Honestly, where I am from I think it is more pure hatred than fear. My fear is that the neo-con clash of civilisations will result sometime in our lifetimes. Honestly, I don't know many men who actually fear them, more than they want to actually kill them. When the Muslims demand an apology from the Pope and protest in the streets 9/10 people I know the vast vast majority of people hope the Pope will just turn around and tell them to fuck off. It is only the diplomatic language which most of our politicians and leaders use to them, which often isn't reciprocated that keeps the world from heading down the path of constant escalation and towards war along these lines. If the Pope turned around and completely refused to apologise and instead told them to piss off I really don't think many people in the West would be scared of the reaction, they'd be too busy cheering him on. I don't blame alot of them, I understand it, but I do blame alot of Muslim leaders for not showing the same respect back and diplomatic language that most Western leaders use, language that is necessary for things to cool down.
