I wouldn't claim that people in the ME were on the same page. The only uniting influence would be the supremacy of the Caliph, but often peoples there only gave lip service to it when it suited them.

@ritheshofficial Stockholm Syndrome is the human way to handle stressful situations. We label it as a horrid thing, but it's something our ancestors depended on to stay sane in a cruel world. If our modern societies are faced with immense hardships, we will likely depend on it as well. In many ways, it's human. Like it or not, it's there for a reason.
