    The Federalist and the Anti-Federalist.
    Neither of the two dominating political parties belong to the latter.

    blow back from military domination of their country

    the specifics may change but that's the bottom line

    human beings want to be free it is part of our very nature
    “If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

    - SAMUEL ADAMS

    Is there proof of these burned religious books? Could this just be a protest of our presence and the powers that be just can't report that as the reason? I'm sure they have very many pictures of the Koran being held like the one above to help with the story.
