"Give it time people, humanity is so young. Yet just over a generation Europe became 40% less religious. In another 100 years exponentially this percentage will tend to a zero. Let reluded be. When somebody believes something so dearly they will never open their eyes... "
youre right in a sense arthur
but there is a new sense of urgency given humanities ability to destroy itself with 21st century weapons. Given Islam (and mcu of christianty) can be considered a "death cult", i dont share your optimism re just waiting it out.
The Islamic world is amongst the more uneducated on the planet (and often fiercly proud of this):
"According to the United Nations’ Arab Human Development Reports, less than 2% of Arabs have access to the Internet. Arabs represent 5% of the world’s population and yet produce only 1% of the world’s books, most of them religious. In fact, Spain translates more books into Spanish each year than the entire Arab world has translated into Arabic since the ninth century."
cross that with this:
A recent poll showed that thirty-six percent of British Muslims (ages 16-24) believe that a person should be killed for leaving the faith. Sixty-eight percent of British Muslims feel that their neighbors who insult Islam should be arrested and prosecuted. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favour of a worldwide caliphate. A Dutch study reported that half of Dutch Muslims admit they “understand” the 9/11 attacks.
and you begin to understand what kind of mammoth problem we are staring at, and why Geert Wilders feels the need to wake a few people up!
