I have read the koran and the hadiths. The number of contradictions boggles the mind. Islam is not going to be difficult to refute. Talk to any muslim woman in confidence and ask her how much she likes irreverent religious subjugation then give her the right to vote and any islamic rule goes bye bye.
The last thing Mohammed said is the truest thing Mohammed said. Meaning that the Koran and Hadiths, which are NOT written in Chronological order, naturally contradict themselves to the unenlightened. Once again, you do not understand what you're talking about.
Maybe go grab Tommy Robinson's version of the Koran if you get a chance. At least then you can see that the Commands to Jihad, harshness towards women, etc. is the standing order. He didn't get through the Hadiths prior to becoming banned from life, but eventually, somebody'll get to it, pretty sure.
Islam is nearly bulletproof in it's absurdity. And it's believers are the most devout of any religion that has ever existed on the planet. These believers withstood the assault of the Soviet Union at the height of their power, without suffering more than a few scratches, and very successfully murdered every communist and communist ideal the soviets attempted to impose.
They do not care about you or what you believe. They know what they know, and not a damn thing you say will change their mind. You clearly think you're talking about reasonable people. I'm telling you you aren't. They're strong and stubborn survivors who've not experienced 10 years of peace in close to a thousand years. They're stronger than you, more solid in their convictions, and believe you're not just evil, you aren't even human. No atheist can be human. It's a mercy to put you down.
Liveleak is full of videos of Afghani executions of atheists, communists, and feminists, and they include the speeches about what a mercy they'd just performed. Maybe take a quick look.

They're innovating, but certainly are also stealing a lot more.
Thing is, they're trying to attract smart people, but nobody who isn't a Chinese national wants to touch China with a 10 foot pole as far as locating their research there, and that's hampering their ability to get talented and diverse workers.
They've made strides, having a lot of their people get educational visas to the US and various EU states, then going back to China.
Sad reality on that though is that the western education systems have gone to shit, and it's hard to learn about western innovation outside western business, aka not the education system.
