I have yet to have heard, or seen, any reason to be comfortable.

This is more or less what I wanted to say. When I lived in Russia, the only people that ever gave us problems were Arabic guys!
We had a few girls in our student group, and they would follow them constantly. We had to set a few things straight with them. For me personally, Sept. 11th has ruined it for me. I am interested in the Arabic language(s) and culture, but Islam, I have zero interest in. At this point, Islam has some serious PR issues to resolve, before I trust anybody that follows it.
