Good videos to look up on the subject are videos by Maajid Nawaz, Sam Harris, Sargon of Akkad and to some extent Gavin McInnes (though mainly for the troll factor with him).
My view is I'm extremely concerned by ANY religion that begins growing in number whilst also maintaining it's conservative edge.
I'm also kinda tired of the "YEAH, BUT...CHRISTIANS, DUDE! CHRISTIANS!!" 'cos I believe that war has been won. It's been fought. It's been destroyed. We (as the UK, but as the USA too, I guess) are slowly shaking off the shackles of Christianity. And this is a good, positive step.
To then proceed to ignore that there is an issue with one of the most violent religions on the planet at this moment...is pretty fucking stupid.
But, Mohammed was a lad. And I do love me some Mo stories, tbh.
