We already had cultures which were completely incompatible, but now there will be an even bigger rift between us. You guys still act like its the 7th century, you practice your religion like Europeans from the Middle Ages practiced Christianity. Then we had the Enlightenment and secularization, and the divide has been growing since. You won't ever catch up until you modernize your culture, but I expect you guys to cling to it even tighter until it is completely undeniable that your religion is keeping you weak compared to everyone else. You guys will have a really hard time giving up a myth which makes Arabs front and center, even saying God told people to only read his words in Arabic, hahaha. You guys just don't have a clue, you are proud of all the wrong things, you think your stubbornness in places like Palestine is a show of strength, but to the rest of the world it perfectly encapsulates why you people will always stay underdeveloped. You are hot heads with little logic going into to your thinking. So, no, it is not a mystery why you are portrayed the way you are. It is because it is the truth. The only people who support in the West you have an ideology which is completely incompatible with yours, they just support you because of a brain dead ideology about oppression and needing to be a white savior to minorities. It is all so comical. The truth is, it is only going to get worse until it gets better, because you guys are nowhere near ready to move on from Islam or at least have a movement equivalent to the Enlightenment.

As an atheist, I know that my head would not stay on my shoulders were I to state my beliefs in a Muslim country. They are among the most intolerant people on the planet, yet they utilized the tolerance of the West to gain a foothold until the demographics change enough, then they won't be doing the whole oppression olympics song and dance, then they will just straight up demand the country is run like they want it to be run. Similar to Israel/Palestine. Initially, the Arab countries used very little language about being an oppressed people. They were belligerent and said they would straight up destroy Israel because they were stronger, and Jews would never be welcome to create a country alongside Arab people. Then, as they were humiliated time and time again, they had no choice but to try and paint themselves as righteous victims, it was the only strategy they had left. Well, not the only strategy, they could have opted for peaceful development in an open and tolerant environment, allowing Israel to exist, but we all know they won't take that option unless every other option has been thoroughly exhausted. The pathetic thing is how young and naive Westerners actually believe these sob stories and propaganda. They think that supporting such an archaic and violent culture is actually the most moral thing one can do in this situation! It is funny as hell watching LGBT people support Palestine when they would be killed were they to campaign for their own rights in Palestine. There are just so many easily manipulated people in the world, intelligence seems to be a rare commodity these days.
