I don't like controlling religions of which Islam is one of the worst. It is naive and stupid to underestimate the power and control they yield by indoctrination. That's what is actually dangerous as we are seeing every day.
Knowing a few Muslims who are not like that does not make your opinion an informed one or make you any more knowledgeable than anyone else. Of course people are different, we wouldn't be having this disagreement if they weren't, but religous ideology doesn't support differences and it's indoctrination goes very deep.

This is true.I agree.Islam is still stuck in the past more than the other big two religions.It is still medieval in most Islamic societies.Yes there are more modernised western Muslims who have moved away from the more devout side but many in the west still haven't.Also most Muslims don't live in the west and when large numbers of them are introduced into civilised societies there is an unavoidable clash.The best thing would be for those backward Islamic countries to move forwards into the present but that can take hundreds of years.Judaism and Christianity weren't always as forward thinking as they've become and Islam is still younger by a few hundred years.
