I have read the Koran (only in English, I'm afraid), and I work with
Muslims in the Middle East. This is the best article so far written about
ISIS. It confirms everything I've been told. And for further insight, if
you don't know much about how we got to this point, read the magisterial
"Lawrence IN Arabia" by Scott Anderson. I don't think Wood in his Atlantic
article mentioned the Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916, which divided the
Ottoman Empire chop chop at will between Britain and France. Revenge has
been long in coming.

Oops, I just noticed this is not a Friam discussion, but WedTech. I think
its more appropriately on Friam, WedTech being more "local" and
"technical". Forgive the cross post please.
Friam: This is a discussion on a recent, quite serious, Atlantic post on
ISIS which seems authentic.

I'd like any of us who have actually read the Koran, along with the
prophet's other writings, could comment on the article.
