Dear hmdphantom,
This is a very difficult subject, I wish I was sitting with you in person. I think the US (and the West) is afraid of Islam, and I think the Islamic
countries are afraid of the West.
You believe correctly that some aspects of Western culture are bad. But how can you keep them out? By censoring TV, movies, internet, and radio?
Will the Islamic countries forbid anyone travel to a non-Islamic country? Walling yourselves off won't work. Christians face worldly temptations,
so do Muslims. You have to find a way for the believer to be strong in himself in resisting those temptations.
You also believe correctly that the Western military is all over the area, tearing big holes and causing death. But the question is "Why is the West
doing this?" I think the answer is that some Muslims want to destroy the West with bullets and bombs, but their own countries can't stop them so
the West believes it has to stop them.
I know language is a problem, please tell me where I'm going wrong.
With respect,
