      Christianity and Islam are largely the same culturally, at most you could say that some Muslims lag a few decades behind in their understanding or women and other minority rights (although even that is questionable looking at some evangelical Christians).

        Not really. There are distinct cultural differences between the Middle East and Europe. Whole books have been written on those. The Islamic world isn’t just a few decades behind. Islamism is a widespread ultra conservative political movement that’s growing. Evangelicals are tame in comparison as they don’t have world domination by force on their agenda.

          You’re male and heterosexual, right? Otherwise, there wouldn’t be much difference for you between fundamental Christians and Islamists.

              Well, Evangelical extremists would at least send you to several conversion camps

                In Germany? Lol, no. Nice whataboutisn by the way. Why not just believe that there are problems with differing societies mixing on a grand scale all at once? These problems can be fixed by the way, but you’d have to rationally acknowledge them first.

          Sure there are differences, but they are relatively minor compared to other major world religions/cultures.

          And I think you should read up on the massive expansion of evangelical Christianity in Africa and south America. Islamist expansion is rather “tame” in comparison and their believes in regards to women and minority rights are pretty much the same.

            Boko Haram and other Islamist murdering terrorist groups are tame? Maybe look into them a bit more.

              Evangelical Christian influenced governments declaring LGBT+ to be illegal and punishable by death sentence are tame? That is if the evangelical lynch mobs don’t get them first? Maybe look into them a bit more.
