What's not to like?

Reading this, about the U of Wisconsin's Professor Barrett, I'm led to wonder why we never see any positive stories about Muslims in the media. I mean, they're being treated unfairly, right? So why aren't we hearing about outreaches to other faiths, charitable projects, peace protests, etc.? It's a puzzlement.

Muslim women are definitely modest. I approve of that. They pray five times a day. They don't drink alcohol. Neither do I, but I don't smoke, chew or drink coffee either, but I do eat pork sometimes. From what I've seen of the ordinary people in Iraq, they seem to be people I'd have no trouble learning to like.

Maybe it's the pre-Muslim Arab tribal culture that has never really died out. The ideas of vengeance, honor killings, tribal loyalties, imperialism, etc, strike me as having been moderated somewhat by Islam, but the remnants of earlier ethnic cultural values and practices seem to be resurgent and explosive. As far as I can see, Islam properly applied, should produce a peaceful society, but the Arabs and other Asian peoples have been fighting and killing each other for thousands of years. I assume that if they were all Christians, they'd be killing each other in greater numbers than the Catholics and Protestants.
