Hard to see how some one can be listed as radical ... in a element as radical as IS is! But that is what made this some interesting reading!

A truly fascinating read...sure dispels any doubts that who we're dealing with are far from a bunch of low-IQ conscripts screeching mindlessly into the wind, doesn't it?
My general impression is that once you define the "radical" as "normal"...anything that questions that logic becomes suddenly "radical". In this sense, it's hard to say what moral "line" members of IS take on any number of issues; though my feelings are that there are inherent weaknesses within that could be exploited if we devoted a bit of time to it, and were willing to go "down the rabbit hole" a bit.
Another very important facet of this (in my opinion) is comparing our own, Western religious ideologies...and looking for ways they've evolved over the centuries in an effort to more fully comprehend where Wahhabism fits into the discussion.
