When one has to deal with a convincted fellow's crime, especially in evangelism, in truth (ie. sex offense, child rape, etc.),

perhaps it is more impartial to treat him/her this way, especially when there's doubt on the verdict:

I know what others have said about you, the court, the judge, the jury, the news, the media, the people, I've heard their side of the story, now I want to hear the truth from you. This is not about appeal, if you were not guilty. If you said you did it, then I will treat it as your testimony, not the judgment of the crowd.

And then move on from that point of life.

Historical dissensions, are the obvious conclusion.

However, in light of modern norms,  one cannot deny that the hatred against Western countries in Muslim countries has encouraged those who really want vengeance for the mockery and deception done to their culture to target on the closest stereotypical enemy they could get their hands on apropos: the Christians.

Hence it is crucial for a Christian to live his/her life with full goodness and righteousness of the Lord while not too easily indentify themselves with Western christianity. This will not only clear the stereotype of Muslims' view on Christians, but make God's exclusive glory known.
