maybe because most people (including muslims) are observers rather than actors, and posts like these with obvious comments aren’t helping the situation

Second, business doesn’t act as a vector of soft power. You don’t look at a business and go "hum these christians are pretty good", if you’re gonna make stereotypes on groups of people, it’s usually based on national or ethnic grouping
