In standard western Armies, one of the goals is to train the troops to eventually become the leaders. Some small-unit training included pretending all the Officers and non-Coms were killed, and YOU had to form a defense line (I did this a couple of times when I was in the National Guard). This trained even the lowliest private to develop some leadership and initiative skills.
This is impossible in Arab armies. Senior officers are terrified that their junior officers and non-coms will learn enough to eventually overthrow them. Thus, they treat their enlisted like dirt and don't expect them to show any intelligence or initiative (As an aside, this has helped Americans in wars because Authoritarian countries can't comprehend that OUR Enlisted men and women are often as smart as our officers and Non-coms).
Not surprised that our trained and equipped Iraqi allies fled when ISIS first attacked them.

ISIS seems to be doing rather well and they’re muslims - maybe their training methods works better?
And as for muslims lack of intelligence - they seem to be doing rather well taking over the world for such imbeciles.
