@pwm The west should withdraw from the middle east on the condition that crude stays under $60 a barrel, if they do some shit that makes it go over by even a dollar then the responsible parties are nuked to oblivion. They can have their dumb regional conflicts, I do not care, but if some cunt tries to close a shipping lane then nuclear rape penalty.

@scathach @syzygy I think a less bombastic way of phrasing my thoughts is that Islam keeps them trapped in the same cycle of violence and oppression of and against one another that they've been in for 2000 years (or longer if you roll back to say the Sumerians). But yeah maybe swapping the religions wouldn't do too much if they didn't solve their other problems, but I really think they can't progress without becoming the Islamic equivalent of the Christians who ignore the parts of the Old testament with proscriptions on mixing fabrics, so to speak. I really don't know if that kind of reform or softening of attitude is even possible under Islam.

@pwm @syzygy The middle east's problems haven't been caused by Islam at all, if the region was Christian or Hindu it would have much the same set of problems just with a different cultural flavor

@syzygy The problem with the middle east boils down to islam, and you cannot exterminate a religion without a genocide, and no one wants to do that, regardless of whether they should or not.
