But Barnett just blows it all off. Doesn't exist as far as he's concerned. Islam is just the same as Communism and Maoism to him. He expects Iranians to stop believing in it just like the Communists stopped believing. He doesn't get it that Islam is already 14 centuries old and has staying power. This is something else Barnett misses. “The universalism of Islam, in its all-embracing creed, is imposed on the believers as a continuous process of warfare, psychological and political, if not strictly military. . . . The Jihad, accordingly, may be stated as a doctrine of a permanent state of war, not continuous fighting.” ~ Majid Khadduri
