It is indeed a big problem with women. I remember murder cases in Germany where migrants raped young girls and then stabbed them, whereupon the mothers of these families went in front of the cameras and called for a demonstration against right-wing extremist violence. That was a case in Freiburg. The majority of people here in Europe are so mentally consumed by propaganda that their perception of reality is still very distorted
to be honest, it's really about peace and beauty from what I've learned about Islam ( so far ) , and I'm sure you have bad ppl in each group, but what if the "European dream" only attracts certain types of ppl instead of the person being a Muslim?
but then, even if someone claims he/ she is Muslim, it doesn't really mean he/ she is; I just don't like it when ppl use religion to group ppl and then keep saying bad things about others while deep down it's really an individual issue.

yes of course from a humanist point of view religion should never be used to divide people into groups. but the reality is that Islam, as it appears today, is clearly politicized and used as a power vehicle.

sadly, in most places it is; but then it doesn't mean all muslims are bad ppl - I'm surrounded by some of the kindest humans and they are Muslims, but I see them as living humans being instead of muslims. đź‘€

Not all Muslim are bad people but their leaders are dangerous.
Muslims have trouble coexisting peacefully with non Muslims.
Muslim countries don’t have a reputation for tolerance and diversity
The religion is about converting the heathens. If they don’t convert, kill the men, rape the women

"Not all Muslim are bad people but their leaders are dangerous"
One can say the exact same thing about foreign policy advisers in Washington or Jerusalem, the evil of all leaders around the world says nothing about the people living in these countries who are in fact the first victims

Fair point

I can coexist with Muslim who convert to anything else
I guess multi-respect is the key, ppl used to respect others' religions during the Ottoman time, and even till now, I'm still around Christian and Muslim friends here, but yeah, politically wise, they don't want you to see this is possible, ppl living harmony with each other, and it's been like this for centuries.
Natalia is being deliberately naive to defend Islam

And then you add missionaries and pressure to convert… result is conflict and violence
We saw this after the printing press and reformation. 100 years of religious wars
