I read your whole post. You either made the mistake of referring to some population or other by their religion or you were genuinely talking about the plight of people insofar as they are religious. Well guess what, if they have it bad because of a religion maybe they should leave the damn religion. Seems simple enough.
Dude, you need to read some 20th century history. The populations I'm talking about weren't mistreated because there was anything particularly wrong with their religions. The Western powers, for example, inserted the Jews into Israel after WWII. The problem was, there were Muslims already living there who didn't particularly want one of their holiest cities taken from them in this way.
This intrusion by Western powers is the sole, and entire, reason for all the wars, the killings, the hatred of the US, the terrorism-- all of it. It's not like the Muslims just happen to hate the Jews because of differences in scripture or something. They hate the fact that Jews were given their land, that Israel is supported by Western powers, especially the US, who aren't really supposed to have any political claim in the Middle East, and the fact that every small attack made by Palestinians is met by missile barrages, helicopter gunship attacks, etc. from Israel. They hate the fact that Israel keeps instigating fights that break ceasefires, then using this an excuse to colonize parts of Palestine.
"Stop being Muslim" isn't a very good solution to this very real political problem.
