The Ottoman Caliphate was very stable, but it was a shit hole. The same shit that was happening then is happening now.
- Civil Rights only held by males
- Clan leaders rule over the majority of people in the region
- Still legal and promoted to beat your wife, marry young girls and prevent the advancement of any Liberties for women
- Gays still be killed for being gay
- Non-Muslim Religions still being persecuted and killed
- Non-Muslim historical treasures still being destroyed
- majority of the population poor
- Slavery still exists, with slave markets
- kidnapping still viewed as a means of revenue production
- still raping juvenile girls and boys
- still widespread Muslim on Muslim violence and war
There's more, but that should suffice.
