Unfortunately, the US has whitewashed this and gone along with the fiction that Islam is a religion of peace.
Islam is as varied as Christianity. Unfortunately, it seems the radical elements are gaining popularity due to a kind of self-reinforcing view of the world among the population.
If this trend does not stop, then the world will be partitioned into an ugly Islam-vs-nonIslam dichotomy. I fear Suicidel Ninja Soviet-like states. At least the Soviets wanted to survive in *this* world. It is going to feel odd to miss the Soviets as enemies.
