Hopefully I will find the time to deconstruct that article. Suffice it to say, for now, that I think it demonstrates a willful blindness to the realities on the ground, and that, speaking from my religious conscience, it is important to seize God back from those who would abuse his name to justify horrors.

The writer is correct that Holy War is what is happening.
The writer is deluded to imagine either that it isn't already well under way or that anyone has the luxury of sitting it out.
