  15. They are very much like fundamentalist Christianity, when given power fundamentalists are universally repressive misogynist, intolerant, violent homophobic and oppressive. Evangelical Christianity has all the innate problems fundamentalist Islam does but has been watered down here because it exists in a secular environment that curbs it's worst impulses which are nearly identical to those of the Muslims you attack. You are literally advocating treating of Muslims as the other and your spin is tone deaf as you complain about the treatment of Christians which is based on the same kind of spin from Muslim conservatives. Under secularism all religions are more moderate. In the US Muslims for example support gay marriage at higher rates than fundi Christians do. The worst aspects of any religion do not define all followers and the reason Muslims are more conservative as a rule is they come from societies that do not benefit from secularism like the fundamentalist Christians do. When they exist in a framework that promotes religious freedom followers of Islam become ever more like moderate Christians and less like the christian fundi's who are very similar to the deeply conservative Muslims even as they are their loudest and most vocal critics. In the context of modern Muslim extremism we need to acknowledge the external powers including our roll in it's rise. Intelligence agencies have trained and funded extremists for decades to further other political goals and those terrorists who share nothing with us ideologically have since turned on us when our alliance was no longer convenient, this should surprise no one. These people are scum but they are largely a monster we created to solve other issues. We have consistently empowered conservative dictators and over turned secular governments to replace with them religious yes men ass holes. In almost every case the deeply conservative Muslims you point to as the problem are backed or were originally trained by one colonial non Muslim power or another for political and economic reasons that benefit the investors at the cost of the freedom of the people who live there. As of right now we are close allies a country that spreads the radical Wahhabi sect in the Saudi's because they sell us cheap oil. There seems to be little concern that they are chief exporters of Muslim terror, including the ass hats that did 911. I loathe all fundamentalists as regressive cancer, I do not single out Muslims as a group while i have no issue attacking the worst actors in the same way I kick fundi christian policy that we as a secular society should not be supporting either.
