They want people to turn against them, so muslim people in Western countries would feel like outcasts and support their claims of "West is evil". So far they're suceeding. It's their way of recruiting.

And, yes, I'm sad about the victims.

Come to think of it, are there contemporary cultures that you might call western that are more or less successfully assimilated Muslim minority? Or maybe otherwise, Muslim culture assimilating western minority?

So far, the non-extreme Muslims have failed to acknowledge that their religion, especially the ideological aspect of it, is a big problem. I don't hear them saying "Okay, we need to stop this kind of terrorism and admit that our religion needs huge reform" except Majid Nawaaz. The non-extreme Muslims have responsibilities, too, so to solely blame Western countries is rather counterproductive.

I think both cultures have their responsibilities, for sure. But I think some people in this thread are failing to see that we're also to blame. I'm not putting a percentage in each culture (that would be silly XD). But it's getting worse, so we're obviously doing things wrong.

I would say in general, the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia have done the best job at assimilating. (The problem is, it is starting to be reversed because of the war on terror & Iraq war aftershocks.) 

France actually is one of the more divided at assimilation. 

Your logic is so sound, may I present your logic back to you, The West is globally hated for a reason, get with the times. Such a perfect chain of a thought, five stars. 

(I don't like religion as the next guy (more than most), but what I do hate is loevely generalization). 

Grow some balls and post on your main account, don't hide behind an alt. 

Those countries doesn't strike me like they have substantial Muslim minorities (% of Muslims in population):

US (0,6% as of 2008)
Canada (3,2% as of 2011)
Australia (2,2% as of 2011)
UK (4,4% as of 2011)

Let's start from 5% and up, or maybe 10% and up? For comparison:

France (7-9% as of 2015)
Germany (5,4% as of 2009)

By the less intelligent percentage of the population,which thankfully is not the largest percentage. The rest can see the bigger picture and can take a more sensible view of things, a view that doesn't suit their agenda. Why not post with your main account, if you truly believe what you are saying?

And Muslims arn't globally hated.... I know you'd like that to be true but it just isn't.

Wonder how much better or worse our world would have been if Iran took Iraq in the 80s (Pity the west interfered because the Saudis were scared). Saddam would have never been in power, to be taken out of power, to cause instability, to create this organization.
