It is more than the religion or the ideology. Certain ethnic groups and various individuals are more violent and less thoughtful than others. More intelligent peoples are usually much less inclined to violence. These peoples will be resistant to any ideology that promotes violence against anyone. You don't see modern Christians advocating any of the violence that Christianity of earlier times considered acceptable, like tortures and executions of heretics. The ignorant primitive cultures where Islam prevails today are where violence against women and non believers is acceptable. It is not complicated, these 'apologists' as the author calls them are simply multiculturalist, self despising white people and they are so messed up with their 'issues' that they can't think straight, they can't acknowledge truth, because it means acknowledging that their own belief system is wrong.
