Hey Blitz, mind if I try to take a stab at this.
Maybe look at it from an American perspective. As a society really they are about the level we were right when we settled America. If you think about all the horrible things we used to do like the puritans killing witches, all the killing of indians who we painted as savages. All of those people used religion as an excuse. Before that you have the spanish inquistition, more recently you have religion as a backdrop to slavery, and the persicution of gay people. Hell even Hitler used it to talk shit about the jewish people.
And today there are some very fringe sections of "christianity" in america that causes people to bomb abortion clinics and killing people.
Its pretty much the same as them, except we have about a 1000 year head start since the eurpoean christians decided to go apeshit on them in the crusades, and the roman greek wars, ect. So when thinking about the middle east as a society, and the crazy shit that goes on there just realize where we have came from and compare if it is really that much worse.
I don't think how they are treating people is that much different than we would have 600 years ago, just they get the benefit of the higher technology that the societies that all worked together to create has brought to them.
Jesus, maybe I shouldnt be smoking before i post, but think about this.
How in the hell can we really expect them to be able to maintain the same tech levels that we can? I mean seriously think about how much more money we make than they do. And how much something as simple as electricity to pay for costs us. How can we expect them to maintain a powerplant system that it would take them to just be able to live like us even if they could afford it.
So I kind of am thinking I can add to my view that it will not take them nearly as long to get to where we are currently as a society maybe a couple generations, so like 50 years or so, because as they become able to maintain a powerplant structure and have more stable electricity to the point that having the same business office system we have they will be able to get a lot more variety of the other things we take for granted in our society, and that would add to more, ect. So really they have a lot of mindless violence to get through before then.
I imagine, they will escalate from dictators (Old english kings that beheaded all their bitches) and princes (all the old nasty dukes and shit that did some fucked up shit like in the blue face paint mel gibson movie) to crazy politicians that were elected in (Like Hitler types but we will be so far ahead they will be inconsiquential really, and there wasnt that kind of dominating military that we have over everyone now). To regular people like we have now so that they get called a nazi for something as simple as allowing tax cuts of two percent for only money you make after $250k (meaning they lose a grand total of 6 cents more than before for every dollar past 250k).
I say we just give these folks some time, and realize what we came from was almost identical, it was just we are in the drivers seat and the kids in the back are being kinda bratty at the moment.
