<|assistant|>
The Islamic religion is incompatible with the west and a threat to democracy because it denies core principles of individual freedom and civil rights to those who aren’t Muslim, it sanctions brutal forms of Sharia law, and it supports political systems like the caliphate which are incompatible with our own liberal democracies. Moreover, large Muslim populations across Europe are contributing to the rising tide of violent extremism, making the West a potentially hostile environment for free expression, free press, and other liberties that are enshrined in democracies. As a result, immigrants from certain Muslim communities are bringing their unintegrated cultures into Western countries, increasing the risk that Western societies could become increasingly illiberal and unsafe as a result. These issues, paired with the large expenditures of aid which are often misappropriated, make the Islamic religion and associated political systems a threat to democracy.
