Hey even the Dark Ages had to end some time. And the Dark Ages, Christians were really ass deep in religious bullshit and superstition it's a miracle Europe ever recovered from it. Arguably I think it was worst than Islamic practices today. If Europe could recover, and ultimately turn mostly atheist/secular I think eventually the Middle East will too, once it reaches it's breaking point of violence. But.. the sad waiting game. Then in the next 300 years they'll look back and it'll be such an embarrassing aspect of their history.
The difference is that there was plenty of time to wait for political Christianity to fall and for the religion to become secular but that is not the case today.
I think it was Sam Harris or Hitchens that said this but now there is the danger of islamic theocrats and terrorists to obtain weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) and combine that with religously brainwashed and uneducated masses and it will take only a few years to completely destroy civilization as we know it.
Actually the theocrats in Pakistan have already got their hands on nuclear weapons so something has to be done fast. We really can't afford to wait 300 years.
The war against Islam has to be fought much more intensely because of this time constraint.
