Nevertheless it is the easier to change culture compared to factors that have evolved over millions of years.

Russia used to be an aristocracy with christian orthodox religion and revolution killed that off.

Also in France the aristocracy were basically eliminate etc. The feudal systems of the world were also altered by uprisings etc

Any repressive culture which is basically those at the type of the heap controlling and indoctrinating the people
will eventually collapse due to revolt and change from within because peoples natural desire is to live peaceful
happy safe lives. North Korea is a case in point as are some cults where they control with fear and indoctrination. Eventually they will collapse from within.

Your massive fear is of Muslims and you overlook that once again its a minority of fundamentalists causing problems and the fact that there are already hundreds of millions of Muslims that do not follow the Fundamentalist path is a good indicator that cultures can and do change. In Indonesia a Fundamentalist minority does cause problems but most follow a form of their religion that is not hardline Fundamentalist. if that were not the case there would be no dialogue between them and Australia.

Just as we have minorities that engage in terrorism we also get minorities that poop their pants over that event when in fact there is more chance of dying in a traffic accident than such an event. The worlds greatest challenges are in fact providing the needed food, water and health care to the masses and to prevent wars that kill tens of millions of people. What our forebears have had to suffer through world wars and economic hardship makes today look like a walk in the park by comparison. People forget.

If this is so then:

Why was the Catholic Chinese Governor arrested in Indonesia? - Why is he currently in court and hundreds of thousands of Indonesians have protested against him stating they cannot be led by a non-muslim?
