8. That's culture, cultures change.

When Habeeb gets invited to the BBQ, and you have enough respect to get the all beef hot dogs, and you talk to him, that's when he starts looking at the world outside the view he was raised in. That's assimilation. I mean damn, I just saw this documentary on the dark ages, it said Europe came out of them BECAUSE of the crusades, because they saw all this stuff in the east that they brought back home. Interaction with middle east people will do the same in the other direction, the benefits of secular culture will seep in, and the fundamentalism will fade.
