I am of the opinion that we are in the midst of another era like the 1960s, a time of intense change. The fundamentalists and the most conservative are up in arms, as they always are. They feel threatened, and perhaps rightly so, because they are faced with the reality of change. Younger, more liberal, more open-minded people are replacing them and the world is being shaped by those people. They do not like that. AT. ALL. And they are fighting mad, giving into the most extreme elements in their fear and anger.
But history has shown us that, ultimately, they are just shouting into the wind.
