That is what I am getting to in this thread: evolution of society.
People evolving to where they still have their religious beliefs, but a society where non-murderous types of all faiths temporarily suspend their offense at their own faith being lampooned and marching in favor of free speech rights - in unity.
Will it happen?
For my money? No, not with people who are taught by their religious leaders and their holy book that not only is the depiction of their god cause for murder, but that non believers are no better than animals to be slaughtered.
“Will it happen?”
No it won’t. What’s this notion of society “evolving”? Society seems to be evolving right down the toilet as far as I can see.
Prior to the rise of Islamicists there was no need for such a march. There was no need to clarify the idea that artists and journalists had the right to express opinions and even mock sacred beliefs without losing their lives.
I doubt it. Look, the society is ‘evolving’ down the toilet. I just cant see the kind of societies we have now surviving into 2100 (not a radical claim as its really been around only a little more than a century).
