So far, they have been a colossal failure. They will never succeed anyway. These people don't understand the difference between sectarianism and secularism.

That is the problem. They way overstate their support by the public. They have always been on the fringe and always will be.

There is no turning back the clock to an imaginary time. They can try to force it, but the pushback will be too great, especially among women, since women are the primary targets.
