I lived in 4 #Islamic nations to study #ScienceFiction popularity during the #ArabSpring2010

#RescueFriendsOpera Rescue friends from media cults, magical science fiction outer-space voice stories.

#Islam is the newest of the "classic science fiction" stories from the #Levant - but the fiction addiction is all over. #FoxNews etc.

@RoundSparrow I suspect that humans have a certain group dependency that plays into control and violence. Islam is about 800 years younger than Christianity. Roll back the clock 800 years on Christians and you have what is, essentially, the same behaviours. Roll back another 800, Buddhist crusades and domination. There is a maturation process that comes with those types of systems and part of that, sadly, is extreme violence to show everyone how peaceful and loving your group is.
