It’s a perfectly fine religion that has sects and interpretations that become problematic, just like any other religion. Every Muslim I’ve ever met has been incredibly friendly, and without the weird vibe you get from Mormons. From visiting mosques as a kid, it’s exactly the same kind of religious calisthenics and sonic identity you’d find in churches and temples. Islam served (and to an extent, still does) a purpose for community cohesion, and it’s just slightly disappointing that that same community cohesion hasn’t happened on a wider scale like the USSR had.
Where I lived used to majority white, but then became very multicultural and I met several Muslims from different places, all incredibly nice people.
