How many more centuries do you think it will take for them to wake up and smell the coffee?

Dunno, it's been about 13 1/2 centuries since the foundation of Islam, which, I would argue, is more of a vector for 7th century Arabic culture than a religion.

I could make the same argument about the more obscure commands in Leviticus, only different time frame, but we don't follow them, and no Jews follow them all, no stoning adulterers, no burning witches. We wear clothing made from more than one fiber, we sow fields with more than one seed, stuff like that.
