In my opinion, much of the misunderstanding between cultures would go away if certain factions of middle eastern thought decided to enter the 20th century at least, let alone the 21st. Much the way the United States is making a few backwards steps due to religious influence, parts of the Mid East deal with this 100 fold daily. It all comes down to Religion, and a failure to proceed beyond the limitation placed on Culture by various Gods telling everyone someone else is evil.
In a Nutshell....I see faith as the biggest danger mankind faces in much of the world, as it breeds hatred and distrust.
