I documented the views of some prominent pious sufis in this thread: https://twitter.com/Rjrasva/status/608720132374790144 … Osmans, Mughals etc /1 https://twitter.com/AgentSaffron/status/674279953832255489 …
@i_contemplate_ I'm aware. Which supports my argument that 'Muslim' is not entirely useful for designating religious fascists.

@i_contemplate_ What complicates this is of course the Muslim emphasis on ummah; they don't like being distinguished except on their terms. -
@St_Rev Yeah and the spread of comms tech & Saudi money forging a stronger egregore. -
@i_contemplate_ Right. The main problem is trillions of free $ being pumped into the worst place on Earth.

@St_Rev@i_contemplate_ That's rather beside the point though. Steelmanning here, since I believe we'll in practice screw it up horribly: -
@St_Rev@i_contemplate_ 1. Half the Middle East either are in fact or are unfairly considered by the public to be our military enemies. -
@St_Rev@i_contemplate_ 2. The other half of the Middle East with which we are politically allied are increasingly dominated by jihadists. -
@St_Rev@i_contemplate_ We should disengage from ME. This will cause power vacuum, chaos, wars. Can we disengage without an Exclusion Act? -
@TristanSevers@i_contemplate_ Doesn't matter, because we--as opposed to "we"--can't do anything either way. -
@St_Rev@i_contemplate_ Sure, but you're already talking about it instead of doing something practical. -
@TristanSevers@i_contemplate_ I'm disabled, it doesn't matter what I do. I just want people to stop talking stupid.
