The west helped to establish the history necessary upon which to hang a &quot;cause&quot;, but these groups happened to be there and events unfolded such that it presented a nice pretext and a medieval interpretation of the scripture is but a vehicle.<p>It could be David Koresh in a place with a governmental vacuum and ardent followers.  People and movements like that can take advantage of historical circumstance where others don&#x27;t dare.<p>In other words there are places with worse history and oppression which haven&#x27;t taken advantage of circumstance to establish some kind of new world order, in this case based on medieval religious interpretation.<p>For example, do you see dalits revolting and turning things over to seek redress from  centuries of oppression?<p>Someone could set-up a narrative, there is a history they can readily use, but there isn&#x27;t a movement taking that grim path.
