My comment on the WaPo thread:
The jihadists of The Islamic State are just following Islamic doctrine to the letter. The reason that “moderate Muslims” rarely speak up is their own fear of being labeled as “tafkir” or apostate to the true teachings of Allah and his messenger Mohammed.
Islam is inherently unreformable, because any reformers would be at risk of beheading or even crucifixion by the literalists. The best that we can expect from Islamic societies is the periodic leadership of enlightened moderates who do not follow the letter of Sharia law.
But when they die or are overthrown by devout Koran-abiding Muslims, we are back to the same original 1,400 year old conquest formula: kill the men, rape the women. Since Mohammed is considered “the perfect man” in Islam, and since the Koran is the literal word of Allah, not one verse can be removed. Mohammed personally beheaded 100s of captives and raped their widows on the bloody ground. Well, since Mohammed is the perfect man, beheading captives and raping infidel girls and women can never be erased from Islam.
Read my essay, “The Islamic Jihad Conquest Formula” to see the truth about how Islam took over much of the known world in the century following Mohammed’s death, and why the same cruel barbarity is inherent in Islam today.
Roger that, Matt. It’s a “religion” that’s incompatible with civilization, especially once it reaches a critical mass of a percentage of the population.
That’s why “moderate,” aka unfaithful, dictators are in our best interests throughout the Muslim world. It’s only if a dictator doesn’t take that abortion of a religion seriously, and is really only interested in lining his pockets, that we won’t end up with another Iran. The “Arab Spring” has therefore been an unmitigated disaster in terms of our national security interests.

Excellent! We need to spread the word, and pull the ostriches’ heads out of the sand.
