Why are people so reluctant to think that Islam and Muslims on the whole are hateful and aggressive toward western peoples?

Because they aren't.

Try referring to that as her unclean week, obviously during that week. See what her reaction is.

I don't doubt for a second that it's true, but I think I need to point out that the problem is as much a cultural one as it is a religious one, if not more so. Western culture allows for the open practice of religion within a primarily secular society, which is completely different than it is in many middle eastern countries where religious doctrine forms the basis for their societal structure. While people in the US and Europe are comparatively open-minded and tolerant of cultural differences, they're not nearly so.

 

I don't have the ability to explain my point as well as I'd like, but I think that despite the fact that the refugees in Germany are being said to target Christians, what they're attacking is as much 'westernism' as it is people of a differing faith.

In other words, it's not just Christians they attack, it's everyone and anyone who isn't Muslim. Hmm...looks more like a religious problem, than a cultural problem to me.

This is one of about, oh a billion such images easily find-able of arabs/muslims protesting the US.

 

A billion? Ok got it Because that's one massive anti-US/Israel demonstration you posted there. I counted what, 20 people there. So that means there are 20 billion of them? That's impressive.

That's not even close to what I said, but if that's an easier way for you to look at it, then by all means.

What are you saying then?

 

I'm saying that the difference in cultures in as much the cause for the violence, if not more so, than the difference in religion.
