Re: ISIS Beheading and Crucifying Christians in Iraq
A writer for the international crisis group maintains!?!?! Well then, it must be true.... :roll:
Also, maintaining that because politics and religion were intertwined in the past in the region, they must be in the future is clearly ridiculous. Christianity was vitally important to European politics until quite recently, but secularism has risen in its place. But even so, it still rises up from time to time to play a more significant role. Then fade away to an extent, only to become more relevant again. That happens everywhere. Why is the Middle East different?
Islamism isn't new and its not going away-the artifact was apolitical Islam-a result of arab nationalism.
