Ex muslims challenge atheists to face Islam

[pineapplebunnybounce]

"The west" have never experienced the the full might of an Islamic government, they do not understand, or even believe (sometimes), the things that are done in the name of Islam all around the world. The level of barbarism makes them think that it must be the exception and not the rule, the minority and not the majority. That has never been a valid enough excuse for xtianity, but the fear of being called islamaphobes makes it a valid enough excuse for Islam. There is also the guilt because well, they are responsible for a huge chunk of what is happening in Islamic nations, so to take a stance makes them look hypocritical (and then there's the guilt associated with having colonized unwilling people and wiped out cultures). Then there is also the "western muslims" who are trying their very best to at least appear moderate and most of all, polite. But in truth they are not good representations of what muslims in other parts of the world believe in and do for their religions, I've seen both types and they are very different people. Some think that this is evidence that all the barbarism is caused by socioeconomic factors rather than Islam itself, well, that's a misconception. It's simply because without the backing of the government and everyone around you, it's easier to be reasonable.
