Reality Is Not Easy, But

Islam Was Like A Mental Cage. At First, When You Open The Door, The Caged Bird Stays Inside: It Is Frightened. It Has Internalized Its Imprisonment. It Takes Time For Bird To Escape, Even After Someone Has Opened The Doors To Its Cage.

We Have To Start With The Little Babies Who Are Born Now, Socialize Them In Freedom And Critical Thinking. We Don't Have To Throw Away Their Faith. People Confuse The Two, Thinking If You Are Enlightened That Means Apostasy. It Doesn't.

...bear True Witness, Even If It Be Against Yourselves, Your Parents Or Your Family.

I Talk About A Christianity That Is Enlightened Enough To Separate Spirituality From The Rest Of Life. Not Just Church And State, But Knowledge And Church.

I Cannot Emphasize Enough How Wrongheaded This Is. Withholding Criticism And Ignoring Differences Are Racism In Its Purest Form. Yet These Cultural Experts Fail To Notice That, Through Their Anxious Avoidance Of Criticizing Non-western Countries, They Trap The People Who Represent These Cultures In A State Of Backwardness. The Experts May Have The Best Of Intentions, But As We All Know, The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions.
