One example. You want to know why the Western and Muslim worlds view things so differently? The modern civilization of the West was born out of the Renaissance and Reformation, around 1500. The Muslim world had neither a Renaissance nor a Reformation, but instead suffered decline, politically, territorially and intellectually, from around 1700 to the humiliating aftermath of WWI. They hate us because they hate their own weakness and envy our strength. The history explains it, not the nonsense coming out of the press and liberal salons.
