An interesting and truly frightening read. One must take the time to read the entire article @ http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2015/02/what-isis-really-wants/384980/ as well as the source blog @ http://www.bookwormroom.com/2015/02...sis-read-graeme-woods-what-isis-really-wants/ Nearly all the Islamic States decisions adhere to what it calls, on its billboards, license plates, and coins, the Prophetic methodology. Obama and his minions continue to deny this and the question is: Why?

Part of it was just the standard sledgehammer approach: smash up what you dont like... https://www.jacobinmag.com/2015/02/noam-chomsky-interview-jacobin/
I read that article today and was much impressed. Unfortunately, there is very little that I find to read that I feel has actually benefited my understanding of a subject, but this article I think, has really broadened my mind on ISIS in particular and Islam in general. It's extremely enlightening.
