Can one only have dialogue with them on their terms? If I am to respect their beliefs, why can't they respect mine? Which include, based on observations, in Arab countries particularly, that they exhibit hypocrisy, (Chinese whores galore), racism, and antiquated, smug, holier-than-thou, impositional and deeply offensive attitudes. Plus they're bad drivers, never heard of courtesy. And which include that we are all God experiencing consciousness, if there is one. Forget the big daddy in the sky concept, we are here to learn to love, honour and respect one another and create an inheritable world for ALL our children, which necessitates a bit of a hold on the overbreeding programme, brothers and sisters!

No offense but your argument does contain a bit of anger toward muslims. The muslim religion was not founded on hatred much like the christian religion was not founded on hatred. Unfortunately you have groups of intollerance that tend to dominate. Its the old don't tolerate the intollerant business. Unfortunately too much intollerance is tolerated and then everyone thinks of christians as psycho baptists and muslims and men that beat their wives. A good friend of mine is an indonesian muslim and he is the nicest guy you could ever have for a friend. I don't think there is anything in your list of muslim problems that isn't part of collective society. You don't have to be a muslim to drive your SUV while talking on your cell and having your starbucks in one hand and jelly donut in the other. Muslims haven't cornered the market on hypocrasy, racism (kkk are anti-muslim), etc. There isn't much more antiquated the current republican party -- when is cheney going to die anyway?
I think mostly the problems you address are societal problems that muslims have adopted as well. I could introduce you to my dad if you want to meet a non muslim hypocrital racist with a smug holier than thou attitude who is a very impositional and offensive kind of guy.

Not all of them are like that. Not all arabs are Muslim either. I am half arabic and I am a christian. My dad is muslim and there are some of his own family that take offence to what ever anyone says about muslims. My dad has always said if they are talking about him they are leaving someone else alone. In the old country they have far different views on life and politics then we do here in the states. I agree that they are not good drivers but then again neither are a lot of americans. I was born here in the states as was my dad so things that go on over there I do not know anything about except for what I see on the news. This world is made up of many different cultures and many different religions it is very hard to get anyone to agree on any one thing especially when you are talking about ones culture or heritage. My advice to you is when speaking with someone of the Muslim faith talk about the weather you can't go wrong there.

Islam didn't had the same kind of childhood Christianity had. When you're being lit as a tar-torch or martyred by despots, you learn to listen and keep quiet. The warrior spirit that the crusaders carried around has had both world wars to cool down: maybe it's Islam's turn to learn a few home truths about God and religion. Pity.

Based upon observations in the news I feel Muslims/Arabs are simply mean and intolerant people. And yes I feel they are a threat to peace in the world. If I am wrong then it's up to them to exhibit actions to change my mind. Until then I remain convinced.

Racism is a mental illness. Racists are the dregs of every tribe of man.

Yes, I must agree on most of your points. However, much the same could be said of most religions. You can have religion all the days of your life and still be spiritually dead.

I agree with you. However, not all Muslims are like that. Don't judge people with/according their religion. Judge them personally with none other.

Yes I agree. But I am sure not all are like that, just select few.
Just like other religions, cultures, etc....have the bad, there is the good to match.

Yeah but they're not as bad as those damned whities, You can't say anything about whites without them calling you a racist, such insecure hypocritical snobs, all of them violent zealots who think they own the world and all of them are perverted. Compared to 'the man' I don't think Muslims even rate mentioning.
