Cool story bro, a simple yes or no would of sufficed
i am not aware that i have been sharing my opinion with you, more a
case of asking you to clarify yours
you seem certain that Islam is a threat to yourself
i personally do not feel this way
its nice to hear that you know folk from such a mixed range of cultures
i would hope you afford them equal respect
treat them as you yourself would wish to be treated
how would you solve the islam/muslim problem as you see it ?
i treat everybody as NOT AN ASSHOLE until they prove otherwise.
as to a means to "solve the islam/muslim problem as you see it ?"
sadly their entire society is drenched in inflexible religious ideology, they are generally led by power hungry madmen, and their entire culture has been pushed into retrograde by their religious fervor, in other words, they are having their own personal "Dark Age"
the only way out of a Dark Age is an Age of Enlightenment, but thats not gonna happen as long as the Status Quo is propped up by Oil Money.
if the rest of the world developed some technology that breaks our dependence on oil, their social structures would collapse, their economy would fold up like a house of cards and they would be forced to re-evaluate their society
in the entire history of man, no people have been gifted by providence with a treasure like OIL. all the wealth, science, technology, trade and prosperity flows through the mid-east, yet they have squandered it on petty wars over irrelevant differences, oppressing their own people, and buying gold curtain rods, gucci sunglasses and BMW's.
any other society, when in possesion of that kind of wealth would build schools, universities, hospitals, grand metropolises, agricultural advancements and cultural wonders.
makes you wonder what is wrong with islam when despite vast wealth a nation remains a third world backwater.
there is no "fix" for islam except reform of islam from within, and they are as yet disinclined to consider that option.
