Why expect more from Muslims than those of other religious faiths?

Let's get this straight: all faith leads to backwardness and death. The more consistently a faith is practiced, the more pronounced this becomes.

In the Islamic world, people tend to defer to religion more on most crucial moral issues than they do in the West. (Although with the rise of the religious right, this too is changing, and will destroy our nation if it progresses much further.) This is because the West is still riding off of the embers of the Enlightenment, whose main contribution to mankind was to muzzle religion.

I do not hold Islam to a higher standard than Christianity - they are equally poisonous to life, liberty and the intellect. We have only a short time - 20 to 40 years, maybe - before a return to Christianity puts us down a path to where we are as enslaved and impoverished as the Islamic world is today.

Right, so your own beliefs on the topic are quite different than Ali's, and rather than elaborate why her views are relevant to the question at hand, you've switched to professing your own views.

You should have just lead with that, rather than pointing to something you don't actually believe is correct.
