Bret Stephens: Islam and the Radical West

"We’ve become lazy in our thinking about Islam and the West. Whether the Islam practiced by al Qaeda or ISIS is “radical” or merely traditional isn’t the question. It’s whether the West can recognize that the moral nihilism of today’s Jihadi Johns is the logical outgrowth of the moral relativism that is the default religion of today’s West."

The answer: NO. 

There will be no recognition of the torrid romance between Islamic nihilism and secular, leftist nihilism.
