In my opinion, if we tear away religious sensibilities, it is clear that Mohammed's religion is a mish-mash of Gnosticism, Nestorian and Orthodox Christianity merged with Zoroastrian dualism and arabic paganism. To me its also clear that the Arabs are powerful when united, bt that has always been short-lived (remember T.E. Lawrence's speech "Unless the arabs are united, you will always be a small people")
Plus the clear appeal of islam to warrior men in its doctrines and living

(ObamaÂ’s dislike of Assad is not based on AssadÂ’s brutality but that he isn't a jihadi Moslem)
