    I am repulsed by the inhumanity that exists in Islam. I am not repulsed by the individual Muslims who are trying to live good lives.

    The Muslims I knew at university weren't like that. They were, of course, fairly Westernized.

    Seems to me extremists like the Taliban, ISIS, etc are the few who hold to those extremes. They're repulsive.

    Right. Most Muslims are as devout as Catholics are devout. Not to say that the hard corps Catholics are monsters like the Muslim hard corps are.
