The point is you don't have to try very hard to find things to object to in any religion. You cannot say Wahhabism (I'll assume that's what you're referencing) is representative of Islam unless you're also going to tell me that the Westboro Baptists and their ilk are a fair representation of Christianity.

Brilliant. There are 40 members of the Westboro Baptists - how many Wahhabists?

You're just opening your mouth to change feet. Stick to upsetting permies onsite.

Donald Trump is apparently a Christian and so are his followers....

Point is there are examples of people and groups in all faiths who are nutters or fundamental in a way that isn't compatible with modern democrat thought.

Think the point is that only one of those religions has failed to reach the Middle Ages yet

FTFY

So what is about Islam you think is compatible with modern democratic thought ?

They like twitter and facebook innit

Yes I did. You also imply that to post anti-Islam memes one must be a radical otherwise you'd have opened up the possibility of anybody posting anti-Islam memes. Don't try and hide your leftie tulip behind ambiguous grammar.

You can continue to hide your uneducated right wing ignorance through a lack of understanding of the idiosyncrasies of the English language and your poor attempts at badinage

You're justifying your self-admitted bigotry and I'm the one putting my foot in my mouth? You're not a real person, are you?

There's no bigotry admitted - you're now trying to lead the witness! To be a bigot implies irrational and unfair intolerance. My dislike for theological control mechanisms is neither irrational nor unfair. While I respect that people can find solace in faith, as is their wont, suppressing the education of people and their freedoms is not something that rational people should tolerate.

Or you can continue playing the race card, as is the tendency for most religious apologists when they've got nowhere else to go.

So your issue is with religion generally and not just Islam, because that's the only religion you've named.
