Here's a companion piece to that Atlantic article, where Bernard Haykel expounds further and clarifies some of the more ambiguous bits of the article. Stuff that Wood left out in making the article at times a little more one-sided than it needed to be.

It's conclusion is simple. Yes. But honest.

Taken together, Haykel’s comments appeared to argue that effectively combating ISIS will require more than discerning what “ISIS wants,” theologically speaking. Instead, it also requires a deep, abiding dedication to providing what most Muslims in the region want, and what Wood only briefly addresses in his article: stability, jobs, education, and, most of all, peace.
