Yes, I’m aware of that. Islam has a wide spectrum, ranging from extremely pleasant to extremely nasty, as does every over faith. Make-believing the spectrum has an equal distribution for every religion is an incorrect assessment of the situation, though.

Yeah, but the metrics for that are impossible, especially when the argument turns historical. The discussion right now is contaminated by 9/11 and the politics of the ME. It’s as useful as appraising Japanese flower arrangement in 1943.
