In short, do we define ourselves, or do our actions or others' opinions define us?
Oustanding question and straight to the heart of the matter!

IMO, since the Muslim world refuses to define themselves as peaceful Allah-fearing folk, their actions (or lack there of) and our opinions of Islam as a violent ideology bent on our and the Jews extermination is, by default, the definition they will be stuck with.

If you don't define yourself, others will do it for you.

A lesson politicians learn early if they want to stay in politics. Also a lesson learned early on an A Team.
