"I'm from Denmark. I am critical of Islam because the vast majority of terrorist attacks are committed by Muslims in the name of Islam."

You're exactly the kind of guy who seventy years ago would be talking about how fundamentally horrible Japanese culture is because look at them mannn.
All your information is so blind and shortsighted, its amazing you can even type without hyperfocusing on what you did in the last five minutes.
I'd add Germans to that, but your Danish border with them would actually maybe humanize them for you...maybe.
Of course if its seventy years ago we wouldn't be wondering what you thought of Jews either.

"Many modern Muslim countries have atrocious human rights records"

This is most of the world, including parts of Europe. Yet more signs you are of incredibly provincial mind.

"there is no defending that."

Naturally you think this is because of Islam somehow. I dunno, is Russia a repressive oligarhy run by a KGB mafia man because of Orthodox Christianity? In fact vitually all of the Orthodox Christian countries are much poorer, far more corrupt, and much less democratic then Protestant and Catholic countries of Western Europe. So I wonder then, I guess that form of Christianity is also bad and rotten somehow to you.

"And as I said, religion in those countries is simply much more influential than in the West."

This is bullshit and entirely dependent on which countries are being talked about both in terms of "the West" and the Muslim world.
You also say it with the intense ignorance of someone who thinks the current status quo has historically been the case in "the west".
If you took a plane right now to Arkansas you'd find it culturally martian to your native Denmark in the religious sense.

"I know what I think."

But you don't know its ignorant and clueless.

" Stop making assumptions about where I get my views."

Honestly it doesn't even matter really, because factually and logically alike your views are garbage.

"The thing that bothers me the most when it comes to accusations of racism is this: It's always about how WE treat THEM. It's never about how THEY treat US. Goodnight."

DONT CALL ME RACIST
*frames discussion as a literal "WE VS THEY"* hahaha
