   Modern Islam is basically what we in anthropology call a “Cargo Cult.”
   The original cargo cults were in the South Pacific. They were inspired when assorted peoples at a relatively primitive technological level got exposed to the immense wealth and power of America via the presence of the US military during WWII.
   They were basically incapable of understanding, much less believing, the Americans explanations of how they as a people came to possess such immense wealth.
   One reason that they found the explantions of the Americans less than believable, was that from direct experience they knew that the Americans were no SMARTER than they were. But the fact was they had all this really great stuff.
   The Age of Oil has produced something parallel in the Middle East.
   Oil gave the peoples of the Middle East access to the Cargo by giving them enough money to buy it. What it did not give them was the ability to make it themselves.
   As the decades have worn on, and they still can’t figure out how to produce Cargo themselves, they get more and more intense into their religious faith. Said faith tells them that it is the one, the true, and the ONLY answer.
   Now the Cargo Cult is trying to force the rest of the world into its faith, way of life, and general backwardness.
   I recall a statistic I read a few years ago.
   Over a period of recent years there were 400 patents filed by inventors in a group of Moslem nations.
   During the same period 20,000 patents were filed, buy South Korea alone.
