It is Islam, a different civilization whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power.

With the exception of WASP America, I have not encountered any culture which is not convinced of its own superiority, and which does not seek to expand its power relative to other cultures. Islam goes about this in an exceptionaly bloodthirsty and barbaric way, which is what caused the current war.

The point was about the obsession with the inferiority of their power dude. Being convinced of the superiority of your culture and trying to spread it about is, as you point out, a fairly universal trait. It’s the inferiority complex that’s more uniquely dangerous. And on-topic — since the author is basically claiming that it’s the guys who are obsessed that their penises are too small who beat their women. Which is not the same explanation that I gave at all — but no reason that we aren’t both right and that some of the jihadis are perverts and some have inferiority complexes and some both.
