Islamic culture and Islam are immoral

That is quite a lot of information to tackle at once but I will give it my best shot. Before I tackle the arguments made I would first like to put forward a few arguments that I believe are important to consider before you can assert that "Islam" and its culture are Immoral, either historically or currently. A. Islam, like all other religions, is composed of multiple different sects which believe in different interpretations of the Qur'an. [a1]. It is of my opinion that Judging Islam by the actions of one group in particular, who do not represent the whole of Islam, is the same as defining Christianity by the actions of only Catholics, or Mormons. Due to the historical claims of Islam being Immoral, the actions of all other religions during the same period of time must also be examined when defining what was considered to be immorality. For further evidence that there are sects of Muslims that don't believe every verse and have completely different values to other Muslims, I would refer to the Ahmadiyya [a2], of which there are over 10 million followers. There are many other sects that I could name [a3], although the Ahmadiyya offer a good picture of how similar divisions within other religions are in terms of how they interpret the 'holy' books and break off depending on philosophical interpretation. I would also like to offer an alternative story about some of lesser known countries that follow Islam [a4], proving that not all Islamic countries have a history of warfare, and for those that do there are many more reasons for such warfare than just the religion.

If you are from a western culture, which I assume you are, then your views on morality are based upon laws which were defined by evolving Christian values throughout time. In the Bible, homosexuality also has verses against it, which are used by some biblical literalist sects to this day. For hundreds of years, this was the law and people would be punishable by death in many instances [b1]. Verses in the bible also include the same kind of opinions towards women that western culture in general now deems inappropriate, but again only some groups believe this is something that should be taken seriously. With minor alterations, a free speech society and a few gullible people, you can make any rules you like based around 'scripture', which can be seen in Mormonism [b2], which shows with less violence and a unique cultural environment, multiple wives per man is suddenly seen as acceptable. Note: this is not acceptable to me, but that is irrelevant. It could be argued that all cultures are immoral, Islam for one is not a single culture, and is no different to any other.

Media reporting is sometimes intentional propaganda used by governments and religions to instill hate and fear in others for political gain. It is true there are Islamic governments and groups that use faith to justify a holy war. The same can be said of the other major Abrahamic beliefs. The question should be why and by who. Hate led movements create their own radicalization, and is the reason extremist groups begin in the first place. Jihadists in ISIS have a belief that the whole of Islam has to be at war with everyone else, and are happy for Islam to be classified as a whole which they aim for. When hate movements exist they push young adults closer to radicalization, making the hate preachers jobs easier. Human beings of all faiths, and atheists, are all at risk of being misled by hate groups and all people are seeking some form of spirituality in their lives, making the holy words seem so much sweeter when you see people calling for you to die to begin with. These people are more victims than anything else. The hate movements against Islam may be more involved than we all realize. Arguments against religious freedom being opposed can be found in [a2]. Arguments explaining why sexism and homosexuality exists and how historically it has been that way for some time everywhere can be found in [B], sexism has only recently become more balanced in western culture since WW1. Also see Catholic persecution of women in Ireland: [d1]. http://home.bt.com... [d2]. https://en.wikipedia.org... People supporting Islamic terror can be explained through psychology as outlined in [C], although more explanation can be offered in required, although some may find psychoanalysis offensive, that is up to you. Islamic culture from within would not be seen as Immoral, and neither can be from an outside perspective without basing your own morality on a set of laws that only came about through long periods of getting it wrong before 'getting it right'.
