Fucking awful. People talk about religious conflict between different religions in the ME, but the mother of all of them was always the greater internal war of moderate Islam (mainly of sufi origin) VS its wahabbi fucktarded interpretation. Guess which one is winning, and which one belongs to this blown up mosque.
Fear, yes. But coupled with something resembling order as opposed to a failed state. Which is why they have been able to make these impressive gains in such a short time, and why Talibans were able to win after Afganistan imploded into warlords fighting each other after the URSS occupation. The power vaccuum generated by the downfall of regimes like Hussein's or Assad is what made ISIS possible. So good job at playing the Saudi's tune, USA.
Fear. Thats how Taliban won.
