Falcon0408pine_beetleFact of the matter is within Islam you have Jihad and you have Sharia law which even their own leaders state is incompatible with western values.
If modern Christians were overthrowing entire countries, doing largescale enslavement and rape and calling for mass slaughter I would be on their ass just as much or more as Islamic terrorists.
Modern Christians aren't doing it because they already did it, they already got themselves into positions of power so the KKK could get away with all their shit and so priests could systematically molest children. Jihad and Sharia are archaic versions of Islam that any modern Muslim denounces. Have you noticed that the Westboro Baptist Church is saying the shooting was Gods work? My point: stop making it about religion and trying to induce islamophobia.
Muslims are in a position of power in their own countries for 1400 years, the KKK killed less people in 86 years than the people who died at 9/11. The american infantrymen stationed in Afghanistan got pretty upset when they realise afghan culture has a lot of pedophilia going on and it never goes punished. You are not in a position to claim these things are archaic versions that "any' modern muslim denouinces, since the vast majority of muslims world wide would rather see homosexuality banned or sharia law applied to them , and the small fraction of secular muslims that exist came into being by being colonised and westernly educated for a century. Basically, if you want to have more "modern muslims" you're asking for the muslim world to be re-colonised and this time with a harsher hand, something muslims aren't afraid to do to each other (ask the Ottomans and their campaigns against insurgencies in arabia) As long as countries like saudi arabia exist with their money and influence, the moe this problem of muslim terrorism will pop up into the USA and Europe, unless you would actually profile on religion JUST LIKE the middle eastern world does (passports with your religion on it are a thing in the middle east btw ) and expel all people with ties to fundamentalist terrrorist organisations and/or crime records. (well in the middle east they just arrest them and any other young males in the family and torture them or make them "dissapear" which is even more effective tbh, but we don't want to stop down to that sense of morality, don't we. "Modern secular Islam" is a purely western kind of thing and its disappearing becuase next to the appeal of drugs, alcohol an promiscuity the social pressure to assimilate has practically fallen away, and so you get people who can't speak the native language after living there for 30 years.

PS: on slavery; Thomas Sowell wrote a really good book on this subject
here are some excerpts
http://www.deadcatsandclippings.com/?page_id=321
7) “…the region of West Africa…was one of the great slave-trading regions of the continent – before, during, and after the white man arrived. It was Africans who enslaved their fellow Africans, selling some of these slaves to Europeans or to Arabs and keeping others for themselves. Even at the peak of Atlantic slave trade, Africans retained more slaves for themselves than they sent to the Western Hemisphere….In East Africa, the Masai were feared slave raiders and other African tribes – either alone or in conjunction with Arabs, enslaved their more vulnerable neighbors…Arabs were the leading slave raiders in East Africa, ranging over an area larger than all of Europe.”
8) “A vast literature has detailed the vile conditions under which slaves from Africa lived – and died – during their voyages to the Western Hemisphere. But the much less publicized slave trade to the Islamic countries had even higher mortality rates …most of the slaves who were marched across the Sahara…died on the way. While these were mostly women and girls, the males faced a special danger – castration to produce the eunuchs in demand as harem attendants in the Islamic world.” (126) “…vestiges of slavery still survived in parts of Africa into the twenty-first century.”
'Modern Christians" campaigned to abolish slavery world wide,battled the rights of every man and woman and their votes, better labour conditions (rerum Novarum) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rerum_novarum, instilled into the western world the "duty to help lift up the rest of the world" the start of the millions of aiid programs against starvation and epidemic disease, and even allowed their own religious convictions not stand in the way of the legal system (allowing abortion, gay marriage, etc) and called for the abolition of the death penalty successfully in most of the western world.
What have modern muslims done in that time?
