It's also a dark cult with its own set of laws they claim trump any local or national laws.
In other words Islam is a plague. A dark and dangerous evil plague on all societies across the world. At some point the world will either have to be subservient to it or fight it to the death hopefully eradicating it then squashing it like a Whack-a-mole game every time it rears its ugly head; which unfortunately it will.
It's rare for Islam to live side by side with western culture but it does happen. Jerusalem is one place and for a long time Turkey was westernized with moderate Islam living in synch with it but then Erdogan gained power and slowly it started backsliding into the hardcore Islam of old. Sad. Such a waste.
Islam/muslims can never be trusted. Never. The radicalized elements within it will always rise up to ruin it for everyone eventually. It's always just a matter of time. Also sad because I believe there are those who have to follow the cult to survive where they live.
Great points. Turkey has been a tremendous disappointment.

And for similar reasons, I condemn Islam and not the individual Muslim; though, some argue I’m splitting hairs.
