Of course, by most standards jihadism, salafism, takfirism, etc. are the opposite of revolutionary, but if revolution requires disregard for your own life and especially other peoples' lives it shouldn't surprise us that relatively backward people seem better at it.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8820814198873126054.post-4011104108661071672015-12-05T03:21:40.710-05:002015-12-05T03:21:40.710-05:00Or, perhaps, it has little to do with power.

Perhaps the woman saw this as a perfect opportunity to become a martyr and escape a life of objectification, slavery or worse for a place in heaven. In which case it points out the dangers that religion holds for the civilized, educated world. The more desperate the ignorant and uneducated peasants of the world become, they more they turn to religion for relief, since the ONLY other choice is revolution which will cost many lives. I feel too many people underestimate the power religious belief has over the ignorant and "down-trodden".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
