I don’t think Bryce’s contentious way of putting things is helpful either. True, I think the Islamic worldview is pretty medieval in nature but they don’t have to come all the way into the 21st century. I’d be happy if they made it as far as the 17th or 18th century when John Locke, Thomas Paine and other lights of humanism were defining how the rights of the individual within a civil society were more important than the demands of any group, be it majority or minority. In fact, it might behoove some of us in the West to remember that time too.

To any muslims who may be offended by this: Fuck you and your batshit archaic ways of thinking. You people are childish and pathetic. If other peoples ideas and beliefs scar you so much, then don’t join or attempt to become part of modern civilization. Stay in the desert and let the rest of us live pleasant lives without you and your stupid religious sensibilities.

I`m afraid I am not in the least bit optimistic about the future!
