Worldwide Islamic conflicts: Chechnya, Uzbekistan, Thailand, Somolia, Sudan and Dafur genocide, Chad, Phillipines, Indonesia, Lebanon, Palastine, Iraq, Algeria, Southern India, Kashmir, etc..
Muslims worldwide are making people feel very uncomfortable, but wimpy naive Americans continue to show tolerance for the religion of ultimate intolerance. Maybe its because Americans are weak, like Bin Laden claims.
Why would Muslims change anyway? Is there any pressure to do so? None at all! The worst you ever hear in the media is some wimpy innuendo like "well, it would be nice if Muslims addressed some of their issues". Oh yea, If Im Muslim, Im just quaking in my boots. What a joke.
If anything, weak pathetic Americans have been trying to be even nicer to ignorant self righteous Islamists.
What if the environement felt very very different to them...might they be willing to change their hate cult some? Change never happens without pressure. Youre pusssies....honestly....pusssies.

It would be nice if you were a little less crude in describing the American public but I agree with you. Islam is a religion that I wish could be banished from our country! If they are so hell-bent on killing , send them all to a certain spot somewhere in the deserts of the middle east and let them fight each other. Ok, that wasn't nice either but you get my point, I hope......

There are different kinds of strength. The one you obviously admire is dominant strength--the "I can make you do what I want you to do and you aren't strong enough to stop me!" variety. Intriguingly, that's the same kind of strength the terrorists admire, the same kind that you're *saying* Muslims admire, although Islam itself is by no means represented by just those extremists.
This is the strength of bullies, the strength that fears that if you're not stronger than someone else, the someone else will GET you.
A second kind of strength--the strength Jesus represented, in fact, and I say that without being a Christian--is partnership strength, the ability to be so strong in oneself that one needn't *worry* about what the other person is doing, as long as that other person isn't hurting you. This is the more enduring strength, because it doesn't embrace fear. So the very aspects of the USA that you mock are, in my opinion, signs of admirable strength--and one that has been missing from a great deal of our politics over the last few years.
Mind you, when we are attacked, that counts as being hurt, and we should fight back--AGAINST THE PEOPLE WHO ATTACKED US (the terrorists of 9/11, for example, did not have the sanction of the Islamic world and were in fact Saudis, so attacking Iraq or Muslims over it makes little sense). "Making people feel uncomfortable," on the other hand, isn't an attack--unless you're a wimp.
As for whether we should pressure Americans who happen to be Muslim to change by making them feel bad? First of all, it wouldn't work--it just escalates, like bullies shoving each other in the schoolyard. Secondly, it would show how fearful we really were (if the majority of us were and, luckily, we aren't). And thirdly, it goes against everything that makes America great. So--no.

Would they feel less comfortable in a Muslim country. I think i would be quite happy with a little discomfort than being out in the ME

Yes they feel peoples very uncomfortable by resisting your evil attack s in those places !! you are very right :S
Let someone attack America and i will ask you how NICELY would you treat them !!!
The reality is that muslims are very peaceful nation but your brutal attacks are making them resist.......even a small bird never let enemy to take its place .
Be in muslims shoe and USE your hypocrite mind and feel what they are suffering from...........And how many troubles you christains are giving them in their OWN places.
I wish people would get honest enough to judge themselves where they are standing and wht harm they are doing to others and still love to be called INNOCENTS
America trying to be nice to them??? LOL.........A BIG JOKE !!!
