No, Muslim, no Jew, no Christian, no Buddhist, no Hindu, no atheist, can argue that that cat gives one fuck about human problems. Having had several cats as pets in my lifetime, all they give a fuck about is being fed and being loved.
The moment a human crosses the big red line of forcing a view on another is the moment peace jumps out of the window.
I wouldn't exactly put it that way. Gallieo was not crossing a "red line" by telling the society of his time that they got the sun/ earth relationship wrong. The crime was the church being afraid of facts and putting him under house arrest for telling the truth.
I would however agree that humans are far too often tribal and afriad of change. I would also argue pets, say cats or dogs especially, are an example of the overlap humans can find beyond our disagreements.
