If we were at war with Islam you’d know it. We are at war with a radical, extremist faction of Islam, not all of it. It is a religion largely trapped in the past and ruled by autocrats who’ve kept their people ignorant, desperate and poor. Once they’ve tasted freedom they rarely go back. A religion with billions of adherents will get some percentage of radical nuts and ignorant fools, but if all billion of them were at war with civilization you’d be on the front lines yourself.

Just not true.

You think of "war" as all out conventional warfare. Islams war is for total domination with little exchange of gunfire. Turkey is becoming more radicalized so is Pakistan and Africa as a whole.

Enclaves of Muslims are growing in every democracy in the world.

You pretend that Islam is united. It is not and hasn’t truly been so in centuries. Read history.

Is it my ideal religion? No, but it is not a worldwide threat that you are painting it as.

I don’t want sharia, but I don’t want socialism either. I’ll fight against both, but right now socialism/fascism at home is worrying me more than Islam.
