You assuming again. They don't want to be exempt from modern society, why would they? I think i am in a position to know better than you.
The religion is not a cancer - it's the people that preach hate that are. They preach hate under the guise of Islam, and gullible people get carried away with it. Just like people who beleive everything they see/hear on Sky News.
How many Muslims have you been in direct contact with? if any, ask them how many people they have killed etc, then we can see how different they are from non-muslims. You seem to make out that every Muslim is a killer and wants to kill you no matter what over trivial issues.
