Attitudes about Muslim-Western relations have become slightly more positive in the U.S., Britain, France, Germany and Russia compared with five years ago, though negative views between Muslim countries and the West persist on both sides, a Pew Research Center survey found.
The survey, by Pew's Global Attitudes Project, found majorities of Muslims surveyed in five of six Muslim-dominant countries and the Palestinian territories described non-Muslim Westerners as selfish and greedy. In all of the six Western countries surveyed, less than 30 percent of non-Muslims said they consider Muslims respectful of women.
Ten years after the Sept. 11 attacks, Muslims in the Middle East and Asia and non-Muslims, both have concern about Islamic extremism.
Majorities of Muslims interviewed in most of the predominantly Muslim nations surveyed were inclined to say relations with people in Western countries are bad. There has been no overall improvement in those views in the predominantly Muslim nations in the last five years.
Westerners are less likely to believe relations are poor today than they were five years ago.

My God doesn’t tell me to hate anyone. HE tells me to resist Satan and all his works and all his false promises. Old Mo’ was Satan incarnate and there is no god named Allah. I proudly and unabashedly hate Islam and all to adhere to it, ‘’radical’’ or not.
If you think I worship Allah, YOU are SORRY.
