Brilliant article and explanation why most people in the West do not understand IS. It is born of Islam even if many Muslims disown it and it has a prophetic schema worked out that stands very much at odds with the "Left Behind" eschatology of the Christian world or more Mainstream Christian views of the end times. These guys will fight to the death and still remain hopeful. You do not beat organisations like this with Political Correctness and good intentioned but ultimately hollow religious dialogue. Obama is not the man for the job on this one even if the USA itself should not be too worried about being absorbed into the Caliphate.
