Ernie: Well, Left-wing Christianity wasn't always a multi-culturalist phenomenon, so I guess it isn't structurally necessary for it to be multicultural in the future, but from the perspective of 2010 it is kind of difficult to imagine a time when the current status changes. When I read tea leaves I just don't see this happening any time soon, viz, in the next 20 years minimum. Is there something you see which leads you to suspect a turnaround ?

( as you can probably be tell, I am just a bit skeptical ) Actually, a Muslim reformation/renewal isn't any more unlikely than liberal Christianity giving up on multiculturalism, which is what I think is required for America to mount the sort of coherent response to Islam you're calling for. -- Ernie P.

So he said no to peace." That's why the Arabs need to kill them all. There is no other option. Hating the Jews keeps the Arabs unified. If there are no Jews they will kill one another (as they already do, just more of it). A painfully accurate, if rather depressing, diagnosis. So what's the "Third Way" out? Is there some way (however drawn out and difficult) of forging a new identity for the Arab/Muslim world? Might a successful Iraq point the way forward?!? -- Ernie P. _______________________________________________ Centroids mailing list: [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) _http://radicalcentrism.com/mailman/listinfo/centroids_radicalcentrism.com_ (http://radicalcentrism.com/mailman/listinfo/centroids_radicalcentrism.com) Archives at _http://radicalcentrism.org/pipermail/centroids_radicalcentrism.com/_ (http://radicalcentrism.org/pipermail/centroids_radicalcentrism.com/) _______________________________________________ Centroids mailing list: [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) _http://radicalcentrism.com/mailman/listinfo/centroids_radicalcentrism.com_ (http://radicalcentrism.com/mailman/listinfo/centroids_radicalcentrism.com) Archives at http://radicalcentrism.org/pipermail/centroids_radicalcentrism.com/ _______________________________________________ Centroids mailing list: [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) _http://radicalcentrism.com/mailman/listinfo/centroids_radicalcentrism.com_ (http://radicalcentrism.com/mailman/listinfo/centroids_radicalcentrism.com) Archives at http://radicalcentrism.org/pipermail/centroids_radicalcentrism.com/ _______________________________________________ Centroids mailing list: [email protected] http://radicalcentrism.com/mailman/listinfo/centroids_radicalcentrism.com Archives at http://radicalcentrism.org/pipermail/centroids_radicalcentrism.com/
