Who are you talking about? I'll tell you. You are talking about extremists, but you are labeling an entire religion. In this case, Islam. Because some Christian extremists treat women and gays the same way, do you then label all of Christianity? There are extremists who claim every faith. Extremism is wrong, not the entire faith.
Actually those views are just as much part of fundamentalism as they are extremism, and are held by many more in the islamic world than some insignificant minority. In fact, al-Qaradawi, a hugely mainstream figure, has called for the killing of gays, the beating of women, and the death of apostates on his television show, and faced absolutely no backlash from the incidents.
Hence, it serves as another example for people trying to equivocate between the two religions. Because we got a man who says things the phelps clan doesn't even openly endorse blaring such idiocy on a network television station
<<<Muslim publics offer mixed views of gender segregation in the workplace. Pakistani Muslims are the most supportive: 85% say they would favor making segregation of men and women in the workplace the law in their country. A narrower majority (54%) of Muslims in Egypt also support making gender segregation the law in their country.
Opinions are more divided in Jordan and Nigeria. Half of Jordanian Muslims favor gender segregation and 44% oppose it. Among Nigerian Muslims, nearly the same percentage favor making segregation of men and women in the workplace the law in their country (49%) as oppose it (48%).
In Lebanon, Turkey and Indonesia, majorities of Muslims reject legalized gender segregation in the workplace. More than eight-in-ten in Lebanon (89%) and Turkey (84%) express this opinion, as do 59% of Muslims in Indonesia.>>>
Again, we are shown "moderate" indonesia, where only 41% of the Muslim population supports legal segregation.
PS and before people cite turkey and lebenon as proof that of mainstream moderate islam, you guys should research their unique cultural and historical legacy, and how that is at odds with the rest of the islamic world. They are very atypical, but are still dealing with very serious issues with both fundamentalism and extremism
