There is a desperate need to change cultures around the world.  For these old
cultures are driven by forces outside of rights, and economics, and prosperity.
Instead these cultures, such as some in Arab lands, are predicated on ancient
ideals that didn't work then without the use of force, and can't work today
without the use of force.  The idea that these cultures, and there are many
around the world, are somehow sacrosanct because they are ancient is false.  
There can be no redemption for a culture which condemns people to a life of
poverty and misery for the greater good of some unattainable state of God on
earth.  There is no reason that cultures can't change.  All of the European
cultures have changed from feudalistic ideals to democratic ideals, though they
too, haven't gone far enough.

      The idea that cultures must remain just the way they are is false, and will
only lead to a constant net outflow of people, if they get the chance, to go to
more advance cultures.  The desire to get out of failed cultures is the desire to
emigrate.  When a society has a net outflow of people, and virtually no inflow of
people, then that culture can be said to have failed.
