My question applies more to the people converting to "peaceful islam", as you call it. To me that equals with voluntarily refusing basic democratic freedoms people enjoy in the West. And then legitimizing a discriminating religion, part of whose goals is to transform society as we know it into one based on religious law (Sharia).
Ultimately I wouldn't give a flying fuck about religious law of any kind. But I do mind when the followers of that specific religion seek to impose THEIR religious law upon ME.

you need to visit some islamic countries that have not been graced by US democracy you will find a completely different picture of islam...I can honestly say that western culture can not hold a candle to peaceful islam, simply because of how decent and "pure" MOST of them a brought up...things like profanity are looked down upon and virtues like tolerance and patience are held in the highest regard...sure in the USA people drive fancy cars and buy 2000$ ihones but branded stuff and having a better car is not a high priority for everybody in the world, based on branded cloth and being a hipster one can argue that muslims lead a "worse" life but it is completely not true...
as for "liberty"....well the USA holds a huge part of the worlds prison population...it is SO easy to be arrested in the USA, I remember reading about guys being arrested for importing lobster tails in plastic bags rather than in boxes
so "freedom" is very very relative...Im sure theres a great reason for no plastic bags, and only boxes, I really believe this, BUT in an islamic country they would have just told you to get it in boxes next time, you would not go to jail or have to pay 200.000$ to a lawyer or have to pay 100.000$ fine USA style...
the shaira crap is blown out of proportion...the "impose islam on the rest of the world" story is also only in the heads of US media and US voters...
