Charles: You are mixed up and you are confusing concepts. Capitalism is
not Christianity. One is an economic system and the other is a religion.
Christianity has undergone a modernization process and has entered a
period of "Enlightenment" which it is still experiencing. But Islam never
will modernize unless it changes its religious goals - which is to conquer
the world for Islam and _kill_ infidels - (or subject them to
dhimminitude). That must change and it likely never will -- but there are
secular Muslims who have a cultural attachment to their heritage. I know
some of them. A friend, who is gay, is an Iranian -- and born a Shiite,
but he cannot remain in the mosque and cannot submit to a religion which
would kill him. There has been no reformation for Muslims.
