Take a look at all the countries in the Middle East, not counting Israel. All are Muslim, and all are doing very poorly in terms of human rights. And guess what? Their harsh Sharia laws and Draconian principals come directly from the Quran. For instance, in Somaliland (an African Muslim country), they just enacted a wonderful new law that states that anyone who does not pray to Allah five times a day will be promptly put to death. There's the fundamental nature of their beliefs for you...
And yes you may still say,"Well, those are only extremists! The majority of them are pacifists!". While this may be so, there are a heck of a lot more Muslim extremists/terrorists than there are Christian, or Hindu, or Buddhist, etc. I wonder why that is. Could it have something to do with...their religion, possibly?
EDIT: Also, I guess that the Christian kingdoms in the Middle Ages were just as barbaric and evil. However, they have changed, unlike the Muslim countries, who have stayed rooted to their 10th century beliefs for too long.
Well, I'm a science nerd for saying this, but...
correlation is not causation.True, the Middle Eastern countries are Muslim (except Isreal), and they do perform badly in human rights, but that doesn't mean that Islam causes bad human rights. You know what does, though? Poverty. All of the Middle Eastern countries are impoverished, and I don't see many human rights leaders in poor countries.

Just to you. BettyBandFan is my friend. Myscrnnm is my friend. Issac55 is my friend. Who except you, Mynck and djbob dislike me?
When did I start disliking you? And I'm not really surprised that he dislikes you. It'd kinda be expected after your whole campaign about demoting him and how he's evil and all that.
