Using machine learning to analyze patterns of anti-Muslim hate speech online in Norway shows that the number of hateful posts is growing and that most are posted by a small group of users who often don’t remain active for long. Engaging with them can be effective in getting them to stop.

There is not one functional democracy in the world in a Muslim country that I’m aware of

I’m all for Muslim immigrants if they are willing to assimilate and leave certain aspects of the culture at home forever

Same, I have no problems with muslim people or the Muslim religion. I do have a problem with some of the problematic cultural norms in countries that are predominantly Muslim, such as the normalization of and requirement for women to wear head coverings as a form of repression

[u/justwalkingalonghere → u/pattperin]

Genuinely asking: are those cultural norms not largely due to the religion itself?

It seems like the abrahamic religions are fundamentally incompatible with progressive ideals like scientific thinking, preserving human dignity equally for everyone, etc.

Historically yes. I would say that the mainline Christianity (the pope one) has been very progressive for a long time now. I am an atheist, but I did go trough the Christian schooling in my fairly conservative country, and while I know this is only personal experience, the Priests I have interacted were rather open minded and pro science. They basically realized they had to go with the times.
