The hatred for women, homosexuals, and non-believers are exactly parallel.

But having seen some opinion polls from the Middle East, what passes for fringe in Christianity in the West or Ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel is frighteningly mainstream in middle-eastern Islam, and this does not bode well for the mass immigration of Muslims into secular and relatively tolerant Europe. Most Muslim immigrants into the US are well-educated and cause few problems with integration. The ones immigrating into Europe though are often from the tribal areas of Morocco or Turkey, and since they fetch spouses (often cousins) from back home, those communities tend to remain closed and do not integrate. It's bound to cause problems.
