Yup, a fundamental tenant of their religion is remaining apart from those with different beliefs. This is pretty common in most religions, but Islam seems to take it a lot more seriously. How the various sub-groups treat this differs of course - you get those who are happy to work and socialise with others - and you get the radicals who think others should convert or die - but there are very few, if any who will integrate fully - they want apartheid.

@Curiouscatnap I'd say Sharia law is pretty extreme right, to the point of Sharia nations mostly being theocratic fascist states - I mean maiming, torturing and/or killing people for breaking sometimes even fairly minor laws is hard right for starters.

@judyapple3266 No, it's definitely far right. It's easy to get them confused because they both abuse people in different ways, and they are both cults. Far left leans towards communism, where religion as a belief in deities is outlawed and the state becomes the godhead - generally capital punishment is outlawed and criminals are "rehabilitated" through various usually ineffective means. Far right, the supreme leader is the godhead, religion is accepted or even encouraged/enforced and used as a tool for control - capital punishment is usually applied vigorously.

@KyriaNunNuit That's where the fuzzy dichotomy kicks in - these generally started out as left wing communist revolutions to overthrow the right wing nationalist dictatorships, but ended up as extreme nationalistic dictatorships just with different people running the show - thus the "hard to tell the difference" at the really extreme ends of the spectrum.

IMO a big part of it is the "anti-western colonialism" doctrine present in the left currently - anything related to white colonisation is considered evil - any culture that counters this is considered virtuous. The irony being is of course, Islam was one of the great colonisers for centuries - and was generally more oppressive, brutal and genocidal than for example, the British or even the French - maybe not the Spanish... but you can even blame the way the Spanish were based on what they had to deal with from the Muslims during the dark ages. The only reason the Islamic conquerors stopped is because they got to a point where they were no longer winning - otherwise I'm sure we'd all be praying to Mecca and living in the dark ages instead of enjoying a comfortable lifestyle and having these kinds of discussions - but hey, western colonialism is all bad, right?
