I'd say by and large that Islamic culture, and a lot of Muslims are against the west's values. Islam is anti-woman, anti-gay, anti-democracy, anti-freedom of speech, anti-west, anti-apostasy, and not very accepting of other cultures (unlike the West). Muslims from North Africa and the Middle East are like what I just described. With Salah Abdelsalam being born in Europe, I'd say that a lot of Muslims from Europe now hold the view I just stated. With that being said, there is a minority of Muslims who are not against Western values. Most Muslims living in America are actually pro-west and actually hold our values, but that is a very small number of Muslims in regards to whole number of adherents of Islam. |
Pretty much everything you have said is bs. It is not only bs, it's hate speech.
The west was pretty much built on anti freedom. Colonisation, slavery etc etc. That is as anti anything as you can get as it killed millions. To date nothing in the history of mankind has killed as many people as the western world exploits.
Secondly, Islam isn't anti freedom of speech. They're are Muslims that are and they will say it, just like any other faith or culture. The religion itself doesn't say forbid it.
Thirdly, it's not anti West. Muslims aren't all in the east, they are everywhere. It's like saying every white person is anti east, anti brown and anti black. Bs blanket statements.
Muslims are not accepting of other cultures?! During the Ottoman Empire, the Catholic led countries in Europe had banned Jewish people from worship. When the Ottomans took over they gave the Jewish people back the freedom of worship and building synagogues.
When Ibn Batuta discovered America he traded and returned.
You forget, that no one in the history of civilisation has killed as many people as the west due to cultural differences. Native Americans, Aborigines, Chinese, Indians, Africans and the list goes on.
Salah Abdelsalam is an idiot for putting himself in such a situation where he had to make such a decision. Most the Muslims would agree that you and extremists are wrong in your understanding of muslims and their faith.
The only people who believe Islam to be what you say are Islamophobes and those creating the problem - the terrorists themselves. I.e. You guys support each others arguments whilst the rest of the Muslim world watches in horror how the blind lead the deaf and the dumb.
