This is at best naive, at worst disingenuous.

> Receive knowledge of Islam from its primary and original sources. Gain information about Islam through the Qur’an and the life of its great Prophet. I would like to ask you whether you have directly read the Qur’an of the Muslims. Have you studied the teachings of the Prophet of Islam and his humane, ethical doctrines? Have you ever received the message of Islam from any sources other than the media?

If the average fundamentalist muslim did this, instead of riling themselves up with the blood and death creed of extremist imams, east-west relations wouldn't be in the sorry fucking state that they are.

The problem is not the west "persecuting" muslims. The problem is underemployed, disenfranchised - IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES - oppressed and repressed young men being ripe for death cultish manipulation. Plus some lazy, ungrateful, entitled, indulged poorly raised western muslim fuckwits believing they have a raw deal and rushing off to spend their holidays camping with Al Qaeda or Isis or whoever the current fashionable extremists are. Western islamphobia is the result of this, not the cause.

Educate them properly, accelerate democracy, improve women's rights, legalise homosexuality, allow a legal alternative to the current choice between unknown-virgin-cousin-bride vs cheap imported third world whore, and quit all the endless apologism and allowance-making.
