Yeah, hopefully the change will come soon.
Unfortunately I doubt it will be within our generation unless there's a sudden change, and even then I don't think we'll be able to get rid of the nutjobs for at least 20 years.
I know that in Iran, Islam is shrinking, I think quite quickly. So many Iranians who come out of Iran end up becoming Mormons or Christians on one side, and others become agnostics and atheists on another, as well as many are learning about, and some even becoming Zoroastrian. An Iranian friend of mine said, "We are fed up with Islam, and even more fed up with Islamic values being forced upon us". Even the majority of Iranians that come out of Iran and keep their faith tend to be liberal.
Perhaps the early Muslims discovered this, and that is why the death penalty was created, and since one's children are Muslim as well because of the father (since we all know a Muslim woman can only marry a Muslim man, but a Muslim man can marry a Christian or Jewish woman as well as a Muslim woman), it's often almost impossible to leave Islam except moving elsewhere and changing your name or something as well, really, and considering not everyone can afford that, it makes a pretty good way of keeping them in!
Sad, really!
