Unfortunately, I don't think radical Islam is really working as a means of reinstating Tradition. I'm not sure if you've spoken to many Muslims but the Muslim world is suffering from the same degeneracy as the West. It is, of course, a mitigated form of that degeneracy but the waters are rising and the dam will burst in the Islamic world and Islam, like Christianity, will be relegated to a minor role. You can see the forces at work now. There is a great clamor in the Muslim world for Westernization (with hegemonic and leveling forces like the US only exacerbating that din). Reactionary efforts are being made in the Muslim world, but they were made in Europe as well. I don't have much hope that Islam will somehow bring about a new golden age.
