Islam

[Belacqua]

Disliking a corrupt belief system is not bigotry. I respect people, Muslims even, but never confuse that with requiring to respect a silly religious belief.

Would you like to talk about Muslim religious beliefs? 

What precisely in Islam is "in infancy" and what precisely prevents Muslims from progressing? 

How have you determined that majority-Muslim countries fail to progress due to religious belief, rather than economic conditions? Of the customs you disapprove of in majority-Muslim countries, which are intrinsic to Islam and which are customs which could be changed within a Muslim system?

If you believe that a person is silly, childish, anti-progressive, and harmful to the world, would you still say you respect that person? It sounds as if you don't respect anyone who holds Muslim beliefs. 

How have you determined that your own liberal Western values are superior to Muslim beliefs? Is this provable? Or is it something you "just know"?
