re: #90 Dr Lizardo

Very true.

Many of the “jihadis” are of the vanguardist mentality. They seek to purify the Ummah from “innovations” and “immorality”. They declare that Islam is dead, and that they alone represent the true path of the faith, that they are the seed of its revival. And woe and betide to any who dare to dispute their self-appointed status as “saviors”.

And what is their goal? A utopian fantasy-land that has never existed in the Islamic past - despite their assertions - and one that is less a Paradise than it is Hell on earth. They will be the new masters of this utopia, the arbiters of what is right and wrong. Such arrogance is mind-boggling; such deliberate blindness to the destruction and suffering they’ve caused is breathtaking.

Sounds remarkably like the Christian nuts we have here. Thus my continued remarks that Fischer and others are not against the Islam extremists for their desired results - but simply that they won’t be under their control in implementing them.
