That's not the Taliban, tho is it?

I do think the common factor here is not Islam but being a bunch of hill dwelling goat-botherers. The Welsh are very similar.

But the Welsh can drink.

You have apoint. No doubt this is why they are merely a bit characterful, rather than being mad angry bastards.

I've said this before, what we need is a muslim reformation and then a muslim Nietzsche to seal the deal. That should suck the ass-backwardsness and hyperbolic zeal right out Islam, after that they will be avioding the mosques like the plauge, except for wedings and funerals.

PS: I reserve the right to be prejudiced against any religion, just understand that I mean religion, not its practitioners.

A Muslim Nietzsche. [Shudders] Is bad enough without Muslim fundamentalist start interpreting Das Will Zu Mach, remember Marx. Germans are prone to be misinterpreted and the cause of massive genocide.

That's on the sister. Friedrich was no Nazi. What I was getting at is that Islam needs to symbolically kill god.

'They' don't need Nitetsche for that. They just need to move beyond primitive social structures. Which is as much economics as anything else. Although I admit that economics is generally healthier in region where one isn't as likely to get exploded.

On a more serious vein, surely the principle here is the elimination of 'certainty' from politics. Religious zeal of any form is antipathetic to discussion, and thereby precludes any alternatives but slavery and violence. The zealot dreams himself both your master and your conqueror.

How I love my feudal countrymen. You know what is scarier? The clanmothers are actually among the bloodthirsty ones that urge these idiocies.
I am aware that this whole idiocy is actually a form of primitive (but effective) clan & birth control (Most people actually don't even care about the bloodline aspect, excepting the cases of long time feuds. Even then second cousins only rate cold non-talking attitute instead of bullets.) but in the last 5 or 10 years, the whole charade became a terror tool and nothing else.

Turkiye, Fırmly being pushed to become like the good Islamic teocracies south of us.

Hit the nail right on the head.
