“When you meet the unbelievers, strike the necks…” (Qur’an 47:4)

“When you gonna wake up, and strengthen the things that remain?” (Bob Dylan, echoing Revelation 3:2)

This is denial and willful ignorance on a scale so massive as to spell nothing less than a doomed society.

Slate: Climate change could have led to the rise of ISIL

Let’s see: we know that it couldn’t be that the jihadis think that Islamic texts and teachings justify violence and warfare against unbelievers (and apostates and heretics). And we know it couldn’t be that Sunnis in Iraq were never going to acquiesce to Shi’ite rule, and that ultimately their resentments boiled over into all-out jihad. We know that it couldn’t have anything whatsoever to do with Islam, right? So the problems in Iraq must then be attributable to global warming!
