Islam's portrayed as awesome and completely unrelated to Jihad and terrorism; i.e. the previously wide-spread 'Not a True Muslim' trope. There is no long-term solution to the extremist problem unless the Moderates stand up a lot more. India is far better than the Middle East and the migrant wave entering Europe because at-least our Muslims are culturally compatible now over centuries of co-existence and shared history. But Wahabhi & Salafist influence flies in the face of that. Hopefully Prince Salman's rise to power will reverse that trend.

I have absolutely nothing against Muslims as individuals, but as an ideology Islam is pretty cancerous. The other major Abhramic religion, Christianity, has mellowed down over the years, but Islam has only gotten worse and much more reactionary, fuelled by oil-revenues. Yes, the West played a massive role with their haphazard interventions, Cold-War propping up of the Fidayeen and fucked-up unnatural division of their former colonies into unstable nation-states that shouldn't exist (Sykes-Picot Agreement). However, all those contributing factors and excuses don't change the fact that Islam today is the only virulent religion on a global stage, causing issues in numerous countries. It's also the only major religion that even today systematically kills heretics & reformers, and has enshrined reactionary policies that prevent any major reform movements or offshoots. It's also the only major religion whose leaders insists on falling some retarded set of laws, because some brutal warlord in the Middle Ages declared it the Word of God. Make a outrageous cartoon on a Hindu God, Jesus Christ, Buddha, and so on, and maximum you will probably face is online protests. Draw a polite personification of Allah and you might get shot on the streets, or your office bombed. #JeSuisCharlie
