"There is an apocalyptic dimension to global Jihad. Jihadists believe they are engaged in a 'sacred task' to redeem the world via conquest. We hide our eyes while they do not hide their intentions."
Please meet Professor Richard Landes, a medieval historian who specializes in apocalyptic movements. He knows what he is talking about. Landes delivered a stellar speech earlier this week for the Institute for Global Anti-Semitism and Policy (ISGAP).
We sat around a table in a well-appointed room which serves as the ISGAP office in New York City. We were an attentive and appreciative audience.
Landes, who maintains several excellent websites (Second Draft and Augean Stables), is astounded by the global progressive Left's desire to embrace the "Other"; doing so proves their humanity. However, for the Western-embraced Jihadi, the "Other" (all infidels, the "wrong" kind of Muslims, apostates, homosexuals, etc.) must be "annihilated."
