This point is far enough but I would rather you just kept to saying that Islam is backward rather than claiming that Islamic countries are the most backward countries (but only if you conveniently exclude all the other "ass backwards" countries from the equation). Other countries are not particularly relevant to whether Islam is necessarily oppressive and violent.

Is that ok? Or am I typing out of my ass?
