I appreciate that though I'm only scratching the surface. Humans are still too prone to barbarism, always reverting to tribalism if the circumstances permit. Sports can be a good example of this lol
To be fair to Islam though, it hasn't always been hostile either. It's only when the Zealots have taken control of it, which is why Ive usually referred to it as 'heterodox' Islam as this hostile Wahhabi crap wasn't part of the doctrine for people such as Saladin (A great General )or even the Shah of Iran.
Islam was incredibly liberal in countries like Iran, Syria and Lebanon up til the 70/80's
Unfortunately, the nutters overthrew governments like Iran's when the Shah died.
Hostile and incompatible belief system which does not fit into western culture or anywhere else it resides, sadly.
Hence the ceaseless civil unrest or all out war wherever Islam is growing.
It isn't just the World being 'Islamophobic'. China, Russia/Chechnya, Europe, Africa, India, Malaysia. Throughout the middle east with intertribal wars against itself.
All these places having troubles with islamic communities today.
At what point do you stop playing the victim and hold your hands up and say " Yea, it's probably us trying to religiously drive out the indigenous, flat out refusing to assimilate or respect the culture of those countries we migrate to"
