European prespective on Muslims Refliction

Based on the documents I have read in class, I feel that the chances of Europeans viewing Muslims in a positive perspective is very slim. The reason being, Muslims were seen as devil worshipers, based on the document. Mohammed was believed to be acquainted with the devil and all those who followed him were looked upon as devil worshipers. Although this may be the case I also recall reading about one caliph being thought of as truly good. So followers of this caliph may be accepted by the Europeans but the majority might still resent Muslims. Most of the collection of documents I had read attempted to show the evil characteristics of Muslims and how they are cruel and such, but if religion was excused from the conversation then there may be a chance. Therefore, there is potential chance of Europeans having a positive/complimentary view on Muslims, although this potential could be very small.
