Yes, the conduct of criminal muslims is inferior to the one of most native europeans and the majority of americans.
However - seriously speaking - no human being is born inferior to any other one.
Followers of Islam should be respected on behalf of their belief as long as their behavior displays a will to promote human progress.
Brainwashed taliban soldiers have nothing of value to offer mankind. Turkish businessmen and malaysian engineers and that sort of "muslims" on the other hand might have and out of principle we must never forget upon that part of reality while whishing to defend true civilization.
There are muslims and there are muslims.

The only problem with that is that Islam itself is backward and totalitarian. There is a big difference between human beings and a belief system...unless that belief system promotes irrational violence (OR the removal of individual freedom) and indoctrinates to promote its objectives.

"There are muslims and there are muslims"
No, there are Muslims and there are lapsed Muslims. Muslims who no longer practice their faith. True Muslims follow the Koran. Study the Koran if think I am kidding.
The penalty for Muslims who no longer practice their faith is death. Women and children are property and non Muslims must be either converted, killed, or enslaved. This is what true Muslims believe because that is what the Koran teaches.
I realize that there are hard working seemingly normal Muslims that everyone meets from day to day. Even the most normal Muslims hide a dark secret however. They hide the true nature of their religion because if it was known they would be shunned in society. These so called moderate Muslims are actually the most dangerous because they disguise themselves.
How many times do we have to hear that this or that Islamic terrorist seemed normal, that his friends and family never suspected that they were capable of such violence? How many times are we going to say it must have been an aberration, a fluke, before we come to the realization that it isn't abnormal for a so called "moderate" Muslim to flip out and kill people. That it is normal.
Muslims who are known radicals are watched by police. They have little opportunity to commit mayhem. It is the "normal" "moderate" Muslim that is the real danger.
Look at the 9-11 bombers. All supposedly "normal" Muslims from middle class families with good education. Look at just how "normal" those guys turned out to be.

"Followers of Islam should be respected on behalf of their belief as long as their behavior displays a will to promote human progress."Agreed. However, I've met a total of ONE and his cousins make it impossible to really trust him.
