Woman and three young daughters stabbed in the Alps for being too scantily-dressed. They were wearing t-shirt and shorts.
Guess who?
Cue more liberal hand-wringing, navel-gazing and useless talk about how it's "only a small minority".

You describe every religion there. Islam is not different from the other religions in that aspect.
Islam is hugely different, seriously. Here's what the BBC has to say - "
All aspects of a Muslim's life are governed by sharia" (my emphasis). Buddhism, by contrast, is more of a philosophy (and a rather nice one at that). Catholicism is a series of rules and guidelines - you can summarise it maybe in the Ten Commandments - and a general request that you be nice to each other (and some natsy bits, in Leviticus in particular, that we mostly ignore). If you're saying Islam is the same as other religions, you don't really know what you're talking about I'm afraid.
The question with every religion is not if it wants to govern every part of your life (they all do), but if you let it.
If you let it? There's no "if" in Islam - apostasy is punishable by death. How are you going to decide for yourself not to follow some part of Islam if it's a potential death penalty?
The current mass immigration of refugees is due to them fleeing from the very same radical islam that is giving us this conversation about terrorism to start with.
Actually, many are economic refugees chancing their arm after Merkel threw the doors of Europe open. Watch the documentary
Greece by Simon Reeve; he speaks to a number of refugees. Some are quite open about that they're not fleeing from anything; they just heard Europe was easier to get into. (Others he spoke to are quite normal people; others are nasty misogynists)
You may believe that it is the opposite of what you are suggesting, but that is where you are very wrong. You are proposing to abolish important cornerstones of our culture in order to fight Jihadi terrorism.
What important cornerstone am I proposing to abolish?
Do you think we have religious freedom? We don't - try bringing the Westboro Baptist Church here. In fact, all our freedoms are governed by laws. We don't have free speech. We are perfectly entitled to decide what you can and can't wear (e.g. a burqa) because we already have laws on what you can and can't wear. Don't believe me? Try walking down the street naked and see how far you get.
Sorry, you haven't explained this at all.
I meant it more in a way of proposing our culture and our values and going "hey this works great for us, maybe you wanna try this too" - without the invading, plundering and general nastiness. Offering our culture as a proposal, not doing a conversion by force.
Show me one time that has worked in history, ever. The closest you can come is American TV, and even then that creates problems when immigrants find out the beautiful way of life depicted isn't an attainable reality for them, and a lot of America is actually quite rough.
