It seems like Islam is now something like Christianity was about 500 or so years ago.
The barbaric nature of Christianity resulting in such things as the inquisition and crusades is almost gone. The great cathedrals of Europe are like relics of the past with few Europeans having strong religious beliefs. Even though religion (Christianity) seems to be stronger in the U.S. there is also much diversity and tolerance.
At one time Islam seems to have been more tolerant than Christianity. I don't know what happened to change this but it would be better for all concerned if Islam could at least accept western culture to the degree that our freedoms are not perceived as an affront to their religion.
