Since there have been negative threads towards Islam,why not make a possitive thread for once.In my opinion I think the middle east would be a lot happier if the west just left them alone.

Wouldn't it be better not to bring politics into this one?

I went to University with a very friendly Muslim female from Somalia. I also had a Muslim math instructor who never had an ill word to speak and expressed the shame he had in how some of his countrymen behave (he's from Afghanistan). He also explained a common issue the West has with Islam. When people ask "if this is such a minority that holds resentment towards the west, why does the majority not speak out/act against the terrorists?" His answer: There is opposition to the terrorists, but you will not likely hear about that and some are either afraid to speak out or act (citing Nazi-controlled Germany prior to the Second World War) or feel that it is in Al-lah's hands. He explained that Muslims tend to be fatalistic, even using phrases like
إن شاء الله‎ - (insha'Al-lah; "God willing") in their daily conversations, a reflection of the belief that it is ultimately up to God to decide whether or not something happens or ما شاء الله ("masha'Al-lah: "thank God)," especially when someone says something like "you have a cute kid" or "I have just graduated from med school."

That's western society knackered then, isn't it.

There aren't very many positive threads about muslims because they kill people when they get upset, which makes them all a bunch of p*****s. The people who kill people over cartoons and movies deserve to be mocked.

A lot of ex-Muslims look at these loudmouth Western converts with utter disdain.
