None of you except Saleem knows and understands the problems. He lives with the problems and sees them everyday. I SAW the problems with my own eyes during 22 months in Afghanistan.
Do I hate Muslims? HECK NO! I despise Islam for being such a cruel ideology. It's not just a religion. It dictates every detail of life for Muslims and it is not like anything people in western nations have experienced. While there as a US marine I SAW what they have to endure and have complete sympathy for them.
Let me explain ... In western culture people have no context to understand Islam. Step into middle eastern/Islamic culture and they do. There's no way to understand schools that indoctrinate children into the same ideology of violence and hate that has dominated children there for longer than any of us can imagine.
Here's some things I SAW in Afghanistan.........................................
There's no way to understand how a legal system condones beating and disfiguring women as punishment for disagreeing with a husband.
Try to understand how a man can kill his own daughter for refusing to marry a man he "sold" her to for a dowry and still carry pictures of her to show to people and tell how wonderful and smart she was. He explained having killing her as saving her from a lifetime of dishonor.
Try to understand how uncles and brothers of a young teenager could take him far from the village, tied hands and feet, throw him on the ground, cut off his penis, stick it in his mouth and then run over his legs four times from feet to hips before running over his head to kill him.... just because he was thought to be a homosexual.
There's no way in western culture to understand that in their legal system a man paralyzed in a robbery can demand the robber be paralyzed. If that seems "high on drama" it is only because you're trying to perceive it from a perspective immersed in western culture. This is Sharia Law.

Try to understand how men guilty of a gang rape of Muslim boy would be given automatic death sentences however gang rapping a non muslim is not even a crime (as in the case of Matthew Shepard or nay of hundreds of non Mulsim men and women)
Those things are not exceptions under Islam; they are the norm. Speaking of them is not an effort to worry people or incite fear. Those words are spoken to give an illustration of how much is to be understood.

Here’s a start to understanding.
Imagine that Christianity is the worship of three gods, not one and has worship services in which Christians re-enact the eating of human flesh and drinking of blood.
That’s how many Muslims perceive Christians. That’s what they’ve been taught to believe. Now flip that and realize that most people in Europe & the USA have equivalent misconceptions about Muslims and Islam.
In the west all of us are aware our politicians and media mislead us and we speak out against them for it – and openly express our distrust. It’s similar for them because they’ve been misled but in a way that’s unlike us. For them under Islam where religion and government are interlinked and media is controlled by government and religion the deceptions are enormous. Not only that, but to speak out or even question the honesty of leaders or governments and religions is an easy way not to only wind up dead but see your family killed first. The use of terror starts there.
Why do they not revolt against it? For the average citizen in a Muslim nation a sense of luxury boils down to nothing but an acceptable level of misery and stability. They have known no other way of life for more generations than democracy has existed. For them corruption of public officials and police is expected as a daily part of existence. If you have a relative in prison and want to see him you must pay guards. Judges settle more court cases based on bribes and favors than law. If a town leader wishes to marry your daughter and you refuse everyone knows you’ll be punished for it. If a politician hires you to build him a house, you don’t bid on it – you do it for the price he offers to pay and then return money to him for his generosity for giving you his business.
When you begin to discuss religion you cannot compare Islam to Christianity or Judaism because Islam has one huge difference from them. Before Christianity Jewish scholars and judges had put together their two Talmuds in which much of the law of the Torah was updated and mollified. Christianity rejected the Talmuds but kept the Jewish scriptures in all their severity but in time mollified them by applying the gentler teachings of Jesus.
In the Quran there are no less than one hundred and twenty warnings dictated by Mohammed that the words of Allah and his own cannot be changed, ignored or not observed under penalty of death. For 1300 years that has not changed in either Sunni or Shia sects of Islam which comprise over 97% of Islam.
As Mohammed did and said, Muslims today must do and say… without question or reservation. Islamic law at its core is totally incompatible with everything that makes western civilization’s legal principles what they are. Under Islamic law human rights legislation is an abomination because it does not originate in the teachings of Mohammed. Freedom of Speech is a sacrilege. Trial by jury? They are compelled by their religion to adhere to the tribal justice of 7th century Bedouins. A failure to adhere to and practice their laws is the same as a rejection of Islam and punished by death.
