#3 It is wise to remember the paradox of Islam. In its founding, its main selling point was not religion, but that it was a better way of living, more civilized, than tribalism or other primitivism. And at the time, they were right.

However, the times changed, but Islam did not. Yet Muslims cannot bring themselves to face the obvious, that theirs is the primitive world to be overcome, and not the other way around.

This means that at the same time they are trying to advance what they think is civilization, they have become the barbarians they loathed, and fight only on behalf of destroying civilization.

Their old argument, that their way is better, is laughable, but the only argument they have. And this is obvious to them as well--that theirs is the inferior way, the primitive way.
