I am quite sure the slaves of America thought that slavery would never change. I am quite sure that women at one time thought why try to vote, that will never happen.
That is utter bullshit. I have had Muslim friends and even a former Muslim now atheist, who was from Morroco, who wants to see the same thing I do. I think you underestimate the empathy our species can and does have. Change cannot happen if no one dares to try.
There are no garuntees to life. But I am damned sure going to try and change is possible otherwise the oppresion in our human history that we no longer have in the west, would still exist.
"Nothings going to change" yea, with that attitude you are sure to fail. I'd rather fail trying than do nothing and insure failure.
If Christianity can leave the Dark Ages Islam can escape it's own uncivil barbarity. I'd like to give my fellow human that oportunity. Humans can be civil as much as they can be barbaric. So it is up to us what we promote.
No, I did not say nothing's gonna change. I said appealing to Muslim extremists won't work. I did say I had a secret plan that would work without hurting anyone. I think it's a fool proof plan.
