What is the one thing that bothers you most if any, about islam?

All of the above with the exception of no. 1
But I voted 'Because it treats women like dirt/It allows rape (of women)' since the treatment of women by major religions is very important to me.

Thanks Alkaliel for voting.

For those yet to vote, just to clarify, please select the attribute that bothers you the MOST and if possible, maybe give a short explanation as to why.

Enjoy

Not the suitable choices I would have liked.

I chose the second one.

But I couldn't care less about Islam if muslims stayed in their own countries and didn't fight with neighbouring ones.

And in the west, if they stuck to their private beliefs and fitted into the existing culture and laws without always demanding special considerations for their religion.

In other words, the choice if it was there, would be "cultural imperialism" or "cultural arrogance" that wants to dominate and lacks respect for its host.
It is like an invasive growth that changes the environement like mosques that do not suit the surroundings. I hate the sight of mosques but that is just personal.

It is from the little things like billboards being removed because they offend muslims, to the arrogant attitude of muslims that led to the murder of Van Gogh.

It is the way they settle private disputes, in which they are never wrong.
(We are sometimes guilty of that when the other driver is always to blame for the car accident.)

They want special times for tax funded swimming pools to open for women only bathing. If they have such a strong need to swim then they should pay for their own swimming pools.

They want to ban ham sandwiches at town hall functions instead of working around the problem with their own solutions.

Now there is talk of employers providing prayer rooms and time off for prayers.
And for people who have to live where they can hear "there is no Allah but Illah, and a Rascul is his prophet, come to prayers" I feel sorry.

Some of them may seem minor, but they all add up as there is always a new controversy and it ends up with a demand for shariah.

I wish them all a happy Islamic lifestyle, as long as they don't interfere with mine. That is best achieved by them living it elswhere.

Oh. I haven't mentioned crime and terrorism yet.
