Are you suggesting that there are prescribed views that must be held by every European?

I don't understand your question.

You seemed to be saying that there was some ignorance or prejudice about the teachings of Islam on the above topics (if any), and I was wondering if you could provide us with better information on these, because I certainly can't (in that I am genuinely ignorant of these and curious to know more).

Clearly the implication is that, just as it is assumed that there is a single approach to those topics in the islamic civilization, there should be a single accepted position within western civilization. And conversely, if there is not a single accepted "western" view, it shouldn't be assumed that there is a single "islamic" view.
