When the Gallup organization asked Muslims around the world and Westerners what they admired most and least about the West, both groups gave the same answers: They admired Western technology and democracy, but were disappointed by the breakdown of family values and morality.
Who Speaks for Islam?: What a Billion Muslims Really Think is about this silenced majority. This book is the product of a mammoth, multiyear Gallup research study. Between 2001 and 2007, Gallup conducted tens of thousands of hour-long, face-to-face interviews with residents of more than 35 nations that are predominantly Muslim or have substantial Muslim populations. The sample represents residents young and old, educated and illiterate, female and male, and from urban and rural settings. With the random sampling method that Gallup used, results are statistically valid within a plus or minus 3-point margin of error. In totality, we surveyed a sample representing more than 90% of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, making this the largest, most comprehensive study of contemporary Muslims ever done.

Muslims aren't the only ones disappointed by America's breakdown in family values.
Christians, Buddhists, atheists, and agnostics are upset with it too. But our current political system is so "politically correct" it stimulates the further breakdown in family values, and family life. This is the same theme that occurred in Rome during its final years, which ultimately guided the empire into breakdown - according to predominate historians.
But, the ignorant masses demand their way - alas, they do not give a single thought to the repercussions of what will happen when they get what they want. We live in an instant gratification society. Unfortunately instant gratification can cause more problems than good.
The minority desire the change. The majority desire stronger moral values and ethics.
But the minority, because of political correctness, get their way.... We cannot hurt their feelings.

The breakdown of family values stared when people relaxed their morals and lost faith in jesus.
That's saying something considering I'm an atheist.

Unless they live in the U.S then I don't care what the rest of the muslims think of us.

How many American parents have homeless kids fighting mental disability and drug addiction on their own destroying themselves and their community?
We can do this tit for tat.

The idea that you believe that parents around the world think so little of their children that they would strap them up with explosives and send them out to die, or barring that, that it is somehow indicative of the Muslim mindset to do so.
My guess is that you aren't a parent.
