BUT ISIS KILLS MORE MUSLIMS THAN NON-MUSLIMS!
Front Page Magazine ^ | 18/12/15 | Raymond Ibrahim

With the rise of the Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL, or IS), an old apologia meant to exonerate Islam of violence has become prominent, again. Because ISIS is killing other Muslims, so the argument goes, obviously, its violence cannot be based on Islam, which bans Muslims from killing fellow Muslims in its name.

This point is always stressed whenever Islamic jihadis commit massacres in the West. Speaking soon after the San Bernardino terror attack that left 14 dead, U.S. president Obama, who earlier insisted that the Islamic State “is not Islamic,” elaborated:

Similarly, after last November’s Paris terrorist attack, which left 129 people dead, the UK’s Independent published an article titled, “Paris attacks: Isis responsible for more Muslim deaths than western victims.” And the Daily Beast argued that, “Before the Paris horror, ISIS was killing Muslims on a daily basis. We Muslims despise these crazy people more than anyone else does…. But the number one victim of this barbaric terror group is Muslims. That’s undisputed.”

Along with distancing Islam from violence—real Muslims are not supposed to kill other Muslims in the name of jihad—this argument further clouds the issue of who is the true victim of Islamic terrorism: Why talk about the Muslim slaughter of non-Muslims—whether Western people in Paris or California, or Christian minorities under Islam—when it is Muslims who are the primary victims most deserving of sympathy?

Yet this argument is flawed on several levels. First, the Islamic State does not view its victims as Muslims. Indeed, mainstream Sunni Islam—the world’s dominant strand of Islam which ISIS adheres to—views all non-Sunnis as false Muslims; at best, they are heretics who need to submit to the “true Islam.”

"ISIL does not speak for Islam. They are thugs and killers, part of a cult of death..."

Exactly. They're Muslims.

But anyway, if DAESH/ISIS(L) doesn't view the Muslims they kill as Muslims, and their Muslim victims don't view them as Muslims, let them go at each other, and arm and train the victims to give as good as they get. Then make popcorn.

Arm both sides to the teeth, do psyops and false flags against both sides so there is an ever escalating revenge, rather, rinse, repeat, then when one weakened side come victorious and are all super pumped and ready to take on the world, then bomb the $hit out of their celebrations

Exactly.

ISIS decides who is, or is not, a true Muslim.

Anyone who doesn't agree with them 100% is not a true Muslim, and can (and should) be killed

Islamic civil war.
Not our fight (unless one is Muslim).

Does anyone (other than Muslims) really care which sect or sub-sect of Islam comes out on top ... for now?

When Protestant and Catholic people where fighting each other, did Muslims care which side won?

Let spooks working in deep cover from all the espionage agencies encourage them to fight among each other. Let all the holy warriors get good and holey.

Absolutely. Rude to stick your two cents into someone else’s holy war.

These are not fellow Sunni Muslims; they are heretics and apostates who call themselves Muslims, they are not practicing the faith as Allah in the Koran, and Muhammed in the Hadiths want it practiced.

And the worst of them are the Shiites who don't respect the Hadiths at all. - Tom

Sunni Muslims want to kill everyone they view as insufficiently Muslim. Shiite Muslims want to kill everyone they view as insufficiently Muslim. Salafist Muslims want to kill everyone they view as insufficiently Muslim.
Wahabbianist Muslims want to kill everyone they view as insufficiently Muslim.
Sufi Muslims want to kill everyone they view as insufficiently Muslim.
ISIS and Al Qaeda want to kill everyone they view as insufficiently Muslim.

There is no reasoning with any Muslim. They all want to kill everyone, including themselves. This is a big reason why Soetoro, Jarrett, and the rest of the liberals have failed in their quest to turn America Islam: they can’t decide which branch of Islam to force on us.

According to our leaders anyone from the ME who’s not a Jew is a muslim. And since sometimes they say Islam is a race, he’s a muslim.

Only because, in that part of the world, there are more Muslims than Christians, by about ten to one.

But what about Sefardic Jews with real dark skin. Are they Muslims, too?

“ISIS decides who is, or is not, a true Muslim.”

As does King Hussein of America.

Air Force One should be renamed Taqiyya One.
