He is right. It is nihilism, with an Islamic Justification. They really do want to return to the "pure" life of the dark ages. The Arabic countries were ahead of the west in the sciences and Art, until the scourge of Islam laid waste to their civilizations. They have never recovered. Every country they take over slides into the pit of the dark ages with feudal warlords, slavery, polygamy and abject poverty. Any schooling beyond the third grade is squelched for the "higher learning" of the Koran. They fear any higher schooling because it causes the people to question the rule of the religious leaders. Europe came out of the dark ages with the separation of Church and State to remove the scepter of God from the hands of men. America improved on that by founding a Godly nation with the scepter of God in the hands of the people.
That by the way is no longer true for the State has adopted the religion of Atheism with the invention of humanism as God. That caused the people who held the scepter to believe They were god. Big mistake. In our pride we slept while the State stole the scepter back from our hands. The recent reinterpretation of the law that the State shall not infringe the rights of worship of the people to Separation of Church and State has allowed the scepter of god back into the hands of the State. Now the State makes laws on the rights of worship on a group by group basis. America is no longer free, and has fallen quite far into the pit of the dark ages in the last generation. We are dumbing down our schools for the very same reasons that the Islamic Clerics did. We just have Humanist Clerics like Hildabeast it takes a village instead of Islamic ones. We no longer have the moral vision to stand up to Islam, so Islam has risen again. It was the Christians who defeated Islam last time. Who has the vision to do it now? I am sure Hildabeast will hold hands with them and sing Kumbyia, Just like Bush is doing.
