Who says Muslims are targeted by Westerners? One is a religion, the other a geographical area. The West has a significant number of Muslims, many people in the West have little knowledge of Islam/ Muslims and some people calling themselves Muslims attack Western targets....
to make sure we never get Irritable Bowel Syndrome like many westerners do
A Muslim is someone who practices Islam, and Islam is a religion, not a region or nationality. In other words, some Muslims are Westerners, and some Westerners are Muslim. They are not mutually exclusive. Also, Islam is not a language. Muslims live all around the globe, and thus speak many languages.
Islam generally accepts the biblical story of creation. The Quran is less structured than the Bible and Muslims are not required to believe that the world is only six thousand years old. In the same way that Christians find different meanings for texts in the Bible, so Muslims believe that the Quran agrees with scientific explanations. Some even say that the Quran tells that the earth is spherical and contains other scientific truths. So, there is generally less resistance among educated Muslims to mainstream scientific explanations of the universe, than there has been among educated Christians.
