I don't have anything really to add to this, but this is a particularly thorough (short-form) explanation of what makes modern political Islam particularly dangerous to what we consider civilization. The irony is that it is most dangerous to those who consider themselves Muslims.
They call themselves the Army of God (Jund Allah) and claim to be
fighting to unite mankind under the banner of Islam as “the only true
faith.” To achieve that goal, they believe they should revive the
Islamic Caliphate, the theocratic empire developed after the death of
Prophet Mohammed in 632 AD.
Adepts of the caliphate movement are present throughout the world, including the United States, under different labels. In many places, from the Philippines to Nigeria, passing by Thailand, India, Afghanistan and Syria, they have taken up arms to capture a chunk of territory as the embryo of their dream empire.
This is worth the 5-10 minutes it'll take you to read it.
