You're right about that! It seems to me that the only way to permanently change the craziness in that part of the world is to remove children from the parents as they're born. The kids could be taught rational thought and important values such as personal freedom. These kids could then be returned to their native land when they hit adulthood. At that point they should be resistant to the Islamic "infection". This could rid the world of Islamic insanity within a couple of generations. The whackos would die off and the path would be clear for rationality to take over!
Remember , you can't force your ideas or beliefs on others . Only tyrants do that . I agree with you that Islam is one of the most fucked up religions of all time . However ' you need to fully understand that the problem doesn't lie in the way people are brought up or educated , it is also in the amount of freedom given to them by the government and the society itself . Its obviously clear that the majority of the powerful people are religious , just like it was in Europe hundreds of years ago . Liberals are being judged or completely blocked from the society . Taking children away from their parents will add nothing but more hostility and violence to the world . Its just a pathetic way to solve the problem .
