History - first a tragedy, then a farce.

When Mohammed died so did his Medinan Republic with rights for all, replaced by Kaliphate where power was Tribal.

Power corrupts. Kaliphate morphs into monarchy. A new Kaliph would eliminate his 20 or so siblings that MBS does now.

Kaliphate/monarchy - an enterprise of gore, glory, conquest, and colonialism, was bad for all - Muslims, Asia, Europe. Smack in middle of Silk Road, Kaliphate controlled trade with oppressive Tariffs (Arabic word). 

Crusades to free trade failed, then 100 Famines in Europe around 1300AD starving Christians to half. Finally, Europeans found new routes to Asia, new lands too.

Sunni muscle/Jewish finance kept Europe fighting till Balfour's silver bullet - Israel - broke this cartel and pit these allies on other for ever. No war in Europe since Israel.

Cartel withheld world progress for 1,300 years. Now, Netanyahu and MBS with US neocons - bad news for globe. China, Russia, Iran will never allow an encore.
