As bad as the Mullahs are in Iran (and they are bad) they seem sane compared to the jihadis out of the Sunni Gulf be they ISIS or al-Qaeda or the Muslim Brotherhood.

You do know that many of them belong to a branch of Shia Islam that believes it is their duty to start a Nuclear war so that the 12th imam (the Mahdi) will return and bring world peace united under Islam, don't you?

The ISIS whack jobs will never be within arms reach of nuclear weapons, but those Doomsday worshiping Ayatollahs will.

In the long run, the Kooks in Iran are a bigger threat to the world than the Kooks in ISIS.

I call bullshite on that. That is like people telling me the NWO is out to reduce the global population via the Georgian guidestones and with less proof to back it up.

PS: The Sunnis have the Madhi as well and Pakistan is a Sunni Muslim nation that backs the Taliban and al_Qaeda and has the bomb. So do some pondering.

The Mahdi is frequently mentioned in Sunni hadith as establishing the caliphate. Among Sunnis, some believe the Mahdi will be an ordinary man.

The Sunni ISIS already think they have the Mahdi and it's time for the apocalypse.

he mistake some make when viewing ISIS is to see it as a rational actor. Instead, as the magazine documents, its ideology is that of an apocalyptic cult that believes that we are living in the end times and that ISIS' actions are hastening the moment when this will happen.

The name of the Dabiq magazine itself helps us understand ISIS' worldview. The Syrian town of Dabiq is where the Prophet Mohammed is supposed to have predicted that the armies of Islam and "Rome" would meet for the final battle that will precede the end of time and the triumph of true Islam. In the recent issue of Dabiq it states: "As the world progresses towards al-Malhamah al-Kubrā, ('the Great Battle' to be held at Dabiq) the option to stand on the sidelines as a mere observer is being lost." In other words, in its logic, you are either on the side of ISIS or you are on the side of the Crusaders and infidels.
