(I’ve slow-travelled extensively through Central Asia and my personal experience was the polar opposite of that.)
I don't know how many Muslims you know but in my experience they are just as decent, law abiding, and perfectly human as you or I.
Can you be a decent, law abiding, perfectly human and still be not accepting of others? You sure can. Nothing against muslims, just calling out straw men.
Perhaps being unaccepting of others is so endemic in once decent societies that it is actually considered decent. Not in my book.
The more and more different people you meet, the more you realise that all this religion and border nonsense is just big endian vs. little endian bs.
Nonsense, the endian wars actually serve a purpose, unlike the religious wars.
