The extremists are the ones slaughtering people everyday, not your everyday Muslims. The more ignorant people, maybe not you, push against Muslims beliefs, the more will get fed up with it, and maybe join those extremists, and slaughter more people. Your method of calling peoples' beliefs naive and absurd seems to piss them off, the more they get pissed off, the more they are going to fight for what they believe in. What I think WoF is trying to say is that if we respect their beliefs, the regulars not extremists, less will turn to that extreme, and it might make the situation a bit better.

Except that I'm not just talking about Muslims, and I'm not just talking about extremists. I'm talking about your every day religious man who persecutes homosexuals through legislation, or believes that women should serve their husbands, and then pass this down through their children generation by generation. If there is no one to say that they are wrong, and present the reasons in a lucid manner, then nothing will change.
The word of the Lorax seems perfectly clear. UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's
not.
Thank you, Mr Geisel, you beautiful man, you.
