"...and aggression could not have been used to humiliate Muslims everywhere!"

A big difference I see between Muslims and other religions is this trumped up "honor" that must be protected and this greatly exagerated "humiliation" which must be avoided. Where other religions teach an outgoing and God seeking attitude, Islam seems to be centered inwardly to an idividual who is so important that "honor" must be respected to the nth degree and humiliation can come from even the most innocent action. Although they are big on giving Allah praise for everything they certainly seem very self-important. They hide that by saying they are Muslims therefore any insult to them is an insult to Allah. I think that is just using Allah to conceal vanity.

I don't think I am going to convert. :-)

The Arabs imported their tribalized shame culture into Islam. Just like street corner thugs they have a thin skinned sense of pride and a chip on their shoulder the size of a pond cake and constantly scrutinize the most banal actions for evidence of 'disrespect'. Islam is like living in a huge prison exercise yard with tens of millions of bros demanding 'respect' 24/7.
