” IS’s soldiers are reminded that the greatest commandment is taqwa, roughly ‘piety’ …”
That reminds me of Ayman al-Zawahiri’s prominently-displayed, plum-sized prayer bump (and his hunger for absolute operative control, leading him to assassinate competitors inside al Qaida.)
It also reminds of Søren Kierkegaard: ”Christianity is not a doctrine to be taught, but rather a life to be lived.”
