Your argument would have more validity if it was factually correct. You state that it was not the muslim world that condemned apartheid or instigated sanctions. This is factually incorrect - see below UN voting record (reference at end of post). The biggest supporters were the US, UK, France and Israel, the latter not surprising given it continues apartheid via the occupied territories today.

As to Middle Eastern countries you make broad generalisations. Whilst I do not doubt there is a minority that hates the West, most people do not. Demonstrations on the news are irrelevant. You will see demonstrations all over the world including Australia for various minority causes- including Islamic extremism. By your logic, does that mean all Australians support Islamic extremism. Or does you logic only apply to Islamic countries. Extremists are hunted down and prosecuted in nearly all islamic countries including our nearest neighbour, Indonesia. I have travelled to Turkey, Indonesia and Malaysia, all muslim majority countries and never experienced any hatred towards me.
Mainstream muslims do speak out against atrocities. Where is your evidence that they do not?
