Expecting that people coming from so very different culture wont cause any trouble is just silly.

I also find it funny how certain people say muslims should not be generalised by the actions of some. Yet, every critic of muslims/islam are a) extremists and b) buying the "fear" papers sell them.

Anyways, that's just my opinion.
It's all interpretation though, to be honest, which is down to people rather than the religion itself. Islam and Christianity are one thing, how people interpret and react to them is another.
