I am glad you should point that out.
I once sat with a bunch of illiterate Africans who marveled in the advancement of the “west”. I was quick to jump on it and point out something very interesting to even the muslims in the group. That being the common thread to the west was freedom a gift from God and Christianity. This is what led into the Industrial revolution that gave a quantum leap to western civilization and bout then the birth of the US of A. Since then, on a relative basis and in contrast, islam has sat backwards and effed up. Wherever islam lives, you have third world conditions plus warring and fighting.
My summary statement was that in order for those nations to progress, they had to get rid of the things that hold them down, primarily their religion.
I believe that the islamics too are bitter about islams failure in progress and they too sense the need to change but do not want to publicly admit their failings.
Somewheres between us and the satanic verses a moderate point lives. We know that communism and Islam just do not work and the Wests system and philosophy has allowed great progress. Ask the Chinese,their philosophers will hang it right on Christianity.
If the Constitution and Islam cannot co-exist, there is a historical parallel.
The United States (and Western culture) could not co-exist with Native America (and its culture). One had individual property rights as its foundation. The other did not recognize individual property rights.
Such a fundamental difference meant the two cultures could not share the same land (or continent). One had to prevail over the other.
It wasn't a question of right or wrong -- it was a matter of irreconcilable differences.
Sure, we committed atrocities against the Indians and they committed atrocities against us (and before us, each other). But that's aside from the main point -- there was no way our two societies could co-exist.
The same is true today. Islam cannot co-exist with Western culture. Somebody will have to win, somebody will have to lose -- or reform themselves.
