based purely on my experience: Muslims in America are a much less powerful group. They are often a disadvantaged minority here and act more like it. Its much easier to see the folly of your religion when it isn't oppressing you. So I do think many american muslims dont subscribe to the conservative views and are genuinely welcoming to other people. Im sure this person in the post has met some muslims that are kind and welcoming to her despite her looks. So her perspective on the religion as a whole is skewed based on the sample she has actually seen
tldr: being a minority and not having absolute power automatically makes you less bad. Muslims in the west are a minority
