on a megaphone, chanted "USA watch your back, Osama is coming back" and "Kill, kill USA, kill, kill George Bush".
They also chanted "Bomb, bomb New York" and "George Bush, you will pay, with your blood, with your head".
Angry demonstrators waved placards which included the message: "Desecrate today and see another 9/11 tomorrow."

Three things:
1. I don't blame people for being upset at the civilian deaths in Iraq (part of what motivates these people, no doubt), and more widely in the 'War on Terror', which all totaled now amount to many times the number killed on 9/11;
2. Protestors like this are friggin' nutcases, and it cannot be assumed they will stop at chanting slogans; and why isn't this sort of thing prosecutable 'hate speech', or whatever -- I mean, wasn't there just a short time ago a bit here about a woman in England who got in extra hot water for calling someone an "immigrant doctor"?
3. Despite the mostly rightheaded condemnation of such 'blame the victim talk', it is still worth asking...Why do they hate us so much?
I fully match with whatever thing you have written.
