The glowing orb in this picture, taken while our Dear Leader was visiting his BFFs in Saudi Arabia, is a decoration in a new center in Riyadh. The center is intended to combat extremist ideology.
Most politics has those incredible paradoxes, the kinds which any observer from outer space would immediately place one of her twenty-one fingers on and then shake her three heads with great sadness, trying to understand them. In this case the paradox is why the country* which is the home of the most extremist religious ideology in Islam would now build a center to combat its own messages to the rest of the world.
After all, the petro-dollars have financed Wahhabist mosques all over the world, including in Europe, and it is the ur-conservative and extremely literal Wahhabist interpretations of the Quran which the terrorists in ISIS, for example, have partly used to create their own theological justifications for terror attacks, slavery, the wholesale killing of those whose religious beliefs differ, and the extreme oppression of women.
But then similar paradoxes abound elsewhere, too. The United States is not exactly innocent in that respect, either.
Still, it's imperative to address the long-term negative effects of religious extremism which is rearing its ugly head not just in Islam but also in Christianity and Hinduism.
This is particularly crucial for the equality of women and men, because extremists/literalists always base their views of women's proper roles on what ancient nomadic herding societies thought those were, and then desire to make them today's norms. Indeed, one might even argue that the rise of religious fundamentalism may be a partial response to women's increasing rights.
