> "the analysis demonstrates that the basic values of Muslims living in Western societies fall roughly half‐way between the dominant values prevailing within their countries of destination and origin. This suggests that migrant populations living in [...] are in the process of adapting to Western cultures, while at the same time continuing to reflect the values learnt through primary socialization in their original countries of origin."

> "living within an Islamic or Western society has a far stronger imprint on values than individual‐level religious identities, or indeed the effects of an individual’s education, age, gender, and income."

> "Our overall view of these findings is that Muslim migrants do not come to Western countries with rigidly fixed attitudes; instead, they gradually absorb the values prevalent in their host society, as assimilation theories suggest"

> Evidence from the WVS/EVS (1999‐2001) indicates that religious traditions have historically shaped national cultures‐‐ but today their impact is transmitted mainly through nation‐wide institutions, to the population as a whole. Historically Catholic or Protestant or Islamic societies show very distinctive values, but the differences between Catholics and Protestants and Muslims within given societies proved relatively small.

> Nevertheless, substantial national differences are apparent, and the gap between Muslim and Western societies is particularly large. [...] Do such cultural differences necessarily lead to tensions or even clashes? No. Under high levels of existential insecurity, xenophobia and intolerance are particularly intense and likely to lead to violence.

ill send an image in general

is a harvard study 'fake news' as well?

as DrYuriMom said - this isn't advocating for islam, but rather the majority of their followers

na, she said "we owe so much to Islam"

in western countries, at least

gtfo of here

lol what? me?

Yuri

oh

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Wisdom

i mean the examples she provided were valid though

can you prove those examples wrong?

and I told her to go visit a majority Muslim country and tell me how that works out for her, but of course she won't because she knows what would happen

https://courses.lumenlearning.com/suny-hccc-worldcivilization/chapter/the-islamic-golden-age/

her personal relationships with Muslims is meaningless

yeah because their leaders are fanatical

they don't represent the views of the majority of muslims

their religion is fanatical

I am not defending the leaders of the Gulf Emirates

They are zealots

as i said, *especially* not in western/first world countries

But many muslims are not

im not defending the religion itself

either

many Nazis were probably nice bois too, so the fuck what

Just as many Christians are not fanatics, although many are

they get integrated into the society they migrate to

some, sure

as per the study i posted.

Islam did have it's more civilized period in time. Disagree with the religion as much as you want, but there's that.

cool story

and you can't blame an entire group for the actions of some

lol

fucking women...

Not a fan of the religion btw.
