Oh dear…
Once again the people who should be leading us out of the environmental crisis are instead making matters worse. Better that large segments of the Muslim population should die fighting each other in water wars than that the hyper-puritanical tendency should be restrained.

Willow, translating jahilyya as “ignorance” is sillie orientalism.
Jahilyya is based on the root jahl, or “the uncontrollable impetuous jumping of an unschooled young horse”.
The origins of arabic are filled with organic metaphors based on the cultural authorities of the time….the bedouin na’qaat or warrior-poets.
