How Bout you for once call a spade a spade and admit Islam needs a reformation and is Completely backwards. The majority of these countries are basically a theocracy.
Now its "these countries".
Meh, I dump on all organized religion all the time. But nobody is waging aggressive war on the west for their misguided beliefs are they.
Just on Islamic nations.
Huge difference between minority and majority Islamic countries and everyone know what I mean when I say "these countries"

So be honest if you're gay, a minority, or a woman would you wanna live in a majority Islamic country?

I hope you know that Christianity exists in more than just the bible belt. This may blow your mind, but there are even LIBERALS who are Christian too.

I know that it's not a normal "Christian thing" to force children into marriage. It is a normal Muslim thing, though; from the founding.

With 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, it technically isn't the normal Muslim thing either. You just hear about all the bad ones thanks to propaganda. It's REALLY just a relic of a bygone era that fundamentalist religions (and men) latch onto. Singling out one religion over the other really just misses the point and shows that you may not actually care about the issue and more so just care about shaming the other religion.

Yet it is more common with them, and we hear of forced marriages on a regular basis. So-called "honor" killings, genital mutilation, etc, all show that there are some real issues there. Not something all do, by any means, but still too widespread.
Believe me, I'd be up in arms against any "Christian" group pushing for such a thing, too, and a lot more vocal about it.

It's more of a cultural thing than a religious thing.
Traditionally men would.marry young girls as a protector and provider rather than a sexual thing. This was common all over the world in the past.
