If on a personal level they were to leave me to go about my business, and i did the same with (you) them wouldnt (you) they feel the same way, are these tensions avoidable?

Your question is biased and shows ignorance of basic tenets of Islam and the other two major middle eastern religions of war - Christianity and Judaism. I suggest you read the core books for each and re post in a few years.

They dont hate us INDIVIDUALLY, they hate us COLLECTIVELY. Its not just Islamics either. Hardcore Christians hate us too. In America we tend to live as though we are the only people in the world. Everyone else is here to make it easier for us. As a society we have accepted things that are against the basic tenets of almost every major religion into our daily lives. We eat till we are stuffed (Sloth), we sleep around (Lust), we put our jobs and our money before our families (Greed).....etc. We go against all of the things that make up the moral mase of the major religions and then we try to export our view to other countries where religion is still more prevalent in every day life. Even religion in America is a marketing tool. Television evangelists and mega-cathedrals are more for the glory of the preacher up front than for the glory of any deity. Step back and take an honest look at the MORAL state of our country and ask again why people from other countries feel the way they do. Thats not to say they are perfect there either, but they arent setting up military bases in our country and trying to get us to convert to their belief system.

The Koran, invented by Mohammed, but based mostly on the bible in style, preaches to convert them or slay them. No other middle ground.
It was set up so that he could gain local political control of the region he was in, half a millenia ago. Sadly, it survived to be twisted by extremists.
I have no problem with peaceful Muslims, and those exist, certainly. But...It's a big problem now, and getting worse.

Westerners have more freedom ( from religious guilt) that muslims and they resent it
