The term "Gangster Islam" has a nice ring of reality to it.
The parts of the article which describe the deterioration of the "leadership" are particularly interesting.

What an Appropriate Term, Gangsta Islam, That is exactly what it is. More in common with Mafioso. Like the Human Candles we used to have here in Kansas City, River Bottoms. Same Mentality, Same Style.

I concur with you COL Ted Mc that "Gangster Islam" may fit well with the radical Muslims who follow the Wahhabi doctrine to the deaths of others. However it is not a strong enough term for al Qaeda, al Nusra Front, Boko Haran, and ISIS which are more closely aligned to Nazi Islam in the tradition of the grand Mufti of Jerusalem.

LTC Stephen F. - Colonel; I'm OK with "Fascist Islam" but I'm not so sure about linking it to the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem (as an analogy for Muslims). In context the Grand Mufti was an Arab leader who saw Christians and Jews as attempting to take over Arab lands (he wasn't wrong on that either). Admittedly the Grand Mufti was an anti-Jewish bigot, but he wasn't much keener of Christians or other Muslims who didn't subscribe to his narrow version of Islam.

COL Ted Mc - I am only attempting to link the self styled Grand Mufti of Jerusalem to the Wahhabi doctrine Muslims of al Qaeda, al Nusra Front, Boko Haran, and ISIS. After the Grand Mufti fled Jerusalem and went to Baghdad to stir them up against the British and convince them to align with the Nazis who were in Syria at the time. He met with mixed success in Iraq.

LTC Stephen F. - Colonel; OK, agreed. The Grand Mufti was quite similar to the current leadership of Daesh - and probably represented about the same percentage of Muslims.
