Yay, a new topic.
Anyways, I don't think there's anything wrong with Islam specifically, all three of the major Abrahamic religions have some fucked up stuff in them.
I guess the fault lies in the people who follow Islam.

Pretty much this, but I'd also add that the stuff that went down there for the past 100 years made them focus less on progressive ideas, like women being considered people or not bashing peoples faces in when they look at you funny.
Their mindset is different, from our perspective it could be said that it's backwards even.
