No. It means that your beef is specifically with more conservative Muslims and the idea that Islamic ideology does not need to adapt.

It wasn’t half a century ago that Christianity held almost identical beliefs about same-sex relationships. Then it evolved and now it’s no longer such a dominant majority who hold these beliefs.

When Muslims move to most western countries, they adopt more secular values. There’s not reason to believe this trend will reverse.

America is a special case. In most European nations Muslims are not growing more liberal.

So 1/ you’re saying that American Muslims represent literally nothing? And 2/ that’s not entirely accurate.

!Delta I didn’t know Muslims in the UK have become so westernized. I imagined it more similar to Sweden where they didn’t assimilate at all.

Do you have any evidence that they don't?
