I certainly don't hate individual muslims as people. I see the underlying humanity in everyone even if I can't agree with muslim beliefs and I'm opposed to Islamist movements operating in our societies. I know many muslims also share our dislike of woke and leftist culture. Here's the thing though: I have studied Islam and Islamic history and I don't think Islam (especially the conservative kind) is compatible with European values.Our cultures are too different to occupy the same territory successfully. That said, there can be trade and peaceful interaction between Europe and muslim majority countries if all sides want that.
I came to the US *running away* from my Muslim society, because they don't know the meaning of coexisting. Just because I was born to Muslim parents, I had to make myself a blind follower to their beliefs which I don't believe in.. or else! The very same people who come over here to western countries to preach you about Islam being "the religion of peace" and blablabla are the very same people who go back to their Arab Muslim part of the world to turn the lives of converts (i.e. those who chose not to follow the religion of their parents: Islam) like myself into hell on Earth, and no one would do or say anything about these atrocities being made in daylight in the 21st century. If anything, those witnessing the persecution would even support it and participate in it! I have never in my life seen a society so tolerant of cruelty and hypocrisy as I've seen it in the Arab Muslim world. That 6th century culture is a true danger to western liberal societies and no one should bend the knee to their emotionally-blackmailing narrative (such as when they describe you as being Islamophobic). Of course you should fear Islam. A with-us-or-against-us totalitarian ideology at its finest. No matter what you do, don't bend the knee to that 6th century culture with its destructive values. It is *not* compatible with the western values that respect boundaries and freedom of speech, and probably never will.
Many years earlier, (1989) they blatantly ignored this DIRE warning. They are reaping what they’ve sown. (55 second clip from Press Conference in France) https://youtu.be/yVt0dnwZMCo

Très bien dit. La France aux français ou bien la mort.
