The bizarre behavior of barbaric reactionary jihadists, who are fighting to reestablish the practices and customs of the 11th century, should surprise no one. Actually ISIS is just another example of crumbling Islamic culture. When Islamic culture is forced to confront the challenges of the institutions, values, scientific and social advances that constitute modernity, it devolves into violent chaos. The entire Muslim Mideast is unstable and violent. The “Arab Spring” is nothing more than a return to medieval backwardness.
You’re being too kind.
The correct century is the 7th. ;)
That’s a take rarely said publicly, because probably it’s too close to actual circumstances.
