Do all Muslims bear responsibility?

[pineapplebunnybounce]

Somewhat understand? Maybe I wasn't very clear, XD (Been up forever studying). What I mean is I do recognize the divide between what is Islamic and what is generally the product of an islamic culture. The way they treat women, mostly, is islamic teachings and if muslims are unwilling to condemn, yes of course they have to be held responsible, just like if you voted for antiabortion laws you have to be responsible for that. That's just what society expects of every adult: be responsible for what you stand for. However, the byproduct of islamic culture, can't fault many muslims for that, it's just that these actions are more prevalent in these cultures, but it's not directly islamic and therefore we don't know what positions muslims take. And extremism takes a certain type of environment to breed, usually with a lot of desperation and seclusion, something I find hard to attribute to muslims in general.

Yes there is a segregation by many muslim communities, but I'm of the opinion that they'll dilute sufficiently after one or two generations. I'm more optimistic about this, I must admit. But muslim countries ... god knows what's going to happen. The thing is a theocracy isn't something someone like you and me, who've lived in secular countries, can accept. The problem becomes real when those who have never lived in theocracies think that they could (fundamentalists born and raised in secular countries), because as you probably know, you only realize what freedoms you enjoy when you lose it.

Thanks for the link, I'll get around to it.

This doesn't really.......... I don't understand what you are saying?

Lol nvm then. Thanks for the article, I actually grew up in a muslim country, it's very nice to read someone being so honest about everything and having been a muslim himself, it's like someone finally stopped pretending.

No, not all religions are equal. Most muslims are homophobic, antisemitic, sexist (but they'll insist they do it out of respect) and xenophobic. The reason I say xenophobic is because the majority of muslims are told to marry muslims by their families. Marrying a nonmuslim can get you disowned in many families.
