#5 A failed civilization and a failed culture coupled with a holy book that is manual for successfully infiltrating a fractured society, taking it over, and using it as a base for rapid expansion and cultural domination. Throw in Leninist agitprop (the many Saudi-funded dawa efforts), indoctrination (madrassahs), and cell structure and you have something that is short lived, violent, and very dangerous before it collapses in on itself.
