The Reason for the Jihadi Rush is the Fanatacism Gene the euphoria for blood and domination like the SS and mass Nazi Rallies .Its like a Gravitational Force Vortex.Its in almost everyone and is Extremely Dangerous.

obama absolutely tried to ride the moslem brotherhood to moderate democracy. It exploded in his face. Just like absorbed a false narrative from his palestinian collegemates, it bears no likeness to reality. Of course john kerry who may mean well is over his head, a dilettante with little record other than marrying a rich heiress. This is an excellent article for all to read.

Others don't have a clue. Obama kicked Mubarak to the curb the mb took over and now they are appealing to al sisi for help. If it wasn't mutually beneficial and necessary if I was al sisi I would tell Kerry to get lost. This problem is worldwide and soon Europeans and everyone else will wish they had the Jews .

Americans have never done cultural understanding well; the naive idea is that if Americans have made the cultural jump from their own countries of origin, why shouldn't people in these other countries change? Added to that, if Obama is not actually the Manchurian Candidate, he comes close. He consistently follows the fantasy lines of left liberal ideology, rather than the reality on the ground. Pray for a better pres the next time around, because this one is not going to improve.

I agree with many of these observations but they leave those who consider themselves to be civilised no less frustrated. We have not even begun to interpret the situation let alone change it. Israel, because its focus continues to be its own survival, can afford to treat everyone else as an actual or potential enemy. However, Israel is not the world. Other states have to deal one and other for all sorts of historical, economic and political reasons. Conflict is seldom between ideologies - it is between people or their supposed representatives. The fiercest battles have been fought between those who apparently share similar worldviews, while peace has often been forged between ideological enemies. The prevailing peace in Northern Ireland may not be perfect and may not last. However, it's pretty good for now and would not have come about had not the leaders of two implaccably - and bloodily - opposed religious/national ideologies not decided that people are more important. I realise the Middle East is immeasurably more complex which is why almost any military action will at best result in short-term victory by one side or another and at worst will perpetuate hostility. It may be hard, and seemingly impossible, but only when the major players heed the view of Churchill (often invoked as a hero by many talkbackers) that jaw-jaw is better than war-war can they even begin to see light at the end of the tunnel.

As history of Islamic world is reveal to us in general and in last 100 last year should be enough for world to perceive the fundamental of Arab world. In their total blindness and imperial mentality Western country interested for oil and fascination for Orientalism which suck into all the other civilization creating the euphory to present Islam as peaceful people/religion which is not the case. Anti-semitism which dominated and dominate Europe used Arabs 's hate to Jews to legitimize and politize this antisemitism, all the rest is symptoms of this philosophy, thus the response from Israel side is very disappointed. Mr .Yemini your article would be consider a copy of other articles wrouted in other different circumstances On same subject, as King Solomon wrote in Kohelet:Nothing new under the sun.

Western civilization can spend the next decade ( if we last that long ) Trying to contain and defeat the Jihadist forces of Islam. We can keep struggling in the quest for the Democratization of Islamic states which we already did and failed at after investing billions in money and blood. We can try to strengthen the so-called 'moderate branches of Islam, if there is one. They're either being cowed Into silence or winking and nodding to their Islamist brothers. We can continue to use drones and special forces and police actions but so far That hasn't been effective. The violent Jihadists reproduce faster than we can neutralize them. We can try making nice with the organizations of 'Soft-Jihadists' who advance Sharia and Jihad through usually peaceful and legal Means (like the Muslim Brotherhood Obama's been backing for The last six years) but that backfired. The problem of violent Islamic Jihad is more widespread and virulent today than it was even at the height of its glory days when Hordes of Jihadists Advanced on Spain and other parts of Europe, something happening again even at this moment. For Over 1400 years of Jihadist violence, of murder and enslavement, forced conversions, and abuse Of women and children ...and yet still In this modern day and age Islam remains more a retro-sixth century ideology of bloody conquest than anything resembling a religion of peace and harmony. The world can't wait for this backward cult of Muhammad to somehow 'reform' itself. Not when nuclear and chemical weapons of Jihad very soon will be within the reach Of religious psychopaths and end-of-days fanatics who yearn for martyrdom. When a beehive is burnt the surviving bees are disoriented And dispersed. Certainly there are many angry bees initially but then they lose their ability to sting and just Disappear and scatter into the countryside and soon die. There's a lesson in this. The hive is in Mecca. It's called the Kaaba. Or we can continue getting stung for the rest of history!

In ancient times in order to completely subjugate a conquered people the conquerors destroyed the temple of the conquered and installed in place the temple of their own God symbolizing the superiority over the defeated people's God. This is why Muslims destroy Churches, Buddhist/Hindu temples, Synagogues and even Mosques of the other Muslim sect whenever they have a chance. Islam is still a primitive belief that as long as their God's temple stands means that they are winning. This is why it is important to pulverize Mecca, Medina, Al Aksa in Jerusalem and the Holy sites of the Shia in Iraq. It will prove to them that their Allah is inferior and although pockets of resistance will remain over time they will die out and remaining Muslims will abandon Islam or convert to the other really peaceful religions.

the top of the hill, "We are not going to take it any more". This is never going to happen. They might as well wait for the cow to come home. Islam is based on kill or convert and no moderate is going to challenge this code. The best that can be hoped for is to get some of them to be spies on their own and tell us what we need to know to degrade and defeat them.

There's no such thing as a moderate Muslim. Either you're a Muslim, with all the violence, and immorality that goes with it (as written in the Koran), or you're not a Muslim at all. That's it. There's no middle ground. That's why Islam is one of the two scourges of planet earth. Socialism is the other one.
