You played the Trump card. I see what you did there.
But even in places where you can choose between many parties there's a really strict code that if you have any "Islamophobic" standpoints you will not be accepted by the "correct" parties. So you end up choosing between the one rightwing nutcase party or all the other ones that are in denial. The "cordon sanitaire" is a real thing. The majority of the political parties and seats in parliament reflect the opinion of a minority of the people nowadays.
I still can't vote for people like Le Pen or Wilders because I'm usually more progressive / liberal but I simply cannot and will not blame the people that do.
I want to live in a country where we can make a "Life of Brian" like movie about Muhammed, where women and gay people have equal rights not just in law but also within the community. If a multicultural, progressive society is too complex / modern / intimidating to stand there are plenty of other places to go and build your own life to your own believes.
They're hanging gay people in Saudi Arabia and Iran, I heard they're really welcoming countries and a paradise to live in.
If that's the thing that gets you off, go there.
I've seen an amazing amount of Muslim people just cope fine with Western society over the years so I'm sure it's not Muslims as a group, just the guys that went 11 on the scale of Westboro Baptist Church.
