are being killed too many christians are being killed. if christianity went through almost the exact same process, people who thought they knew better and were pure and that created violence and so why is i get the sense that you think islam is different than other religions. well i m saying that christianity went through that process of reformation and analyzement and came to a place where the mass of christians, at least in the western world have accepted tolerance in the secular states. and morality of the 7th century doesn t apply in the 21st century. ali is confident islam can be transformed. i am an american and an optimist. 1989 happened. we defeated national socialism. we defeated communism. protestants and kalt lickcatholics are at peace with one another. if you believe in that, you will believe in islamic reformation. and as americans, i think we need to believe that.
