Yep. Just like the government of Iran, and like Shiite Twelver clerics.
They use idiotic theocracies, to control ignorant people.
That is the same in all religions. The only thing I object to is saying the majority of powers in human history don't believe the shit the peddle. I would say sure, many don't and see religion as useful to gaining power. But in human history the powers that rise for the most part do. I am not singling out Islam.
Trump I could care less if he believes or not. I don't think he gives a shit, even if he does believe, he is out for himself. Obama I do think believes but cares. I don't see Islam as any different. I don't even see China or India as any different knowing most humans have some sort of religion.
Religion is certainly useful in politics. Not just Islam but all. It can very easily be used to get the respective population to chase a utopia when utopias do not exist. I wont claim there are not well intended theists in politics, just that religion itself is a horrible way of conducting political compromise because religion is deeply personal to all sides.
