I don't say all muslims are nice muslims or all of them are perfect. I don't say all the wars they've been through in the history was the true sample of Islamic Jihad, while I don't assume them all as not being so. Neither do I condemn every act of muslims that you consider harsh or cruel as such (like hanging the murderer by the Islamic law). So here I would prefer to leave you to your view about muslims being all and allways angry, because there is no use arguing since you overlook whatever you want in favor of your own view and refuse to see the whole truth.
But about the second part of your view on why muslims hate USA...
Islam is not a religion that only sticks to personal activities minimising itself to daily prayers and fastings and such. It has social and governmental palns and necessities, since it is believed that many personal perfections can not be gained without the necessary social or governmental settings; so it is natural that muslims hate most the government who is an obstruction and threat to them providing such conditions by imposing it's own policies and culture to them.
Of course doing all you said might not wipe out all the hatred or dislike of muslims towards you, but it will help a lot.
Finally, allthough you wrote your last sentence in an ironical sense, but I liked it. Submission to Allah is equal to turning back to all the evil and facing all the good on earth, which complemented with asking him(Allah) for guidance to the rightous way, can leave no reason for you being hated by the true muslims which themselves have surrendered to him.
zak..I don't want one more human to loose his or her life because of what
you or I believe..But if a fellow Christian or any religious group did any of these acts in the name of whatever god they believe in, I would feel the same way..
You said..Of course doing all you said might not wipe out all the hatred or dislike of muslims towards you, but it will help a lot.
That is a very arrogant statement my friend..
