The origins of ISIS 12:57 - May 23 with 1605 viewsSteve_M

For anyone interested and who didn't see it, I recommend looking for last week's Channel 4 documentary.

It focuses on the ideology behind the organisation, not so much on it's origins and the bit on radicalising young (mainly) men in the West was almost an afterthought. Still very good.

The problem with Curtis is he tries to fit disparate events into a single narrative a little too neatly. There is plenty to consider, and that I agree with, in his arguments but I'm not wholly convinced.

It sounded like there was a nice little programme on R4 this lunchtime about the rise of fundamentalist islamic terrorism in it's current form - lots on bin laden and the saudis. I only caught bits of it, but it sounded worth a listen if it's on catch-up.

Poll: Do you think Pert is key to all of this?
