> Zealouse religious sects in the middle east and Africa (and other places, but mostly there) live in terrible third world conditions that never seem to change.
Sure it changes. Any spot in the world would turn into war zone full of religious fanatics if you bomb it for thirty fucking years.

@AgapeLove This is all new though. Islamic fanaticism as we currently understand it is very modern and recent.
This isn't just the US. England, France, Russia, and many other players have been just as heavily involved. The history is complex with a lot of players.
I recommend reading on it. There's a lot of really good books on this.

@AgapeLove What exactly are you trying to argue? That the 7th century was violent, and 2019 is now also violent, so it's just always been the same?

@AgapeLove Yeah that is what I'm talking about. Obviously violence existed and has always existed.
Lemme put it this way - nobody talked about Islamic terrorism until 9/11. We wouldn't be having this conversation just 20 years ago.
