Nooo, Islam isn't barbaric at all!

No, Islam isn't at all barbaric! The raping of girls as punishment for their families, the stoning of women who have been raped, the rape of children under the guise of marriage. No, it isn't bad at all.

At least in the west, marriage isn't forced on 8 year olds, woman are not executed when they report a rape and as for suicides, they generally aren't designed to kill others in the process.

You speak as if muslims don't do any of the things Americans are free to do. You are right. In many cases, it is required by law, including child moestation, rape and murder.

You need to get a grip.
