Cool, now let's see a map of countries where the majority religion is islam. I fully expect to be down voted to hell but fuck it. India was Britain's favourite colony and it's clear. All of North and South America was colonised and it's clear, as are Australia and new Zealand. Not to mention all the countries that colonised them.

Yes colonisation was particularly terrible and has a great deal to answer for, but that doesn't explain the laws today. If you think that ex colonies aren't capable of changing, then you are a racist, plain and simple.

Religion is the problem and it always has been. Some religions are worse than others. The abrahamic religions are particularly bad. Of those islam is by far the most draconian. Seriously pull up the map.
