Islam in Europe

Nobody's saying they're perfect, obviously, but when you come out with statements like "highest infant mortality rate" and then follow that up with "I don't know why" you lose credibility. Have you even considered that the mortality rate might be linked more to poverty and war than the religion? It's not as if Islam preaches infanticide, now is it? You can't blame everything bad about a people solely on their religion, no matter how you might want to.

What is your experience of Islam, anyway? Are you speaking here from a position of knowledge or just assumption? And though I may be wrong, I don't think all of Islam practices Sharia: is that not the more hardline part of it? I admit I don't know, but I feel it's unlikely every muslim lives under that kind of law, otherwise there would be no muslim women doctors, engineers, etc etc.
