Here is the problem.
If you come to America seeking a new and better life, then you need to leave the politics of the middle-east back in the middle-east.
The problem comes when people come to America expecting America to change for them, not vice-versa.
When westerners go to the east they are told countless number of times to respect the eastern culture.
So why is it when people from the east come to the west, that this rule is ignored.
The truth is that muslims do not respect westerners because most are not muslims. They think westerners are infidels worthly of slaughter.
When faced with this pattern of thought, I see no room for any common ground.
