What ISIS Really Wants

snip The reality is that the Islamic State is Islamic. Very Islamic. Yes, it has attracted psychopaths and adventure seekers, drawn largely from the disaffected populations of the Middle East and Europe. But the religion preached by its most ardent followers derives from coherent and even learned interpretations of Islam.

Virtually every major decision and law promulgated by the Islamic State adheres to what it calls, in its press and pronouncements, and on its billboards, license plates, stationery, and coins, “the Prophetic methodology,” which means following the prophecy and example of Muhammad, in punctilious detail. Muslims can reject the Islamic State; nearly all do. But pretending that it isn’t actually a religious, millenarian group, with theology that must be understood to be combatted, has already led the United States to underestimate it and back foolish schemes to counter it. We’ll need to get acquainted with the Islamic State’s intellectual genealogy if we are to react in a way that will not strengthen it, but instead help it self-immolate in its own excessive zeal. snip

A lot of it is justification for that Mahomet character to be the big cheese. It repeatedly enjoins all to obey him.

It’s the most lucid and informative overview that I’ve seen to date.

......”I don’t think I will really ever totally grasp the essence of Islam and it’s sects. It is very hard to get your head wrapped around something as irrational and really anti-human as Islam”.......

We should not have to understand or get our head wrapped around ISlam...it boils down to one thing.

Jesus warned... ...”the hour is coming when those who kill you will think they are offering a service to God. ... I have told you these things now so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you.”....John 16

[caww]

Dr. Franklin Grahman was clear...I jotted down some of the things he’s said for my own file I’ll share here since you mentioned it...he’s very clear about what ISIS and ISlam is, and he has said so from 9/11 onward and not once retracted anything.

“The Storm is Coming”.....

“Islam as a “religion of war” a “very wicked and evil religion... It has not been hijacked by radicals. This is the faith, this is the religion. It is what it is. It speaks for itself”....

“Islam itself had not changed at all in 1500 years, “It is the same. It is a religion of war.”..

“The God of Islam is not the same God of the Judaeo-Christian faith. “The God that we worship in Christianity is a God that has a Son.... To Islam, that is blasphemy, to say that God has a son..... Therefore, they do not worship the God that we worship.”...

“The evil of ISIS really shouldn’t shock us – it is fully in keeping with their ultimate agenda of hastening a final apocalypse. God’s Word tells us that there will be a final battle one day, but it will result in the defeat of Satan and all those allied with him.........“One thing is for sure – one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

Many denials of the Islamic State’s religious nature, he said, are rooted in an “interfaith-Christian-nonsense tradition...

LOVE THAT LINE

[Chickensoup]

he discusses the false belief in “the religion of peace” and the “willful ignorance” of people like our President and those that advise him:

Not willful ignorance, planned takeover. These people are truly evil. Interesting that this is in the Atlantic, the bible of the elite.

would not be surprised if Obama announces that he is a Moslem before or just after the Constitutional end of his term. The Left would swoon in euphoria.

The ultimate middle finger at America: "Yeah, I was really Muslim all along, whacha gonna do, crackers!"

[Shimmer1]

I was wondering that myself. Although I am sure that I don’t want to know how. ugh

Muhammed=dog piss

At the end of the read I realized that this article is a cover for current administration

At the end of the read I realized that this article is a cover for current administration.

I didn't get that feeling. If anything the article shows just how badly the Administration is blowing it.

[Chickensoup]

really, I thought the last few paragraphs were about essentially doing nothing except bleeding it slowly and accepting that as the only bad choice.
