Treat people like people. A lot of bigotry is born from looking at others as savages, brutes, less than, barbaric, backwards, etc. And not understanding any of the material conditions about why people in those regions have the problems and attitudes that they have. During the golden age of Islam, the middle east was leagues ahead of Europe in civil rights, social rights and economic rights. The people there were way more accepting of different viewpoints and were way more tolerant. Now as can be seen in this thread, they are looked down on and essentialized into being savages. No real analysis of why the things are the way they are.
Muslims in the US and Canada are more socially progressive and accepting than Christians on average. If the problem is Islam, why is that the case? The answer is simple. It's the material conditions of the people. Stability creates progressivism and instability creates repressive ideas and backwards ideals. Look at any place and people in the world and you can see that. Religions are so open ended you can make them out to be a lot of things. You can be KKK or daesh but you can also be completely good. The actual problems are the repressive ideas. Religions are way more malleable than people give them credit for. There is no one Islam, Christianity, Hinduism. Buddhism, etc.
Look at what Myanmar is doing in the name of Buddhism. Some of the worst shit ever. Respect people and treat them like humans. Don't try to control others. Let people be as long as they are not harming anyone.
