You can say that's not a good enough excuse for Islam if you like, but personally I think it is.
I hear what you are saying and I am sure that the majority of muslims are not intolerant superstitious arseholes.
However there is a large contingent of muslims who use Islam to oppress women and people of other faiths as much as their power allows.
Look at almost any Islamic country and you will see oppression and harsh interpretations of the Koran and Sharia.
You can say "its the culture" or "its not in the Koran" but the fact is that Islamic countries have these backwards views and actions which seem to be backed bu Hadiths, Imams or by the woolly language of the Koran which seems it can be interpreted anyway someone with an agenda likes.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

There's actually a simple technique you can do right here on the forum for avoiding coming off as arrogant or indeed anything we don't mean to be. Here's where I'll sound hypocritical for not always practising what I preach (as it were).
Basically it's three steps:
Step 1 - Compose your post, in as much detail as you like;
Step 2 - Preview it to check for errors and to make sure it says everything you want it to say;
Step 3 - Delete it.
Works every time!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
