>Why should Christians and Muslims hate each other?
No, we shouldn't.
>The way I see it, we stand for the same thing ultimately - no degeneracy, no American TV shows indoctrinating our children, no loose morals, but strong integrity and ethics. Do you agree, or is this more of a moralist view?
I do not completely agree.
Those things you listed are all rather vague (degeneracy, indoctrination, etc), and I feel that while I might have an idea of what you're talking about, it would be unfair to say "I agree".
We Muslims worship God, and that's it. God does not allow things that are bad for us, and as such we are not allowed to do a lot of the things you're probably implying, but the reason for us not doing them is mainly because God wants us to.
>I think we can agree on american culture being the cancer that seeks to spread all over the world and destroy it (I wouldn't call it "western" really, because it all comes from the US). We can also probably agree that many sects of Christianity are cancerous and should be cleansed (same probably goes for many Islamic sects).
I do not think American culture is cancer. American culture at it's core wants to free people and allow them to be the author of their own lives. This is also a reason the BO here is a American Muslim, because the society in which he lives allowed him to research on his own and find his way without opressing him.
Sadly, American culture is made by men, and thus not perfect, but it's far from the worst system we've created.
I do not know much about sects, so I won't answer.
>I would love to hear your views and opinions on these things. Hate brings only hate and never ending cycle of hate, it is Jesus who taught me to take the higher road and forgive my enemies, because there is no difficulty in being kind to your friends. Again I am sure the Quran must bring similar wisdom.
I would compare Islam to a beehive. A community working together and fighting back when attacked.
