I got the feeing from those articles that the authors took the tack that the Atlantic said that because these guys are true believers, and that their motives are grounded in historic precedent, that they are the 'real' Muslims. I don't think that was the point of the original piece. I think the point was that so long as they're deriving their beliefs from scripture and history, that they have to be thought of as 'true Muslims' but not necessarily the only true Muslims. I another note, I heard Ted Cruz on the radio the other day bashing Obama for refusing to refer to ISIS as 'Islamic' fighters. I almost had a car accident when I found myself thinking that he had a point. In what bizarro world are we living that I can think Ted Cruz has a point? I felt shame.
