Have you spent anytime with Muslims, have you been to a Muslim country, do you know any Muslims, have you read the Koran? Any books on islam?Island Nucklehead wrote:How many people are in the Westboro Baptist churt? 40 or so. How many peoples heads have they cut off? Yeah, that really matches up well with the billion muslims, probably 100,000+ (conservative) of whom are completely deranged, and the much larger segment of Islamic society that refuses to deal with the exceptionally crazy within their midst.ukcanuck wrote: All your accusations could be said of our society just over a hundred years ago and still in some places (Westboro baptist) the difference is that we have had enough wealth to look after all segments of society and we have been allowed to grow out of medieval thoughts and fears.
Since when? Places like Turkey had to become militantly secular to produce any modicum of "modernity". Muslim nations have some of the worst female education rates in the world. In Saudi Arabia women can't drive. "Homosexuality is tolerated in a don't ask, don't tell way"? And that's supposed to be a brownie point? The fact is that in places like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Nigeria and Sudan you can be put in jail (or executed) for being gay.Women have all the same privelidges as men and a few more in fact. Homosexuality is tolerated here in an don't ask don't tell way. There are no taxes here but everyone donates to charities as a matter of obligation and minorities are recognized in that way.
I would be fine with letting these backwaters fester in their own ignorance. Unfortunately they seem determined to export these crazy ideas that people who don't share their views should get their heads hacked off on YouTube.
You flat out sound like your pulling this right out of your ass.
I work in a muslim owned and operated British curriculum private school populated almost entirely by muslim school children (nearly 6000 students all studying to pass British high school standards. 3000 of which are female. All of these kids are heading for university.
So don't tell me that Muslims don't educate their female children because you are completely wrong.
The places where you are talking about, Nigeria, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan are social wastelands due to war and western interference over oil and natural resources
Religion is a back issue with enough misinformation designed to get you to still vote for your MP who just sent more military intervention.
