ISIS fighters are using ‘Islam for Dummies’ to prepare for jihad
NY Post ^ | August 15, 2016 | Sophia Rosenbaum

ISIS wannabes are so ignorant about the culture they’re pledging their lives to that they are ordering books like “Islam for Dummies” before joining the terrorist organization.

About 70 percent of ISIS recruits only have “basic” knowledge of Shariah law, the Islamic legal system, according to an analysis by The Associated Press of more than 3,000 internal documents from the terror network.

Some jihadis-in-training admitted in court that they tried to beef up their knowledge about the religion before traveling to Syria by buying a few books from Amazon.

Convicted terrorists Mohammed Ahmed and Yusuf Sarwar, 22-year-old recruits from Britain, ordered “The Koran for Dummies” and “Islam for Dummies” before their trip.

They were arrested and convicted of terrorism-related charges when they tried to re-enter Britain in 2014.

And prominent Islamic scholars like Mohammed Abdelfadel, who monitors ISIS’ propaganda at Egypt’s Al-Azhar University, said the terror group itself violates many Islamic laws including killing of innocent civilians and engaging in terrorism.

Too funny. Idiots dont even know what they’re going to fight and die for.

It should be “Islam IS for Dummies”

An aptly titled pair of books.

Maybe purchasers of these books need to be added to watch lists.

Kind of like how I hear one (it shall remain unnamed) out-of-print book on a certain aspect of terminal ballistics is offered on e-bay for an outlandish price over $2000 by the FBI. They figure anyone who is willing to spend that much money to get it must be a terrorist. Well, that is the apocryphal story I heard, anyway.

Because Islam is not really what they are being drawn to. They seek domination. Over women, weaker men, and the opportunity to kill without consequence.

I wonder if I would get on a watch list if I bought a couple copies of the book, and shipped them to Obama and Hillary Clinton?

An apt description on many US urban warfare centers- not to steal the thread just an observation

With any luck, once they learn what it really is, they won’t like what they see.

Can I tweet that over to Trump’s site?

Facebook him too?

It’s the fewest sentences I’ve ever read to explain EXACTLY and PERFECTLY why they go there.

The real “dummies” are the people that buy the books, not thinking about where the money goes, thereby funding the rag head murdering bastards.

I thought the funniest in the Dummy series was Citizenship for Dummies (I think out of print). Just the kind of people you would want as a fellow citizen. Other noteworthy mentions, Chemistry for Dummies, Police Exam for Dummies, and Raising Goats for Dummies which probably comes in a two pack for Islam for Dummies. There is also an Idiots Guide to the Koran.

There is a certain irony in that.
