GuestDJ,
Your “question” is just an invitation to make a generalization about two loosely-defined groups, each consisting of billions of people.
What value is there in the answer?
So let’s say that we all agree that, “in general” Muslims treat women worse than Christians.
(Of course there are countless exceptions to this generalization, involving millions of people…but you want the world to be simple…)
Now what? What do we do with this conclusion?
Do we toss the 1st Amendment out the window? Do make an exception to the Constitution because one broadly-defined religion consisting of thousands of separate organizations is generally “worse” than another, based upon a single measure of ethical merit?
Why is this question so important to you? You’ve already made up you mind as to the answer. Now that you have your conclusion, where are you going to go with it?

Real subtle.
Funny thing is that I agree that today’s emphasis on multiculturalism is total BS, but that was never the point you intended to make with this thread.
