Ironically the Muslims of the Middle East, like the Chinese, were chosen by ds to be their unfortunate geopolitical pawns.
Islam can be a beautiful religion, as seen in the spirituality of the Sufis, in offshoots derived from Islam like the Baha'is, and yes, even in many of the ordinary beliefs and practices of Islamic people.
Along with Judaism and Christianity, they are 'People of the Book' and kindred with them both. Abrahamic brothers. Their scriptures are full of wonder and praise for God/Allah and God's vast universe/creation.
[By the way, someone has observed that across major systems of belief, the extended 'ah' sound is found in their names for God and the sacred:
'Ahhh-brahh-hahhm, All-ahhh, Yeshu-ahhh, Buddh-ahhh, Yahhh-weh, Brahh-mahh, Krishn-ahhh, Shiv-ahhh, Bahh-haull-ahhh'. Even Ahhmon-Rahhh, and Isis: Ahhh-set'. A syllable of bliss, contentment, opening to revelation, peace.]
Yes, within their spiritual books is also a strain of militant hatred of other faiths.
However that non-divine admixture is found in the Bible too. People attributing to God even such 'commands' as 'dashing the heads of enemies' babies against the rocks', to make sure and eradicate them completely - i.e. genocide in the service of God.
Abraham 'believed' [in error] that God actually wanted him to sacrifice his son Isaac, as the followers of Moloch practiced.
But at the point of obeying what he sincerely believed God wanted, Abraham received the grace of a much deeper revelation and understanding.
People FORGET that (unlike more recently), during the mid-20th century a lot of the Middle East was blossoming with western-style values and ideals. Moving well out of the 'Ottoman Empire/caliphate' mentality. People were free to express their faith however they saw fit, from strict observance to urbane liberality.
But the cia/ds deliberately set out to undermine all that, by deliberately polarizing Islamic people into a far more fundamentalistic version of Islam, that emphasized fanaticism, subjugation, and jihad. They propped up chosen Imams/Ayatollahs who would promote 'Militant Islam'.
This longterm infiltration successfully produced a suitable new 'enemy' for the west. And frankly, they were trying to run the same psyop in America - to fundamentalize Christian believers (not in a good way, i.e. 'honoring the fundamentals of faith'). Ds deliberately worked to 'shepherd' believers into a more barbaric version of faith, emphasizing just/righteous revenge.
After 9/11 for instance, it was common to hear Muslims being called 'towel-heads' and much worse. Hatred and contempt. Just as the ds warmongers intended.
So as to Q and various understandings re- what the spiritual nature of things is, ds clearly does want us divided. And Q is a force for liberation and unity.
Like that Klingon leader said to Kirk in an old Star Trek episode, where a ball of energy was inciting human/Klingon conflict: 'We need no urging to hate humans! Only a fool fights in a burning house.'
