5. Kurdish, Sunni, and Shia tribes that had been killing each other for time immemorial (?)

I am not comfortable with that sort of messaging. It reads like dismissive, RW, supremist projection. My impression was that there was a common world of Islam spanning Northern Africa, southern Europe, and the Middle East that did function and trade together...for time immemorial.

(For that matter, the French and Germans have been killing each other for time immemorial. )
