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

I have witnessed tremendous change over the last couple of decades. Even now we have 10m or so Muslims in North America. These people are excited about the Western opportunities and enterprises they have engaged in. That enthusiasm reaches around the world to cities and villages of heritage. We are blending and enmeshed to such a degree that the term 'over there' has a totally different context than it once did. Our freinds and relatives are over there, and theirs are here.

Ask any woman how things turn out when she gets into a relationship with a man thinking she will be the one who changes him. Most of those women are in for a rude awakening.

If your goal is to incrementally change them to be clones of you, you are destined for failure. If your goal is to learn, change, and renew global society for the better, it may be do-able to some extent.
