In engineering terms one would call that a basic instability in the system. For all emotions there is gain and damping. It would seem the damping of feeling of rage and hatred are somewhat missing in Islam. That's the surface analysis. I would suspect it has more to do with poverty and ignorance.

The nature of Islam seems to foister conditions of poverty and ignorance.

America reflects a Christian foundation. 50% of the population are not virtual slaves or mud people in effect.

In Christianity all men are created equal and one should not judge what is in their soul. Tolerance is an innate central concept.

That innate tolerance of difference is reflected in Americans and I believe a core component of America's materialistic success. Today those Americans who are grossly grouped as liberal I would call the most intollerant Americans.
