I just know too many ex islam refugee women for me not to be aware of what strong religious beliefs do to a society. Religious fundamentalism always turns violent, no matter the religion. The existence of more peaceful islamic cultures doesnt change the fact that there are so many horrible ones. Israel is also a great example of how religion makes it easy to manipulate people into giving up their humanity.
