. There's never been anyone to root for in the ME. The best we can do is root for the ultimate destruction of islam and all radical conservatism, though as Jesus noted, the poor will always be with you/us.
...and if you understand that, then you know we will always have the burden of the unevolved (aka conservatives) whether it be islam, xtians (not meaning Christians), commies, MAGA, fascists, trolls, Bubblers etc.
We must, despite all opposition and hardship, endeavor to persevere.
