This part was very interesting.

The question is are we going to roam the globe from one hopeless battle to another trying to save a Muslim population until someone else, and then someone else come and reap the reward?"

In other words, there will be a government that is secular and doesn't rule by the rules of Sharia. He says that this cycle need to end and that we have to think about another front where we can serve Islam and basically resurrect the spirit of jihad within the Muslim world.


Paranoia over the belief they will be continually persecuted lead to the need to institutionalize their religion. I hadn't read anything illuminating that link before.
Wow, what an amazing insight.

I think that's probably more or less specific to Al Qaeda.

Isn't ISIS ideology based in similar justification or interpretation of some of the Koran?
The same Salafist teachings...

but the religious luminaries who provide them their Islamic "cred" are probably different at this point.
