Agree with you, and to add that i think the author got trapped in trying to find historic analogues, instead of pointing out what is different this time. > "ISIS? Nothing new here." which I would mostly agree with. There is novelty, mainly the wahabbi-funded campaign to recruit immigrants , many of whom second generation, to commit terrorism in their own countries. Also the author falls into the ISIS propaganda itself: despite those heavily publicized acts of gory violence, ISIS is not a threat to the west, but to the people of Syria and other regions. It's false to compare ISIS with the rise of nazism (just look at the fact that half the population of syria has run away from them). It's generally pointless to compare barbarism between different time periods. In general, the author seems to push forward his opinions instead of making a honest effort to understand what's going on.
