One major key point that you seem to be oblivious to is that the enemy doesn't just want us to "be nice" to them; they want to convert the entire non-Muslim "infidel" world. And those who they cannot convert must die in their plan. That's not conjecture - that's explicitly-stated fact. And if you believe anything other than that to be the truth then your are missing the very foundation of their efforts.

We can disagree with them, but it shows it is something that can be talked about.
But you cannot reason with people who are "fighting for their soul." The very nature of their efforts is based on lack of reason. They are irrational to the core. That's what makes them so dangerous and that's why they must be dealt with in a less than friendly manner.

Another mistake that people make when considering how much we are hated by the Islam nations is in thinking that we are their only target. We are FAR from their only targets, we are just the one who is willing to stand up to them and who has the military mite to do whatever might ultimately be necessary. Hell, look at their threats to wipe their next door neighbors off the globe. We're talking genocide on scales that would make Hitler and Pol Pot jealous. But, conveniently, people like you are willing to look past all of that and play the politics game because it feels good inside.

The only reason we shine in that category is because of the power and freedom we represent. If they can make us buckle then the rest of the world will be a breeze. The United States is their major stumbling block because of what we represent, the power we hold, and the allies we possess. Get it straight.

And, as I pointed out: if we (or any other nation) doesn't convert then we are to die by their hand according to their plan.
