I think Brian Lilley had one thing wrong here though.
What he said was that everything was just “hunky dory” when what he meant to say was, ‘tickety boo’

I hate to be repetitive, but this will blow up the Middle-East, unless they convert to a new religion. Let us pray God will give one.

Finally something sensible.
The best option for the Islamic Middle East in to convert to one of the “Magian” religions of there ancestors, for example: Nestorianism, Judaisme, Parsiism, Neoplatonism, Manichaeism or “Indic” religions of there ancestors like Buddhism and Hindhuism.
Another option would be new religions like Bahaiism or Sikhism, which have a strong Islamic origin but are not technically Islamic.
Thirdly – the adoption of Evangelical, Charismatic or Catholic Christianity from the west would be a suitable option: These religions are basically a mixture of Western and Middle-Eastern ideas.
Fourthly – the adoption of the enlightenment, which would contain a system of law (Anglo, Roman or Continental), science with it’s broad historical and natural system, a system of ethics, which is mostly a mixture of Christian and Socialist ethics and the idea of constitutional monarchy, which i belief is the only western form of government suitable for the Middle East.
Not FINALLY something sensible. All my views are based in my religion.
