Are Christians and North American's cowards?

First of all not all muslims are terrorists, nor do most muslims support terrorists. So the majority of muslims would simply be insulted, and those who are terrorists will recieve further justification of their hatred for the US and Christians and will probably be able to recruit more people 'cause of it.

Also, about the "cowardly" thing, since when is it "cowardly" to take the high road and be civilised? The only instances I'd call Wsterners cowardly is when they don't speak up about things like muslim men beating their wives, or muslim women refusing to not wear their burkhas in inappropriate situations. I certainly see nothing brave about some nut jobs who want to burn the Qu'ran (at least the cartoons were for comedy).

The small problem is that last time when west was proud and mighty and happy from the cultural superiority it ended like this:

and costed our civilization 1000 years of development.
