The last time I viewed a Muslim it was down the barrel of my M249 SAW. Don't know if he saw Allah, but he had a wall of lead headed towards him.
if we are going to play the game of generalisation, I heard from most my white british army friends that the difference between the american and british soldiers in iraq was that the brits were respectful of the iraqis and the iraqis liked the brits. they didnt the americans.
Alot of the iraqis didnt like the Americans and instead liked the brits because :
1. american soldiers killed far too many CIVILIANS ! your attitude suggest why this is. The american army gets you all paranoid making you think that every iraqi's primary objective is to kill american soldiers. in fact is not, their primary concern is to live some how.
2. when american soldiers travel in a convoy, the americans soldiers start firing flares or shooting anyone who comes within 50 metres of the army vehicles, even though the army vehicles block up the road. The British soldiers used to let the civilians weave in and out of the convoy with peace.
3. abu ghraib. american soldiers responsible, not the brits.
4. friendly fire, enough said.
an extreme soldier, in my eye is no different from a religious extremist. both parties are brainwashed by either al qaida or the pentagon. the only difference between you both is that the soldier gets away with literally murder.
