And our country based on Christian principles is nothing to write from Baghdad about, particularly when we are disallowed civil liberties, are illegally wiretapped, are lied to by our president, and forced in a war that benefits a select few against the larger population. But this pales in comparison to what most probably is seen by Islamics as a simple old school holy war between our God and their Allah where we determine, simply, that we as a Christian-based nation is right, and they as followers of their own god are wrong.

You're sounding a bit Pastesque there dd. Sure we're not perfect, but tell me deep in your heart you don't think our society isn't 1000x freer and more accepting than theirs. Your post trashes our society through the mud, but when you take a look at what you're comparing it against, that seems pretty silly.
Naturally they resent us for religious regions, as mentioned. If they didn't, they'd all be gathering around in a circle to hear the good word. My point is that if education and an awareness of what's going on in the rest of the world can be brought home to these people, they may begin to emerge from their Islamic cocoon; something that would benefit everyone IMHO. I belive this will happen over time,
