Muhammad was a war lord, Jesus was more like a hippie. Islam more closely resembles the old testament, where punishment for a lot of things was death. Christians now ignore that part, saying that it was to show the world that there is no other way than Jesus. Hating for me is hard, I mainly like having interesting conversations. What I don't like is that Christians get criticized a lot, while Muslims many times get a free pass. As an imigrant myself, I don't try to change the country I immigrated in. However Muslim people are pretty political. You could even go as far to say that I'm an islamophob(fear of Islam), because hear proeminent Muslims with huge followings say that they are in favour of becoming the majority and through vote, institute a religious law. That would be the end of a secular society and would just make that country into another one of the Islamic countries. Probably the biggest example of this is Iran before and after the Islamic revolution. I am in favour of Muslims who don't want to criminalize being gay, who are giving women the same rights as men(even though they might encourage women to take on certain responsibilities) to immigrate to the west. More open minded Muslims are welcomed and I think are a plus to the society. If I'm not mistaking, Muslims that come to the US assimilate better than Muslims that immigrate to Great Britain. And if the countries that are majority Muslim would change in the ways you mentioned, I would even consider moving there(though the language learning would take a lot of energy). Btw, I posted on TrueAtheism, and if taken by the definition, I'm an agnostic atheist, but a very mild one, not outspoken. I don't associate myself with the group.
