The Mohammedian world would make a great Star Trek episode. "Mr Spock, these people have been stuck in the 7th century, see how they embrace death instead of life, slavery instead of freedom, conflict instead of peace, surely they cannot survive" "Captain, while cruel and barbaric, it is perfectly logical." "Terrorism is a logical and effective way of expanding their ideology" "But Spock, where is the humanity,the search for goodness in mankind, the empathy for others?" "Captain, it is you who is illogical"
