FERNANDO VILA [GUEST]: Islam, yes. It's a problematic religion because, socially speaking, what it brings you is not peace, not love, not inclusion, nothing of the sort. The way women are treated is all too obvious: it’s so aggressive.
It’s also dominated by enormous religious fanaticism. When you get a young man or woman to strap on explosives and blow themselves up at a pharmacy, that points to a psychological problem of brainwashing ... on a whole other level, and it’s also dominated by international terrorism, because Al Qaeda, ISIS, and all those groups, well, they fly the banner of this kind of Islamism. In other words, it’s not peace, it’s not love, as you might find in other religions, right?
And it’s far too aggressive, far too dangerous for the Western world. People don’t understand that the war we might have in Lebanon with Hezbollah or in Gaza with Hamas is better fought there than on our own streets.
