So some 1,000 assholes gather for a white supremacist march and that means white America is full of Nazis?

They're like Islamists. Enough horrible views & violent actors to take seriously but not enough (here) to be a widespread societal problem
-
Well said. Little bit more of a problem with Islamists over here in Europe tho.
-
I live in East London in the same area as Anjem Choudary & its a significant problem but not a widespread societal one.
-
We still only have 5% of Muslims & the vast majority are peaceful. Half would keep homosexuality legal. >60% think wives don't have to obey
-
That's still a significant proportion who do hold extremely socially conservative views, hence it being a problem. But society overall? No.
-
Agreed it doesn't feel like an immediate thing, but Islam overall is still very backwards, especially regarding a woman's role.
-
I do think we need to stop using conservative as a bad word though. I'd describe some of the laws, especially in Saudi Arabia, as archaic.
-
Absolutely but I'd separate abusive laws from socially conservative gender roles. The latter are OK if applied to one's own life.
