I talked about this before. Clearly, the more things are stable in their right place the less mess could happen that could lead to blood shed. A big reason for the mess in that region seems to be caused by this country's listening and following to the Saudi extreme discrimination against the Shia which lead to pre judging them and messing things in Iraq. Again, you made things look like a joke in Iraq with same elements of the disposed regime, not only probably not prosecuted sufficiently, but also reaching power through what looked like a mere new path to do that. You see the president during that time following the path of trying to externalize the existence of the Shia by making a stupid statement like "...an Iraq that that is free from Iranian influence". 

Now this President has extended that to shameless siding with the Saudi government in its inexcusable attack on another country not for the purpose of establishing a democratic system , which clearly it desperately needs for itself, but simply because of its discrimination against the Shia.

Another thing that could have strengthened the good elements against the bad in that region, and this time within the Sunni sect itself, was the democracy in Egypt which you watched being taken back to dictatorship because of the Western Islamophobia despite how those in power tried to restrict themselves by the rules of democracy. I think that democracy there would have been one of the most fool proof experiences for this country but that was not given an opportunity to happen. Now, while the bad elements supported by the Saudi government go outside to kill people, those who wanted democracy in Egypt are dwelling in their prison cells paying the price of having a faith in the west to be supportive of that aim.

The way some acts here as if their acceptance of others requires the cancellation of their selves and the dissolving of their identity is far from sounding like a healthy thing. Who said that Christians because they are the majority shouldn't celebrate Christmas? I think that the situation is as it is here because it is a reaction to the pull of the identity complex in trying to draw a definition line by isolating others. But things don't have to be hijacked by that complex. Naturally, a group of people may for example go out together because they like being together not because they want the isolation of others. 

A clearer line between the self and the world also needs to be recognized in order not to submerge one by the other. Both dissolving the self into the world and dissolving the world into the self are not healthy. While everything ultimately depends on the intention, the recent coffee shop issue can make one think of how printing merry Christmas on the cups and not allowing a Christmas tree inside, for example, could serve as examples for dissolving others and dissolving of the self respectively. The difference between the two situations is that the coffee cups go with the customer.

Religion is often taken as a matter of identity. But as a question of fact, for those attacking Islam, if they want to abide themselves by the truth, I could show what could really trouble them hard. I could start that by showing them the strength of the monotheism concept I have then when I proceed to some characters I could  make them bang their heads against the walls.

If you look carefully at a sacred person in Islam called Imam Ali you would see qualities the description of it as being super human might sound like an understatement and you may get left wondering what should you make of this regarding the truth or falseness of Islam if you really care about the truth.  Part of the astonishment is that one can hardly see how those qualities can fit in one person because of their divergent types. Another thing you would find is how much things fit that of healthy psychology instead of pathological one. Who was the teacher of Ali? It was Mohammad.

We all do not have the level of proof we want. However, while I am not demanding the luxury of being far removed from an in between state like that of Christianity in not even making a clear claim regarding who God is, I still want to know if any of those attackers of Islam have got any thing to lessen my problem instead of  just being like in a pre-school trying to attack the curriculum of a collage (Although even with that example at least pre-school materials despite simplicity are far from being in a state of not making a clear claim for itself like the situation with Christianity).
