I think the problem is the West believes itself superior to Middle Eastern culture and ideologies and vice versa. I think in all places. The vast majority of the people on the street want to live in peace and leave other people to be. A minority in both parties have a "us and then" mentality and believing themselves superior try and enforce their views on the world. These are the truly ignorant people. People say Muslims hate westerners and say hideous things against Westerners - I know plenty of people in the West who spout hatred about Muslims, and both sides will claim the other side "started it first".

I have so many Muslim friends and I get so upset by sweeping generalisations made against Muslims, usually from people who know nothing truly about Islam and who have never spoken to true Muslims in their lives.
