Marat was killed (rightfully so) and the Robespierre were beheaded themselves. everybody gets sick of people like that. even those who might share their ideology.
i'm not worried about ISIS. they are exactly the same as Jean-Paul Marat. and they will collapse under the weight of their own militancy and get destroyed too.
I think you're making a real bad comparison using Robespierre and Marat against Islamic extremists.
Most westerners are surprised to learn that the things being fought for by the Taliban, Al Qaida, Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS and supported by the the governments of Iran and Saudi Arabia are
EXACTLY the same things Islamic extremists were fighting for
900 years ago.
Here we are going to war over beheadings in 2014... So did Genghis Khan back in the 1200s. All for exactly the same reasons... This is history repeating itself and westerners don't realize it or even have a clue that the war the armies of Genghis waged in the middle east was bigger than anything known before the WWII. I learned all this while stationed in Afghanistan where we marines did a great deal of reading and discussing all this -- and talking with people there.
Last year I read a book called
"A History of France" by Andre Maurois. A GREAT BOOK. But be warned --- every page in it will require you to google people and events he casually mentions. When it came to the Reign of Terror under Robespierre and the "Committee of Public Safety" in most history accounts omit or barely refer to the solid truth that the writings of Adam Weishaupt of Illuminati fame were widely circulated and read in Paris. In fact the ideals and tactics of the Illuminati were put to practice under Robespierre an the Committee. Robespierre and Weishaupt both believed terror was a tool to instill "morality" into people of a nation. (you can find writings by both to confirm this) Islamic terrorists have always used terror as a means to frighten their enemies both real and imaginary. (look up Nizari Ismailis for info on the early terrorists.)
Robespierre and the committee attempted to throw off all traditions and ties with the past to re-invent a new society. They renamed the days of the week, made weeks ten days instead of seven, renamed the months, outlawed existing religions and invented a totally new one....and that's just part of their changes. It was at this time the word "communist" first came into use to refer to the people who were involved with the Reign of Terror which has more in common with the mass murders done by Stalin and Mao after WWII than with Islamic extremists.
