But your point has no relevance even if it were true. It is a fallacy of equivalence; trying to associate a subset (Muslims more likely to be medical doctors) with the peacefulness of all members of said group.
I could as easily use your same argument there against the Right's claim that Islam is a violent religion: "It is a fallacy of equivalence to associate a subset (those Muslims who commit terrorist attacks) with the degree of violence (much less the statistically-significant lack thereof as compared to America) within stable Islamic societies."
Again, a false equivalency. If your sole basis for being more peaceful is the homicide rate, there are a number of nations Muslim or not, that are not as violent as the USA. Where are the national statistics for ALL violent crimes? Oh that's right; we don't know for sure because most Muslim nations don't seem willing to report these figures. You know, rapes, assaults, batteries, arsons, robberies, etc. Or report homicides honestly when they do report such figures. Got to keep up with appearances you know?
Come on, CA! You're starting to go down the road of silliness here! You're better than this! "Oh, well, ha-
rumph, we can't be sure that those statistics are accurate, you know, 'cause how do we know that they actually report all murders et al."
Your claim would almost require that they're a different kind of human, that in their stable, peaceful, prosperous nations (that ALL have significantly lower percentages of their populations in prison), the people somehow don't report murders or arsons or assaults or robberies! Rapes? Last I recall, that's the least-reported crime - not only there, but here, too!
It's as if you have convinced yourself that their stable nations simply cannot be as safe and as prosperous as our own, apparently based on nothing more than right-wing media claims and your own assumptions. CA, you need to get a clue that people are people are really people, that YES, Muslims are human beings with the same bell-curved set of wants and needs and desires - and sense of outrage at obvious injustice - that we have! GO there! Go travel to those nations and see for yourself! Are they perfect? Hell no! But they are nowhere near as terribly tyrannical as you seem to believe, as right-wing media would have you believe!
Democratic nations like ours are self-revealing because our citizens demand it. Trying to compare and contrast is a bit more involved than quoting available figures.
Y'know, if I hadn't been to several of those places, if I didn't have extended family members working and happily living in those places, you might have a point. But when I "quote available figures", I'm using them to back up what I've experienced first-hand in Dubai, Bahrain, and Indonesia, what those members of my family who live in Riyadh and Dubai experience every day.
And one more thing: I do love democracy - I really do. I would love to see all nations become democracies. But I've seen enough of this world to know that democracy is not the only path to peace and prosperity for a nation's people...especially given that there's a heck of a lot of third-world nations out there that ARE functioning democracies, but nonetheless ARE significantly more corrupt, that still have significantly LESS freedom of the press than the stable Muslim nations you denigrate.
Broaden your mind, CA - and if you haven't, go spend some time in the stable Muslim nations, see them first-hand...and ask yourself why it is, if we're so much freer than they are, that we are by definition the worst prison state on the planet.
