[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1674953, member: 2189"] Would you have no problem paying my portion of taxes I'm charged to pay in order to make this happen? No? Yeah, I didn't think so. Our ancestors went through something called "The Enlightenment" which opened minds to rethink the idea of monarchy. Had we not gone through this period and gaining knowledge and understanding, it would have been foolish. The muslim world very early on was a rather enlightened society with great advances in science, mathematics and philosophy. Their great age ironically took place as the christian west was locked in it's own Dark Ages not unlike the muslim world is today. There is a muslim enlightenment brewing and growing but we've injected ourselves into their culture and thus muddying the waters. In fact, as I look at the outcome along with the history of colonialism, I can't help but to question if that is really the intent! [/QUOTE]
