There are loads of Jesus freaks with their what would jesus do schtick, and yet none of them are on a crusade to recreate the period of his reign. There's not a single Christian nation forcing biblical era laws such as stonings.
The article is speaking towards a mentality which goes far beyond beheadings, and it's certainly idealism to roll back the clock irregardless if the dark ages is the most apt period. The progress their fighting isn't democracy, or modern evolution or sophistication - it's about human rights, coerced conversions, mandatory submission to their religious dogma, and pure racism. They haven't dropped their Atomic bomb or succeeded in a Holocaust ... unless you're paying attention to what's happening in Darfur.... but do we really have to wait until they pull off one of the greatest crimes against humanity before we can say "beheadings are barbaric and challenge our civilization" ?
DO you really think people who talk about Islamicists are really saying "Hey man, the holocaust was a-ok, and the Atomic bomb was cool too - after all look at what Muslims are doing in the world."? That's the reverse of your logic, and both are pretty child like.
