I was watching on a documentary on the SS on Nat Geo or Smithsonian. I was thinking how similar the ideology of ISIS is with the Nazis. Both want to revive a past that never existed. Both want to eliminate the evolution of civilization and society from that mythical past. The Nazia wanted to replace Christianity with a perverted form of the Nordic pagan religion. ISIS wants to eliminate all the developments in Islamic thought and ideology. People talk about ISIS wants to go back to the Medieval era. If that was true that would be an improvement over the current state as Arab civilization was the most advanced in terms of philosophy, medicine, science, etc. A Catholic nun who visited Cordoba in Spain during its height described it as "Jewel of the World". The Arabs burst out of the Arabian peninsula and liked what they saw so they tried to imitiate it. But ISIS wants nothing to do with that.

“My first book was called Among The Believers “
I was trying to remember the title of this book just this weekend. The ‘Believers’ are the world’s Muslims living in Muslim countries circa 1980, when the revolution in Iran was the first indication that trouble was brewing. Good book, prophetic even.

You need to see Glenn Becks presentation of the Armies of Armageddon from last week. The links presented by Beck are stunning.

All the fools who hated the United States and dreamed of the end of the Pax Americana,
all the Americans who worked to destroy the health and power of the USA,
all who sat idly by as mushy-headed Leftists lead America into a downward spiral of decadence,
all the fools who believed the propaganda of the Left,
who reveled in the decay of Western Civilization,
all the fools who scoffed at the warnings,
all who preferred to indulge in the pleasures of decadence rather than face the truth--
Fools all of them! They are getting what they asked for.
There is a karma that grants the wishes of fools!

If that was true that would be an improvement over the current state as Arab civilization was the most advanced in terms of philosophy, medicine, science, etc.Arab civilization around 1000 was roughly on a par with civilizations in Byzantium, India, China, Japan, etc.; not "the most advanced in the world."
It just looked that way to people from Western Europe, which at the time was really, really backward. And not aware of the others, with the exception of Byzantium.
ISIS, to the extent it knows what it wants, intends to return to the time of Mohammed and the Rashidun, the first four "Rightly Guided Caliphs." To most really fundamentalist Sunni Muslims, Islam started going downhill with the murder of the last of them in 661.

V.S. Naipaul is a fine writer, a conservative, and is strongly pro-American. In the miserable days immediately after the 9/11 attack, he wrote an opinion column that was unreservedly sympathetic to the U.S. and expressed complete confidence that we would rally the world against Islamic terrorism and hunt down and kill Bin Laden.

Imagine a world in which the president of the United States is “sympathetic” to Islamic terrorism, who aids, abets and excuses Islamic outrages, and never misses a chance to denigrate the state of Israel.
