Now that the uneducated masses are falling for reinstatement of the political thread, it's possible the jihad will be supressed. It's a shame y'all supposedly smart people don't get it yet. The Neo-Despot will still be in power.

I don't think we are anywhere there yet. Most people either don't care or actively oppose restoring it, and even if they supported it, I doubt that would make a difference. The current despot doesn't care who leaves.
