An endless war....

Exactly. The war which has existed from the time of Muhammed until the present time is a phenomenon of what can only be called intrensically evil. Like a virus unleashed into the human psyche, it constantly morphs, changing from generation to generation. Presenting under different names at different times, until today the names are "Legion". ISIS, ISIL, Hamas,Hizbulla, Buko-haram, etc,etc, all which follow the teachings of a 6th century camer trader, that 'married' a child of 8, and most likely suffered from severe suicidal depression, and /or mania claimed to hear the voice of a tribal god, and created a belief system, based on the idea of propagation by force, with attendant political, social, and legalistic components. An act of genius, which has developed into perpetual warfare, both between sects of believers and so called infidels. It has captured the imagination of other political movements from Nazis to modern day Liberalism.
