I understand due to the current situations in the word, Muslims are viewed with a wary eye, but we are warm people deep down. Many of us are very misguided, unfortunately. But apart from that, we have an interesting culture.
It's quite like the Japanese culture, in general, although there are differences.

Straying a bit off topic, but sometimes I find the level of negativity toward anything from the middle east a bit shocking.
There is a great program on in Japan -
世界ふれあい街歩き - that really shows the world very accurately. (Or at least I`d like to think so...)
They wander around different cities, avoiding most tourist spots, and just look at real life - talking to people, usually finding someone willing to show their home and family, etc.
Anyway, their walks in the middle east are always great to watch. Thanks to their "tours", right now the top cities my husband and I want to visit are places in that part of the world.
