Your view is comparable to a ME adult saying that Americans teach their 13 year old kids to have unprotected sex with as many of their neighbors and Junior High School chums as possible, because it is enjoyable. Americans don't teach their kids to do that (as you know), but the media and the statistics (teenage pregnancy and abortion) indicate otherwise.

You may have read some books on Islam, but your knowledge of the real world of which you speak appears quite limited, and your rush to judgment is dangerous. You need to learn more about this subject before you come to such extreme conclusions.

Agreed. None of the Muslim people I known or have met briefly appeared hostile, angry or revengeful in any way. In fact, the only hostile Muslim I have met was a Saudi who was born in the US but raised in SA. One of his parents was American; the other Saudi. For various reasons, he hated America even though he was living here.

My friends who have worked in Qatar and Cairo echo my sentiments re. Muslims. It worries me that Americans are getting such a negative impression based upon 9/11 and Iraq.

There are, of course, hostile Muslims but to suggest they are all like that and that Islam is a religion of hate is ridiculous.
