The calamity of ignorance

I believe, and no doubt the experts will disagree, that the IS will consolidate its authority over the next few months, or give it even a year or two, whilst expanding broadly across the Muslim world.

It may not be a contiguous state, with bits scattered throughout the Middle East, Asia and Africa, but in time will spread to become a legitimate state following the examples and tactics of Islam's founder and its early Caliphs.

The West, through willfully blinkered leaders and media, are doing civilisation no favours by adopting pc strictures to keep the peace by forcing their own ignorane upon the people.

Fools and politicians remain blissfully unaware, that future generations will scratch their heads in disbelief that the most advanced civilisation in the history of the world so eagerly capitulated to the most violent, evil, and backward.
