Did DFW's "E Unibus Pluram" predict the rise of fundamentalist Islam across the Middle East, Africa, and the West?

The Wahhabist embrace of tradition and literal interpretation exists in direct opposition to the irony of moderate, Ottoman Islam as well as the agnostic secularism of the West.

This is an excellent insight, ISIS is undoubtedly the most sincere movement in the world today. I would say Trump's success is also due to his sincerity.

Trump is less sincere than Hillary Clinton, but he happens to be a better actor

Actually in a really twisted way Trump is extremely sincere. He's nakedly open about his quest to lie and steal and negotiate his way to a position of strength. He lies, but he does it so transparently that everyone knows he's lying. He's an honest liar, if that makes any sense.
