Actually, that was my rant. Ain't a half sensible man alive who won't drop that Islam fundamentalist silliness for a paying job and a cute woman. Rabid religiousity is what you have when you have nothing else. We need to help the decent people over there build an infrastructure and economy other than a natl oil trust.
Of course, the deeper issue is, some of them are so damned afraid of gender equality and losing their little patrirachal horseshit system that they'll never give up the Islamist shit. Never underestimate what a man who feels insecure about his place insociety might do to protect it. Imagine if one of the Jesus Nuts could point to a proverb in the Bible supporting the killing of infidels. We'd have a civil war on our hands.
