I am neutral on existence of God.
On Islam - there is no universal tradition, just set of rules, that are followed to higher or lesser degree around the world. On one end, you have salafists (Saudis, ISIS, Taliban and euro-wahabbis), who want to go "back to roots" (or back to caves) and live word by word according to rulebook from 7th century written by desert nomad. On the other, there are quite modern, powerful countries like Turkey or even Russia, where Islam developed in another more modernist form.
I dont feel hatred towards it or its believers - ardent believers are simply way too backwards to be a direct threat to current order. Rather I am afraid of westerners, who use it as yet another tool to shut down dissent - via political correctness. In this way, hapless muslim immigrants prove to be quite useful...
