Islam vs Democracy, Equality, Free Speech, Secularism, Art, and the West (Ex Muslim explains)

Is Islam compatible with the West? With Muslim populations in Europe and North America rising, this video explores whether Islamic values align with freedom of speech, democracy, human rights, secularism, and scientific inquiry. From Sharia law and apostasy to gender inequality and freedom of expression, we examine the deep cultural clash between Islam and Western civilisation. Using history, philosophy, and modern examples, we ask: can Islam coexist with Western values, or are they fundamentally opposed?
