When the common man finally learned to read and when, surreptitiously, the Bible was translated into the English language, people began to understand about the mercy and grace of God and that Christianity was about the liberation from the sentence of a harsh and unbending law as well as from those who USED the Christian RELIGION of its day as a club to control the masses. It was then that the Western culture(s) began, BEGAN to change. Both revolution and evolution have effected change in our culture and those changes have reflected our sense of fair play and justice.

Islam underwent significant changes centuries ago and it was THAT culture that helped, that contributed greatly to the Renaissance and the end of the Dark Ages. The emergence of Israel as a state, in view of the 5000+ year old blood feud and partisans seeking to manipulate Muslim populations is a big part of what is behind this retro-culture.
