Maybe the reason that the Muslim world is so fucked up is because there is no Caliph (Muslim Pope) to lead the Muslims into the modern era. Caliphate was abolished by Ataturk in 1924. There was no caliph until last year when ISIS declared their leader as the new caliph. Pope Francis is working hard on the image of the Catholic Church. Muslims lack such leader. Otherwise, there is no unification of conflicting judgments and all imams and muftis are declaring their own fatwas. What do you guys think? Do you think it's a coincidence that Muslims don't have leader and they are so misguided?
I think leaders and people who believe in things based on faith and arguments from authority over objective reality are a bad combination.
