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.

I think this is pretty well said. I'm one of the most accepting people out there, I've travelled my whole life... but calling people xenophobic, racist etc, when they just arent is just plain pathetic. Look at who the US have as a president now. Its (imo) because so many people throw out the 'Racist!!!' 'Sexist!!!' 'Xenophobic!!!!' etc insult when they are losing an argument and don't want other people to see the opposite belief to theirs as something worth listening to.

And like I've said before, I dont post in serious debates very often, because I'm not that great at typing things out... but I'm very passionate about my beliefs and the name calling/ganging up on those with this type of beliefs is pretty disgusting.

I'm not all that surprised though. So many people on the internet have this really irritating 'We must accept everyone for who they are, unless they say something we dont like' ideology.
