I found it informative. But it is difficult to discover what is really going in the fundamentalist religious mind and culture while I try to avoid both in my personal evolution.

The apocalyptic mind sees utopia through dystopia and a supernatural intervention. It seems that they want to prove the existence of God by forcing prophesy's hand. God's book says he'll show up when X happens, so lets go ahead and make X happen, and hope he shows up as promised and rescue us from our stupidity. Show us your cards, God. In the meantime, so much is killed, destroyed, wasted.

Imagine a world where the New Testament ended not with a tale of destruction but of construction. An edict to explore, construct, cooperate? That we should get our act together and find God out in the universe. Instead of being told he'd drop in and fix our problems once we really got really, really good at killing each other.

Fuck the final battle, we've got better things to do.

PS:
I have found this infographic helpful in understanding the sects of Islam, 'cause I'm always getting them confused:
