1958, when Muslims laughed at the idea of imposing the hijab to women x-post r/fascinating

Hahahahahaha. As if only in Muslim countries does sexism and violence against women happen. Some people are just shitheads you know.

Nope. I never said that. But, when it happens in the western world, people go to jail. It is a crime here. The wholesale abuse of women isn't just condoned by Islamic people and nations, it is promoted. It is widespread across the board and is present in almost every Muslims core beliefs. That women are subservient to man, period. You're not dodging that, man. You can tell me to read 2,000 books. It doesn't change what 99% of Muslims are doing today anywhere they are.

To your point about me cherrypicking, i did not. I merely chose three examples out of many from the books i have mentioned just in case you cannot read Arabic. But since you're so dogmatic in your belief, i would think that this confidence comes from fluency in Arabic so i would encourage you to read those books and educate yourself.

I don't have to read the entire history of Islam to look at what Muslims are doing today, reach a conclusion and not associate with them. And that's a good thing, too, because I'm not reading any Islamic books.

To your point that i'm ignoring what IS happening, i'm not. I'm just pointing out that for you to somehow link this to Islam, you need to provide your scholarly sources

No I don't have to prove that it's written in the earliest writings and is the true intent of the people who created Islam in order to look at Muslims, see that almost every one of them is doing vile shit and speak on that.

And finally to your point about Muslims killing each other over religious qualms. True. But please do not forget that only 500-600 years ago, Christians were doing the same with each other while the Islamic civilisation was busy creating Algebra, Optics, Coffee, effective means of transporting water and translating Greek philosophical tomes. By your standards, a person in that era could have claimed that Christianity was the source of all that strife. Which is obviously not true, many other factors, economical and cultural, were involved.

Right. And today, while Muslims are killing each other over how they celebrate Ramadan, the west has been busy exploring space, developing the internet and global communications, revolutionizing the medical world and generally pushing the bounds of every scientific field in existence as well as creating new fields of study. On top of that, in under 100 years, the west has transformed a largely agrarian world where toiling under the sun was all there was into an instantaneous, automatic world of comfort, convenience and ease and tripled the average human life expectancy. Dozens of diseases that have plagued humanity for centuries have been forever vanquished by advances in the west.

Something needs to give. The Middle East is 1,000 years behind the world today. I do not wish them harm. We just need to be separated. They can have Sharia Law in their lands, not ours. They can have Aloha Snackbar in their lands, not ours. They can honor kill their daughters for having sex, stone their wives for adultery and whip their neighbors for practicing Ramadan wrong in their lands, not ours.
