People use the term "personal inadequacy" to denote some sort of failing on the part of the individual, as in:
PC: Because of his low socio-economic status, the Arab male feels a deep-seated resentment towards western society, springing from his own sense of "personal inadequacy".But this is manifestly, tautologically FALSE.[un-PC: Because of their low IQs, Arabs realize that they will never be able duplicate Caucasian society, and so resent it, hate it, and seek to destroy it.]
Muslims do not hate "The West" [read: "Christianity"] because of any sense of "personal inadequacy" on their parts; they hate "The West" because a wicked, evil, iniquitous document, called "The Koran," instructs them to hate "The West" and to destroy it:
Medina SurasAll of this "personal inadequacy" BS is just psycho-babble nonsense. They hate us because they are evil people following an evil, murderous, pagan religion. Period.
The Chapter of Women
[Chapters from the Koran]
The Harvard Classics 1909–14But if there befalls you grace from God, he would say—as though there were no friendship between you and him—‘O would that I had been with thee to attain this mighty happiness!’ Let those then fight in God’s way who sell this life of the world for the next; and whoso fights in God’s way, then, be he killed or be he victorious, we will give him a mighty hire.
What ails you that ye do not fight in God’s way, and for the weak men and women and children, who say, ‘Lord, bring us out of this town 19 of oppressive folk, and make for us from Thee a patron, and make for us from Thee a help?’
Those who believe fight in the way of God; and those who disbelieve fight in the way of Tâghût; fight ye then against the friends of Satan, verily, Satan’s tricks are weak.
Do ye not see those to whom it is said, ‘Restrain your hands, and be steadfast in prayer and give alms;’ and when it is prescribed for them to fight then a band of them fear men, as though it were the fear of God or a still stronger fear, and they say, ‘O our Lord! why hast thou prescribed for us to fight, couldst thou not let us abide till our near appointed time?’ Say, ‘The enjoyment of this world is but slight, and the next is better for him who fears;’—but they shall not be wronged a straw.
... Why are ye two parties about the hypocrites, when God hath overturned them for what they earned? Do ye wish to guide those whom God hath led astray? Whoso God hath led astray ye shall not surely find for him a path. They would fain that ye misbelieve as they misbelieve, that ye might be alike; take ye not patrons from among them until they too flee in God’s way; but if they turn their backs, then seize them and kill them wheresoever ye find them, and take from them neither patron nor help,—save those who reach a people betwixt whom and you is an alliance—or who come to you while their bosoms prevent them from fighting you or fighting their own people. But had God pleased He would have given you dominion over them, and they would surely have fought you. But if they retire from you and do not fight you, and offer you peace,—then God hath given you no way against them.
Ye will find others who seek for quarter from you, and quarter from their own people; whenever they return to sedition they shall be overturned therein: but if they retire not from you, nor offer you peace, nor restrain their hands, then seize them and kill them wheresoever ye find them;—over these we have made for you manifest power.
Adequacy and Inadequacy have nothing to do with it.

My original observations were in response to e pluribus unum's question, which as far as I can see was not about moslems.
I appreciate your attempts to come to grips with Islamism.
Since many moslems do not go about trying to kill infidels, it may be worth asking why some do and some don't.
An understanding at the individual level of the behavior and attitude of moslems, just as those of domestic Bush-haters might, mutatis mutandis, be worth your consideration.
Then again, you sound like you're really not that interested .
