We may see it different because we both live in different parts of the Western World. Here on this end I see Islam being very well tolerated and even exerted a lot of influnce in the areas of high Muslim presence. It is also extremely well accepted in Mexico. I believe Mexico will be predominatly Muslim in the foreseeable future.
I will admit there does seem to be some problems in Canada in the Toronto area. But Canada has a much smaller Muslim population.
The Muslim Population is quite large, however there are few Masjids and the existing ones are quite small. But, you will find many Muslims during prayer time in the larger cities praying in the open plazas and numerous parks.
Canada Mexico and The USA are the only Western Countries I have personaly been in within the past 5 years. It is based on what I have seen as my reason for saying I do not see any war on Islam. But, reading these threads it seems the situation in the UK is much different than here.
One must also clarify and distinguish between the people (be it individual, groups) within the society i.e. USA, and the people (be it individual groups) that are in authority or and their foreign policy i.e. their goals and intention in other parts of the world.
One of the resounding statement one will hear is we are bringing democracy to the world, we are fighting terrorism. How true that statement must sound to the lay person. Well you can Judge.
So what is apparent in front of one's eye from one's geographical sphere, the attitude of people around one, is not neccessarily inclusive to the intention of other people especially their intention in the other parts of the world. The manifestation of it is clear.
I do wan't to clarify this: if I do make statement mainly with certain emphasis on U.S or other western countries I am not exactly alluding to the general public within those geographic or what is going on within although this can give hints.
Nor I am trying to say something bad about the american or british people.
Oyeah One more thing to add, Don't think I am blaming all on west or something, but their is enough blame to go on about. However I am pointing to the current activities of the western countries on other parts of the world.
