信不信由你,两者之间并没有多大区别——

Believe it or not, there is not much difference between –.

1. 主张自由主义政治的西方列强，他们希望运用军事和外交实力，把穆斯林世界带入“自由、民主与人权的光明”之中。

1. Politically liberal Western powers who want to use military and diplomatic strength to bring the Muslim world into the “light of freedom, democracy, and human rights”.

2. 政治上保守的西方强国，它们希望运用军事和外交力量，把穆斯林世界引向基督教的光明。

2. Politically conservative Western powers who want to use military and diplomatic strength to bring the Muslim world into the light of Christianity.

然而，许多穆斯林似乎觉得后者在某种程度上更加冒犯、更加令人反感，即便实际情况无论如何都是一样的。

Yet, many Muslims seem to find the latter somehow more offensive and objectionable, even when the reality on the ground is the same regardless.
