Anyone else notice that just about all the wars and battles raging on the planet today are tribal? There aren't any wars over Nationalism or Religion or even Ideology raging away in the darker corners of the world, what we have is purely ethnic tribalism where people not quite like the other people are trying to exterminate them for being just that little bit different.
No more communists, nationalists, christians etc seeking domination, nope, it's all just ethnic studies. Oh wait, I can be everything I own that modern ethnic studies courses never covered a single case of tribal warfare and probably still teach that all properly colored people get along just fine with each other and it's just those other colored people that are bad, or they don't have any vowels in their names, or they put BBQ sauce on meatloaf. Real threats to humanity.
Oh yes, I know, some will now say, what about islam and the simple answer is, look more closely. islam is a tool that any fool can use and not some unifying force that makes a united front against a common enemy. The tribes who submitted to islam don't have common enemies, they are their own worst enemies.

Religion is just a variation on tribalism.
