Andrew Bostom at PJ Media points out that despite the brutality and barbarity of ISIS, there was something even worse than ISIS and it happened within the last 100 years:
Why is this significant? Because we are about to see a reemergence of the Ottoman caliphate in the next 1 or 2 decades. My guess is it will be in place before 2023, the year the Ottoman Empire was fully collapsed and secular Turkey was born. I believe I’ve read that Erdogan wants to have it established by then.
But even if that never happens, the point is that ISIS isn’t as brutal as it gets, and that’s scary.
