Blue, I am by no means convinced that any religion fits in with a modern day Western society!!!! Christianity in its stricter forms does not agree with or want to allow gay marriage (or even their existence in some cases), equality for women, contraception, abortion, alcohol, any form of sexual issue etc etc etc. I have said before on here, the Christian Right over here scare me more than the Muslims over here do, they will truly send us back to the dark ages if they ever get their way!!!
All religions are about interpretation and therefore you get moderates and extremists within them all, we should rightly be wary, and even afraid of the extremist elements of all religions but at the same time we should not tar the whole religion with that same broad brush!! I would put money on it that you either work with Muslims or live on the same street as some or encounter them in your daily life in some form, and there is no chance the vast majority of them want to kill you just for what you are!!
Extremism in any form and for just about any cause is generally destructive and against our western lifestyles, we need to tackle them all with the same vigor!! Again over here you have the Christian Right, you have a bunch of white supremacists that have suddenly put their heads above the parapet again, you have an extreme element attached to Black Lives Matter and you now have so called Antifa (although they are not organized centrally as such) that all seem intent on perpetrating acts of violence on a different part of society that they do not like or agree with, all of them need to be tackled by law enforcement and by our politicians to prevent as much of the violence as possible.
