Already, Islamic State has broad support in many cities there. And when they get there, it will once again come as a great surprise to everybody.

Within patriarchy, women no longer derive their value from their Creator, but from men - father, husband, and sons. Within patriarchy, a woman's value is gauged by counting her sons.
