Isis is reaching out to fill the void wherever a state of “chaos” or “savagery” (at-tawahoush) exists, as in central Asia and Africa. And where there is "insufficient chaos in the lands of the infidel, called “The House of War”, it seeks to create it––as in Europe."
Interesting article by Scott Atran in the Guardian. The only way to 'defeat' the movement will be to present a viable social alternative to ordinary people. One that is not accomplished by the heavy handed importation of capitalistic constructs via military conduits (see Iraq & Afghanistan).
If social anthropologists, artists, and dreamers were involved in creation of a new concept of the world based on environmental sanity, gross national happiness, and economic parity principles, we might have a (long term) chance.
Naturally, winners and losers, as such, would no longer exist. There would no longer be superpowers––capital wealth would be shared, money used as a conduit for peace n' harmony. Realpolitik would deal with the actual issues that matter. And yes, developers such as Trump––and the well-educated, money backed Wall Street deceivers––would not be allowed to pull their "me, me, me" charades. This is what I mean by fabric.
