Hum : no.
THe culture are opposite.
1)Today's Islam is a feodalism. that just make totally opposite vision with yours ( or mine )
2) There is no sense of love in islam, nor in their book. ( the word, or the vision of "love" and peace, and humanism doesn't exist in islam itself : humanism is christian : it appears differently in asia : but it is not the same humanism ).
3) As define in their book : and they cannot change their book (so they cannot change their religion): they need to conqueer the sheep with other god, ( and they can their woman and child ).
Ok : you may say there are good muslim , you are right.
But there is no peacefull islam : at the bases it is a fondamentalism/integrism. ( maybe more than other religion : this is a systemic analysis ).
But do we need to invade all the country around : no.
But what is the population and the force of the population of "christian"/"humanism"/"democracy" culture : 13 % ? And will be a lot less in decades.
I prefer agnostic, or atheist with spirituality : this is more peacefull.
@zarp3333 religion make people peacefull ? don't think so.
Spirituallity yes.
Religion contains spirituality ? yes. but religion separate the community : and it will create conflicts and wars.

In sweden and in france, they are talking about the european culture, and the islam culture.
My position : this religion (islam) will, and can conqueer other culture.
Because this is religion that have real power over the people. ( more than christian and jews )
In Quran : it is said there is two ways to conqueer the other non islamic country : with an army, or by corrupting the culture, and get the politic power.
Clever ?
But dangerous : because this is not a book from sun tsu, and a dead culture.
I am not racist (i am just against religion, and pro the individual spirituality), but i know it could be stupid not to watch carefully what appears in european culture.
"humanism"(etc) and "feodalism" doesn't fit together.
So we need to be strong and say no this is our culture, you can pratice yours, but we don't want more.
You speak in term of religion ( and the peace between relgions) : but it is in term of culture, a culture of freedom vs a culture that have not yet imagine freedom.

When you debate liberals, they will say it's okay because Israel has nuclear weapons.
Last I checked the leader of Israel was not seeing lights shining from heaven at the UN. Israel was not vowing to prepare the way for King David.
Liberals are okay with this religious nut having nuclear weapons because of their twisted hate for Israel.
If the Vatican came out and wanted Nuclear weapons, these same liberals would be crying about crusades and religious nuts but they are okay with this loon getting nuclear weapons.

I think I understand what you're saying... the way of life, not just the religion.
I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it though. Religion is dying. What we witness these days with the screaming psychotic believers is merely a symptom of that death. The dwindling numbers of the faithful know this too, though they will say otherwise. They lie first to themselves and then to others.
Religion will eventually die... it just won't die quietly.
Zionism
Zionism is the Jewish national movement of rebirth and renewal in the land of Israel - the historical birthplace of the Jewish people. The yearning to return to Zion, the biblical term for both the Land of Israel and Jerusalem, has been the cornerstone of Jewish religious life since the Jewish exile from the land two thousand years ago, and is embedded in Jewish prayer, ritual, literature and culture.
Modern Zionism emerged in the late 19th century in response to the violent persecution of Jews in Eastern Europe, anti-Semitism in Western Europe. Modern Zionism fused the ancient Jewish biblical and historical ties to the ancestral homeland with the modern concept of nationalism into a vision of establishing a modern Jewish state in the land of Israel.
The "father" of modern Zionism, Austrian journalist Theodor Herzl, consolidated various strands of Zionist thought into an organized political movement, advocating for international recognition of a "Jewish state" and encouraging Jewish immigration to build the land.

You're missing the point. Islam is currently killing non-muslims by the thousands daily.
Christians and Jews aren't.
And we see a leader of Islam threatening on worldwide television. You don't see Christians and Jews doing that or carrying out violence.

But don't come back with some "the Koran demands it" nonsense. So do the Torah and the Bible.

The worst genocide since Hitler took place in Sudan. No, not in Darfur, but in southern Sudan and the Nuba mountains. From 1983 to 2000 at least 1.9 million died, all of them black Africans, most of them Christians.
Sudan is two countries that the British made into one: the north is Muslim and Arabic-speaking. The people are dark but not black Africans. The south is black and mostly Christian. It has two-thirds of Sudan’s oil.
The government that carried out the genocide was run by Arab-speaking Muslims from the north. It was not just a case of genocide: it was also a jihad, a Muslim holy war, the largest in living memory.
As a genocide it is upstaged in the Western press by Rwanda, where 800, 000 were killed, and even Darfar, where 300,000 have died so far. Both are much smaller genocides.
As a jihad it is upstaged by the one fought by Al Qaeda and the Taliban, which, so far, has been far less deadly, though it is directed against Western interests.
The genocide was directed against the Dinka, Nuer, Shilluk and Nuba. It sold tens of thousands of them as slaves. It destroyed Christian churches, schools and hospitals. It wanted to clear the lands where there was oil.
The government kept food from reaching the south knowing full well that people there were dying of hunger.
