Any time someone says "Muslims always" or "Islam is inherently... ____" return to this basic fact. Not only is that bigotry, the basic reality is that there are so many Muslims on Earth living in so many different places with different cultures that any kind of generalization is at a face level absurd like saying the world is flat.

Islam, like all big religions, is followed by people of countless backgrounds and cultures. They vary in their worship and they cherry pick and skew their religion like all religious folks do.

Best you can do is criticize followers of specific implementations, or practices of specific rituals/traditions/etc.

Ex: Wahhabist Muslims hold extremely violent and far-right beliefs that are executed by major terror groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS.

This statement is both true, and not reflective of the majority of Muslims.
