My intention with writing this post was not to discuss religious extremism itself. If you just want to talk about religious extremism there are a lot of places to do it, including other topics on this very site. This topic is only about assuming the top leadership of isis to be rational people (who just abuse religious extremism for their own goals), what could their main objective be?
How do you think an ideological turing test works without discussing ideology?
The standard usage of
rationalin these quarters happens to be about maximizing an utility function. There no reason why you can't be religious and be effective at maximizing the utility function dictated by your religion.
