How many centuries did it take to reach this point in Christianity? How many millions were killed along the way? What percentage of the Christian population was that? What percentage would it be now? (Speaking of tremendous loss of life.)

All very good points LL.. Maybe I'm deluding myself in believing that reform and liberalization can have an impact on moderating the fanatics which exist within Arab culture... Maybe it's the "clash of civilizations" that many have suggested we destined to fight in coming decades and we'd might as fight it now..

But I'm just not prepared to suggest it's time for to wage total war upon the Arab (read muslim) world by invading Saudi Arabia.

And I don't think the American people, or the rest of the world are prepared for such a struggle either.

So we do what we can, in an incremental manner. But I certainly am not convinced it will be totally successful.
