Well you are 100% correct that apologies to Muslism are useless and counter productive. Muslims have one set of rules for Muslim to Muslism interaction and another set of rules for interacting with the non Muslim. The non Muslism is a held in contempt and his kind gestures are puzzling to the Muslim and considered weakness

Aggressive Muhammad, aggressive Koran, aggressive phony god allah, aggressive Muslims with their eternal Jihad

Precisely. It is a dark-ages war culture, which sees all of creation falling into two categories -- "the house of peace" (Islam) and "the house of war" (everyone else).

We are by definition "the enemy" -- and they will only "respect" us to whatever degree it is convenient to them, and to whatever degree they fear us. They are NOT going to treat "the house of war" as "allies" or "friends" no matter how cloyingly solicitous we behave. The more we do engage in sucking up like that, the more we will convince them that we are weak, they are strong, and... and the bottom line is that when all is said and done, we will ALWAYS be "the house of war" unless we convert to Islam.
