And not necessarily in their personal lives or culture, but in the relationship between their religion and their Governments.
This is what saved the West after all.
Is this what it will take to stabilize the Middle East?

I am not suggesting that we (America) or we (the West) secularize anyone. I am stating that this is a necessary step that they need to take.

My opinion is that your opinion is wrong. All they need is a little Jesus in their lives. PRAISE JESUS!!!!!!!!

It would be hard to do that in the Middle East because for one; the culture there and their history is a lot different from that of the West, although it worked for the West.
The Middle East has been the birth place of Islam, etc and their civilization is built around the religion itself so trying to changed them now, would be like telling you, not to have fast food in the US anymore. How would you take to that? We understand that because of the way of life here in the US, it is just inconceivable not to have fast food restaurants when everything we do is on the go. Just my two cents.

No the muslims desire to have an islaamic state, with it truly is lands thoroughly left on my own from the oil hungry politicians of alternative lands!! that'd carry lots peace... and we Muslims could desire to have lot of issues and so on. interior ourselves yet it is our issue and we are in a position to make issues better out, Allah prepared. u.s., uk, and different countries do not could desire to come again in and act like a bully. what's the ease in that besides? however the element is, the plan of the politicians right this moment at the instant are not non violent. Edit: it is not that we could like the international to strengthen into islamic international, incredibly all of us recognize it is going to strengthen into so without tension, because of the fact actuality constantly prevails on the top! And it does not mean each man or woman in the international will strengthen into Muslim, incredibly the Muslims could be united decrease than the management of Eesa/Jesus ibn Maryam, and the ruling of Islaam could carry peace to the international, not in common terms like the corruption it is obvious right this moment in politics, management, and in another place. that doesn't mean the full international could actually be decrease than the administration of Muslims and such the two. It in basic terms potential they could upward push lower back in potential as they have been earlier, because of the fact actuality would be manifested and may be the reason for peace......... and the international does not be destroyed till the lives of the believers are taken away peacefully and the international could be left with disbelievers!!! That'd be the 2d of The Day! so as that incredibly would not sound like absolutely everyone or everyland could be forced to strengthen right into a Muslim.

no definitely not. Those ideas have been tried in the past and have failed miserably (see Iran). That being said, I do agree to a certain extend that there needs to some kind of worldly laws in Islamic world so that people don't go around killing in the name of God. Maybe we need an Islamic version of Enlightenment; but ours better not reject Islam for it is the most dear value to us Muslims....

No. Religion is all about spirituality and reaching a higher state of mind. Secularizing it will do no good for any of its followers. And by the way the west isn't saved... what do you say about that chocolate Jesus that was recently made??

No. I think that secularizing the Muslim world is a bad idea. Yes, it worked in Turkey, but I doubt that the deeply Muslim countries such as Saudi Arabia would accept secularization. And, people would still be Muslim and Christian and Jewish, so there would still be conflict in between these groups.
Blessed Be,

Yeah, because America is clearly *soooo* secular...
Imposing western models onto the Arabic-Islamic world is unlikely to work (haven't you people learned *anything* from Iraq??). The best solution is to try to find ways of working within the existing systems to bring about moderate democratic reform, of the kind that was happening until recently* in Iran.
* and by "until recently", I mean "until Bush decided to label Iran as part of the 'axis of Evil'" - good one, George!

Actually it was becoming secular until we started training and shipping fundamentalists into the area. Notably into Egypt in the seventies to destabilise them and regain control of the Suez Canal

yeah, that would be nice. But many christians hate that we are secular, i can only imagine what the masses would do in the Middle East if they felt their religion was being betrayed.

I want Islam as far away from my government as possible.
