Religion of Peace and whatnot.

Actually most Muslims, like most Christians, are not bad. It's the Wahhabists who are the extremists and the vast majority of the problem - but the MSM doesn't ever bring up their actual sect name because they're based out of our ally, Saudi Arabia. And of course the media thrives on conflict, demonizing, and tribalist division.

It's not a matter of people being good or bad.

When you have 40% of them supporting backwards medieval laws being brought in to the West then it doesn't matter how nice or well meaning they are on a day to day, individual basis. There's a cultural problem. https://www.secularism.org.uk/news/2016/12/over-40-percent-of-uk-muslims-support-aspects-of-sharia-law

True, true. The intentional cultural division and destruction via migrants is a problem - globally. Again, the ruling class are primarily to blame.

Very true. However, I get frustrated by the standard response by apologists saying "No no, Islam is the religion of peace" every time this kind of shit happens. You sticking your head in your ass and repeating that mantra isn't going to make these guys any less Muslim. It's not the religion of peace - most religions subscribe to peaceful principles. I don't see a lot of vociferous denunciation of the radicals by the moderates, so much as I see most of them trying to ignore it in hopes they won't get tarred with the same brush.

LOL, no, Islam has problems, just as Christianity does. Pedo priests and female genital mutilations are no small things. But they're milder than beheading by the state or by "terrorists" - or perpetual war.

Buddhism is the only big religion of peace and there's no shortage of shit there too.

Yep, ignoring it is paramount to condoning it.
