#1 Problems between the US and muslims? All US's fault. Solution? US bends over and grabs ankles.
The only point of a conference like this is for moonbats to emote and increase their self-~~hatred~~esteem by having a hate-America fest.

#2 I suspect there's a second purpose, Spot. Deep down inside most of these people are scared .. scared that their nice neat ideological boxes don't really have a place for heads being sawn off of screaming live people in agony, scared that the order and prosperity they took for granted (even while attacking nasty capitalism) are vulnerable, scared that people might actually want to kill them.

Not that they can admit or deal with that fear. So they continue the charade ...

#3 OK, so we don't seem to like people who call us dogs and pigs and fly planes into our skyscrapers and strap dynamite to themselves and blow us up, etc. ***sigh***

#4 "The anti-American sentiment of many Muslims is not deeply embedded..."

The anti-Muslim sentiment of many Americans is becoming more "deeply imbedded" with every Palestinian suicide bombing, every "Death to America" chant, every burning embassy, every maniacal leader swearing to remove Israel from the map, every murderous riot over cartoons, every decapitated southeast Asian schoolgirl...the Muslim community should be very concerned about how they are perceived while they still have a chance to reverse that hardening opinion.

#5 Once upon a time in a world far far away their was a trueism that could reappear in this great country ...
It went something like
"The only good xxx is a dead xxx"

Which fits right into what Jules just said.

#6 Personally, I am rather proud of the fact that certain groups and countries disapprove of the United States and its actions.

#8 In other words if we give them shiploads of money they will like us again. We already tried that once. If we let them flog us diplomatically they may like us again. If we leave them alone and let them build nuclear and chemical weapons to one day destroy us, they will like us(?).

#11 No 4, "The anti-American sentiment of many Muslims IS deeply embedded..."

It is being strongly indoctrinated even in so-called moderate muslim countries. Part of islam's supremacists finger pointing - one finger at the USA and four at itself.

#14 It [perception] has more to do with how America is perceived as treating Muslims.

The perception is shaped by internal media, i.e. propaganda. Reference the Danish cartoon fiasco, which was really instigated 3 or 4 months after the fact.

ME media is really outrageous in general.

The problem in this case is how to combat homegrown propaganda, and it is very difficult to avoid being affected by it when you live in an environment that is deluged by it.

#15 Ironic isn't it - if the Jihadists ever won, these morons would be the first to go.

#16 Dude, can I have some of whatever they're smoking?

Only if you like a mixture of PCP, crystallized battery acid and DDT. By all means, light up!

#17 I wonder when the last time any of these "experts" have been to any of these countries.

Either way, who cares what they think.

Go play in your bubble pointdexter, us knuckle- dragging pragmatists can handle the tribal loonies.
