each side dosen't like what the other side does, but it dosen't justify bloodshed. these are social differences, things that one side isn't likely to accept just because the other side says "it's the way we've always done it, we're not gonna change for you."
The difference, of course, being that our decadent way of life has no direct, and immediate, consequence on thier lives. If they're right, and we're wrong, then I suppose that we're going to have some pretty heavy explaining to do, to Allah. More room in paradise for them. Indoctrinating thier children into lives of hate and violence has a very real and direct impact into our lives.
