I read about the Muslims and their views on the Europeans. I believe that there could never be a positive/complimentary view of the Europeans because of their differences in what they believe (religion). First off, in one of the documents, it said that Christians were hypocritical and ironic because of their so called "purity". They said that they believed in being pure, but many of them sought only for themselves. For example, there were many women who became prostitutes; this doesn't symbolize purity. Another thing is that there was already too much fighting that happened between the two races. So much hatred had already built up to a point where negotiations were meaningless, they were made only to be broken. Besides, the Muslims would've never treated the Christians as equals because their (Muslims) technology was more advanced. There was just too much havoc and hatred between the two races for any profound peace to occur.
