Did you know the greatest JIHAD is in the mind and not in a battlefield. Avoiding evil sights/seens etc?

avoiding yourself from showing off flashy clothing and cars. Looking at other woman or men other than your partner, in a sexually desirable manner.

Avoiding gambling.

Is this the reason why the west dislikes Islam?
(the demotivation of things that they like very much)

I know muslims are also doing it, but those are not permitted.

The problem is not with Jihad or the average Muslim. The problem is with those people who interpret Islam incorrectly and create destruction in the world.

I don't know, the whole trying to blow us up type of jihad seems like quite a deal to me. Also trying to take over the world, refusing to integrate, the whole hatred towards us, that kind of thing doesn't sit too well with most British and Americans.

Many Americans and Brits do not understand what jihad is, and because they want to hate, they will not understand even when it is explained to them.
2:6 "It makes no difference if you warn or do not warn them, they will not believe" 25:20 "We have made some of you as a trial for others".
The haters are a trial for the muslims, we must replace misunderstanding with knowledge (even if they reject it) and replace hateful speech with that which is better (sunnah).
Just like you have done here, even if they refuse to listen or believe.
The reason the west dislikes Islam (in my opinion) is that Islam is a threat to christianity, and they don't want to let go of their traditions for simple truth. 2:170 "When it is said to them, follow what Allah has revealed, they say Nay, we shall follow the ways of our fathers."

...and hows that going in places like the Emirates, Saudi, etc, where they have the resources to do such things?

I don't think the "West" "dislikes" Islam as such, but the preception that Islam as practiced in some places is autocratic, devaluing of women, and hating of our freedom causes "the West" to view it with suspicion.

i don't think the sacrifice the Followers of Islam make in their mind is a problem. It's the whole "Murder Mouse" and kid/bomb thing that twists my nipples.

the whole world domination thing kinda tweaks me too
