#1 When given the choice to support an ideology that respects rational argument verses an ideology that doesn't, the rational person ought choose the former.

Thus, any rational person ought reject Islam.

#2 Maybe if the Catholics practiced violence and intimidation, they would get more respect. When was the last time they beheaded anyone?

#5 Public bigotry against authentic Catholics is highly fashionable in the education industry and amongst the cultural elite. If you are not an anti-Catholic bigot you won't go far in those quarters, outside of a few (but not all) Catholic institutions.

Bigotry against Muslims anywhere lands you in jail.

Any questions?

#6 Here's BP's "What the Catholic Church can learn from the Muslim experience"

Basically Catholics need to do lots of violent things to make the public phobic of them.

They could also setup no-go areas for non-catholics.

They should stop working and just collect benefits.

Lying to non-catholics should no longer be a sin.

Blow up a few Mosques.

In majority Catholic countries execute those who convert.
