there are radicalised movements in any number of places.
the causes that lay behind them are as varied as the places, as the situations.
that they are in some cases drawing on similar options, and probably are elements in a cassette exchange network (you can formalize sending casettes around as a network, but that does not imply that it is centrally directed).
the unification of these movements into a single thing is a construct.
THAT is the point i am making: it's not so hard to grasp. geez.
will: just so you know, i tried to make a separation between stuff that you and charlatan and seaver had posted (mojo came late to this, so is excluded from what my post today are about--nice to see you, btw, mojo...) and the posts by ustwo (and a few others) that recycle the worthless huntington thesis.
i'll just repeat it here--i think that the problems that the thread ran into in trying to say anything singular about "radical islam" demonstrates what i am arguing--and besides, the other main argument was that this situation was ABOUT THE SUDAN.
i have objected to the generalizing drift in this thread from the beginning.
i think it was, is, and remains entirely unjustified.
i should add that i understand the temptation to do it--and that is behind the objections as well.
anyway...
