The majority of them may have opinions you dislike, as perhaps a majority of adherents of certain other religions may have.

What I "like" or dislike has nothing to do with the truth. That the Muslim ideology teaching that music, art, sculpture, dance, pet dogs, and a woman's liberty are all evil has nothing to do with what I like, it is pure evil. Why would you support or defend anything which opposes objective reason?

Do you hate music? Do you hate the creative arts? Do you believe women ought to be repressed? Do you believe everyone who has a pet dog is evil?

It is true, American Muslims are not strapping explosives to their bodies, yet, but neither were they blowing up nightclubs in Bali, not so long ago. Give them time, and a little more encouragement, and they will surprise you, but not me.

Naiveté is not a virtue.

I think Arabs dislike only polyphonic music. They certainly have music. Muslims elsewhere seem to like music in general. I have seen Muslims dance, including belly dancers. Perhaps you have missed it. It is amazing how many experts there are on Islam in this forum.
