    Yes of course, but Islamic beliefs directly infringe on others.

    At the same time, more compassion is needed in dealing with people who have been drawn into deceptive and even dangerous religious thinking (I’m not just referring to Islam). Only then will they be able to leave the cult.

      Islamic/religious beliefs don’t necessarily infringe on others. I’m not religious. But religion is more complicated than what you’re portraying.

        But of course they always try and it’s not just the Muslims, just look at Opus Dei for example, which is one of the groups behind the Heritage Foundation’s Project 25, whose current President is Kevin Roberts.

        Here you can see Kevin Roberts speech at CIC (Opus Dei Headquarters on K Street, Washington DC) last year,

        The Opus Dei is also involved in Silicon Valley, for example they’re involved with Peter Thiel,

          I understand the issues with organized religion. It’s just not an excuse to discriminate against religious people in general when most are low on the religious hierarchy and don’t actively hurt or want to hurt others.
