Nice dodge, but Islam was just an example, as you well know. Do you see the worth of adjusting morals over time or not?

You seem to be confusing morals with the entirety of a culture.
Besides, it still isn't a reason to stick to the exact same culture as time progresses and avoid any form of change.

So what reasons do you have for believing that tradition alone is a good reason for keeping aspects of a culture?
