I actually live in a society that has a great amount of tolerance and respect for people of all faith's and creeds, unlike West Malaysia where racism and stereotyping reigns supreme.

But, I do, from time to time deal with fundamentalist right wing muslims who refuse to budge on simple, every day issues and believe everyone else is wrong and that the whole world is against Islam and that the only way forward is for everyone to be muslim because true muslims (i.e. hardcore right wing funadementalists) are right and everyone else has evil intentions against allah and what have you.

Its like talking to a brick wall. You can try and try to be logiical (and illlogical at times without success) and it doesn't get you past the first mile out of fort lewis...

Yes, I do agree with JJ_BPK's point of view in that education play's a vital role in making a man but when someone is so bitter and so angry against the world, everything rational goes out the window.

Its impossible to talk sense.
