It's not about what I need. You're promoting a very general thesis about Islam without much obvious success. I can see you have a low opinion of the way politics and religion mix in your society. Perhaps you should try to go live in another society for awhile, for example, one in western Europe having a significant Muslim population, and combine those observations with ones you claim to have made. In some sectors in Europe, significant hatred is directed AT muslims rather than coming FROM them. These politicians, like the AfD in Germany, might love what you have to say, depending a bit on the shade of your skin. The AfD are not a majority party, at least, not yet. I'm just saying that your distaste of Islam seems to emerge from a perspective on politics, rather than one based on study of religious principles. I'm only saying that it might just be politics and not religion that tends to brings out people's hateful tendencies, just as it is doing in the cases you're citing. Since you're making this mistake so persistently, it appears to be borne of a crank theory in search of a villain. What would you lose by focusing on people's hateful politics, instead of on religion, which is mainly silly and vacuous when it functions as a social lubricant.
