Up next on my list of "Top 5 Craziest Paradigm Shifts":

"It turns out that the bloodthirsty disciples of the Illiterate Caravan Robber are... actually not that big a deal, in the grand scheme of things."

I used to be absolutely convinced that the Mohammedans were the Big Bad. Now I that it's actually threefold.

2. The Jews (Neo-Maccabean sect)

3. The Jews (Neo-Hellenistic sect)

In roughly that order. The Mohammedans were probably controlled opposition to #1 from the beginning.
