These Muslims are peaceful, productive and civilized as their desire is to become modern instead of living back in archaic times of deadly conquerors who slaughters one another in the names of their gods..Islam history has been one of scholarly endeavors. Muslims are known for education among their women. They are interested in social and economic development, while at the same time retaining their good cultural values. They wish to enter the modern world and leave their extremist problems behind them, as Christians have done–burdened by the shadow of bloody Crusades (meaning cross-bearing) and the torturous Inquisition that forced non-believers to believe or die by stretching machines, being burned alive at the stake and other vicious means of suffering.
Christianity, a Middle Eastern religion, too, no longer believes in stoning women to death for adultery, what began in the Hebrew Bible that some think was "written by God"–actually a committee made up exclusively of men in a strict man's world. All Semite branches of the same related rival religion are trying to keep their own fanatics down to a roar, such as the KKK and ISIS. Each nation must tether its own radicals.
All moderates are more interested in unbiased education than stringent narrow beliefs that bring people to their knees by burdens that are violations against human rights. In America there is counter efforts by right wing radicals to break down the quintessential constitutional wall between church and state. Public unbiased education must be preserved without any government funding of charter (religious) schools.
