In fact, there was a time, when Islamic culture lead the world in education.

If you want to talk about the right of women showing their bodies, is the right of women to walk naked in the streets? Even the west has limits on the clothing, but Islamic standard of "decency" is more "extreme"/"higher".

You know after sep 11, so many converted, because they went and investigated Islam.
Personally, I am going to try to disprove Islam from purely non-moral arguments.
I have found contradictions. I have found logical errors.
I want to respectfully disprove Islam.
But when you act all Islamic phobic, it won't convince Muslims but make them feel inclined to hold on to their religion.
And not only that, but you are bringing Islam in the face of people, and people then go read Quran, and Quran is very emotionally persuasive to people.
I don't think logically disproving Islam is going to do it; they won't listen. It is better to curb the violent and oppressive tendancies of certain Islamic groups than try to debunk it. If the violence stops, people won't have 'Islamophobia' anymore.
