Islam didn't caused current MENA stage
The sad true is that Islam is just the purest form of MENA people spirit.
The region has been always a backward region with barbarian customs, a barbarian mentality in which the warlord of turn, be it Sumerian, Assyrian, Egyptian, Jewish, Persian, Arabs or Ottomans, used the most brutal ways to enact violence on the conquered.
Acts such as the use of extreme violence, mass rape, war pedophilia, mass castrations of young men for sale as slaves, dismemberment of defeated enemies, beheadings of rival kings, mass kidnapping of women for sale as slaves in harems, etc., which Westerners try to associate with Islam to whitewash the image of Judaism and the pagan Mena, have always been present in the region.
You find them in the Biblical, Sumerian, Babylonian, Assyrian, Egyptian, Hittite, and Persian chronicles. The ancient Greeks were horrified by the rumors they received from the Assyrians and Babylonians, and even more so by the cruelty of Persia after the Ionian revolt, where thousands of innocent civilians were raped, castrated, and executed en masse.
