Islam rising isnt really a problem. A good friend of mine is a devote muslim. He's awesome. He's very buzy with his beliefs. Yet that doesnt give issues at all. His idea's of equality and human rights are the same.
On the other hand, i know some berber guy, who considers it normal he should be able to stone his girlfriend if she cheated, but that its no problem if he'd cheat on her.
One of these guys is a great person, who is a devote muslim, yet can perfectly exist in the evolved western society.
The other is a bit behind.

I'm trying to make a point that islam isnt neccecarely bad and evil as some make it sound. They are just a bit behind in time on certain points, and given a bad image cause of fundamentalists.
But as a society, looking at core value's, the "open and welcomming" way they have, is where they are better, and that is not a time thing.
