Well, sometimes you should perpetuate a conflict is you have a legitimate of difference of opinion. If you sweep differences under the rug, you tend to just let your differences fester. I think people should feel pressure to accept secularism and human rights. And, I think most American Muslims do accept those things and they're a part of the solution globally. If Muslims around the world were like American Muslims in terms of their beliefs, there really wouldn't be much problem.
Oh come on, that's just ridiculous. These aren't roommates upset over which way the toilet paper goes. You really think that showing up, actively antagonizing local Muslims and propping up secular forces is going to lead to less people hating America?! I've got some beachfront property in Des Moines to sell you dude.
What do you mean? I never said this was about American foreign policy. I said it's about opposing the values of Muslim extremists. That will antagonize extremists, but not the majority.
