If the Christian fundamentalists and the Muhammedan (or Moslem) fundamentalists ever realize how much they have in common and decide to join forces, we're going to be screwed. Especially those of us with naked, disheveled whore-hair.
Read Graeber. Islam (and the associated culture) has a larger emphasis on egalitarianism than just about any other religion I can think of. The veiling of women came from Greece.
The Scots also kept thinking alive during the dark ages, but no one likes it when an Irishman or a Scotsman beats women.
The greatest thing about Islam is it didn't always exist, so there's hope it wont in the future. I say this in spite of the fact I've never met a Muslim who wasn't just awesomely nice and generous, caring and noble, but fuck their religion.
