I've travelled to some Muslim countries. Some are more extreme than others. It all depends how serious they take their interpretation of Islam. In Pakistan for example. Non-Muslims are literally hunted down in the streets, beaten, gang raped in public, robbed, thrown in prison for blasphemy etc. simply because they are not considered human. Now, you'd think engaging in a sexual act even forced is against the religion, but, if one is a non-believer, it is "okay".
Although some Islamic countries are moderate, I still wouldn't feel safe walking around displaying any other religious belief, being gay or an independent female.
There is a clear problem with Islam and the lack of respect for those of a different belief for sure. But, if we did not have infastructure and police who will show up in minutes I'd imagine some religious extremists here would be doing similar.
