To me, Islam just doesn't seem like a good thing. Apparently the scientific output of muslim countries is [really low] not to mention the poor treatment of women, non-religious people and homosexuals. Few if any muslim countries have a decent development rating. I shudder to think of Somalia where you can get killed for listening to music. I was also quite sad when the Arab Spring was quickly hijacked by fundamentalists. There is also the uncomfortable fact that muslim communities in democratic countries don't integrate well. I've experienced this phenomenon with my own eyes. In my town if you wander into the predominantly muslim neighborhoods, you can get spit on and insulted frequently. One man even called me a "white whore" in front of his young children because my skirt was a bit too short to his taste.

The problem is that if you voice those opinions in public, you get called racist. But what bothers me is that Islam is just a set of ideas, not a race. I don't see why those opinions are so controversial. After all, western countries keep saying that they're all about human rights and freedom of religion, so doesn't it make sense to discriminate against forces that are against these concepts, especially those that teach that apostasy is worthy of death?
<bot>: I don't understand why it's considered racist or irrational to criticize Islam when it's just a set of ideas and not a race.
