Here is my question for Islamicists:

Why did the sect suppress Sufism? It was the one segment which I could truly cherish, given its emphasis on charity and good works.

Islam enjoyed its Golden Age as it absorbed the Greco-Roman wisdom, added some of its own, and secularized.

When the Brits divided up the region irrationally, they also awarded control irrationally, granting power to the Wahhabis, but ignoring true power where it should have resided.

Why do we have the radical segments grabbing so much power, whereas as Christianity matured, its softer versions grabbed political power.
