The Theology of Islam- i.e, text of the Quran and Hadith, Kill the Infadels, etc, etc

Definitely abundance on this one and hard to narrow it down to 1 choice but the Theology is the one that kind of ties it all together into a perfect and unsolvable cluster fuck.

Postcolonial legacy of stunted civil society and borders in the wrong places, coupled with lousy strongman govts. over the last several decades that we were OK with as long as they were anticommunist.

Africa has been a fucking mess, and only a part of it has Muslim influence. Central and South America have been a mess and only recently might be getting their shit together, and they're predominantly Catholic. It's not the theology. It's the institutions.

Those are all critical factors and you are correct in pointing out the messes in Central American and sub Saharan Africa and yet none of those regions have exported terror and/or the threat thereof on a similar scale to the West.

Why would you nuke Africa when I'm sure you could barter with the various governments to trade you a couple million slaves in exchange for like, bread, water and a handshake agreement that they will never be overthrown, long as the slaves keep rolling?

Why do we even back israel? Just to keep the area destabilized? I'm sure it's no surprise that I don't know shit about politics, I just know I fucking hate religion. So they all need to die.
