<p>That's a false dichotomy, because nonreligious people find some other ways to create an "us vs them" mindset. We see it all the time.<p>It's also a fallacy to group all religions under one banner and claim that they all say the same. Even among what you call "organized religion", while there is some overlap between say Islam and Judaism/Christianity, once you start looking at things deeper, you'll see how Islam comes out different, and as a Muslim, I'd say on top.</p>

<p>Those kinds of apps appearing are due to circumstances that set the wheels in motion a long time before.<p>When religions like Islam, Judaism, and Christianity heavily control mixing between the genders, it's for a reason. Once the boundaries broke down and the so called "sexual revolution" took hold, it was only a matter of time.</p>

<p>That's a straw man. Speaking as a Muslim, Islam controls mixing between genders of people that are non-Mahrams (i.e. people who are able to get married to each other). The same applies to Judaism and Christianity. Interactions between the genders is controlled and under specific circumstances, based on necessity, and no such thing as "casual friendship" exists between the genders.<p>The reason of course, is that the natural desire of humans, as well as the influence of Satan, will cause things to end up badly, as we've seen time and time again. Wasn't there the "metoo" movement that we saw?<p>I have not seen any Muslim scholar declare men as defacto "predators".</p>

<p>Let's look at that notion deeper. Are you able to claim that consenting adults engaging in sexual acts together in an uncontrolled manner (i.e. no marriage contract) is not hurting others? What about consenting teens with each other? I think you'll see that widespread STD's, abortions, teen pregnancies, single parent (especially single mother) families, and the emotion baggage that comes with these easy sexual relationships disagrees with you.<p>Secondly, what or who is your authority that people doing what they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone is a valid generalization to make for all actions?</p>

<p>That's a hand wavy answer that won't hold up to scrutiny. In some cultures, human sacrifice was permitted and seen as normal and acceptable. I think you would consider that a violation of human rights, but based on what?<p>I agree that companies should be forced to abide by the local laws and norms.</p>

<p>So ignorant to call them "tax base", when in actuality, Zakat that Muslims pay is much much more than the Jizya that Dhimmis pay.<p>The Copts exist today because of the Muslims, this is a fact, even if you try to twist the meaning of what I wrote. They are to be treated well, and with dignity, and their rights preserved.<p>Secondly, I don't see what makes them "second class citizens", not to mention that even wikipedia acknowledges discrepancies in the points they mention.<p>As a matter of fact, several Jewish and Christian historians and figures clearly expressed that they would rather live under a proper Islamic rule as it offers them better quality of life compared to secular modernity: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc6yXYR01Vg&t=6s" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc6yXYR01Vg&t=6s</a></p>

<p>Homosexual acts are prohibited in the Islamic faith. No one is forcing you to accept it, as such, you should leave those countries rule according to their faith. Islam has been preserved for over 1,400 years now, we don't need or want external meddling. We have already faced brutal colonization from the West in our history, and continue to do so.</p>

<p>It's not private behavior, that's the problem. Secondly, just because something is private (or not) does not mean it is acceptable. Some behavior are infective, and spread throughout society. We're seeing what's happening today right before our very eyes.<p>Secondly, who gave the right to non-Muslim countries to enforce what they think onto conservative Muslim societies? This is literally continued colonization.</p>
