Yes and no. Yes there is lots to be angry at bigots for, and every war America has been involved in since WW2 has been a stalemate and quagmire that really ends up doing nothing but wasting money and getting civilians and soldiers needlessly killed.
But it still does not justify the horrible interpretations of the Quran and Hadiths that have even Sunni's and Shiites killing each other.Two wrongs don't make a right, and again, between the east and the west, the west is still a much more open society with many more protections of minorities and free speech. No we are NOT perfect, but we also are not run on one sect of one religion.
Alot of misunderstanding between the west and east is still due to one part of the world still living in an antiquated past. 7 billion humans should tell all parties that nobody in reality is the alpha male and in the end we should treat each other as individuals FIRST.
If Muslims don't like guilt by association, what makes them think westerners like that either. I don't always agree with what my government does, but I am still stuck here regardless.
