Interesting piece. I do think that David goes to far. Many non-Arab Muslims have very district cultures. Also, the Wahabbis are hardly the first purifiers. There were probably earlier groups, bu the first hat I can think of were the al-Muwahhidun, who created the Almohad Caliphate.

Thanks rmlew.

The fire in Syria is the same firestorm burning in Iraq, in Turkey, in Lebanon and throughout much of the Muslim world. It has nothing to do with human rights or democracy. There is no revolution here. Only the eternal civil war.
