4 Ways ISIS Roots Its Actions In Religion by malvisguy212: 8:29am On Nov 25, 2015
The Islamic State group has claimed
responsibility for the Paris attacks,
labeling them the "first of the storm." The
terrorist group affirmed, in a statement
issued in Arabic, French and English, that
it chose the targets "accurately,"
identifying Paris as the "capital of
prostitution" and France, because of its
participation in the war against ISIS, as
the Crusader.
This tragedy took 129 lives so far, with
more than 300 wounded. There are four
critical observations on the ISIS-issued
statement, and one general conclusion.
1. ISIS BASED ITS ACTION ON A LITERAL READING OF THE QURAN:
The statement begins with the Islamic
basil: "In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, and the Most Merciful." This phrase is found in the beginning of all the chapters of the Quran, except onerous applies a specific literal reading of the Quran. It views itself as truly Islamic and claims its actions are supported by the Quran. Contrary to common wisdom, ISIS maintains that the Paris attacks reflect the compassion and mercy of Allah through the destruction of French infidels. In fact, the statement begins and ends with the Quran: The attacks are a fulfilment of the Quran in
which Allah himself expelled the unfaithful infidels or unbelievers of ahl
al-kitab (Jews and Christians) from their
homes, and a manifestation of the Quran, in which Allah himself will surely
expel the abased from the city.
2. FOR ISIS FOLLOWERS, FRANCE IS AT WAR WITH ISLAM:
The statement portrays France (and its
allies) as Crusaders, literally "the holders of the Cross," portraying the war in purely religious terms. For ISIS, according to the issued statement, France did not wage war against the Islamic State, but rather against Islam itself. France is one of the leaders of "the Crusader campaign," which cursed Muhammad, and struck "Muslims in the land of the Caliphate."
3. THE ATTACK WERE MEANT TO IMITATE
SEVENTH -CENTURY RAIDS LED BY THE
PROPHET MUHAMMED:
The statement identified the Paris attacks using the Arabic term "ghazwa." This term is primarily used in the biography of Muhammad to refer to his raids and expeditions against the non-Muslims in the Arabian Peninsula in the seventh century. By using this unique Arabic term, ISIS signifies its claimed noble religious cause, imitating the military campaigns in the earliest Islamic period. This use of sacred terms addresses devout Muslims who know the history and the life of their prophet in its original text. They identified the attacks as a successful ghazwa, emphasizing that Allah is the one who "facilitated the reasons for its success."
4. THE TERRORIST VIEW THEMSELVES AS MARTYRS FOR ISLAM:
The Islamic State's statement refers to
the attackers as martyrs for the sake of
Islam, identifying them as young men
who "divorced the worldly life" to die in
the path of Allah and for his cause. They
died, the statement said, to support the
cause of the true religion and in
fulfillment of the charges of the Prophet
Muhammad to humiliate enemies,
rubbing "their noses in the dusty ground."

One cannot erase the effects of such
horrible attacks executed under the
banner of religion. To claim that all
Muslims are terrorists is far from correct
but to deny or underestimate the significant power and influence of some
Islamic texts and specific interpretations
of them is not prudent, either.

To suggest that this is the true Islam and that these attacks reveal the true face of Islam would also be wrong, as Islam is far from monolithic and there are plenty of Muslims who sincerely condemn such atrocities.

To adopt a politically correct discourse
and suggest these attacks had nothing to do with religion and that Islam is the
religion of peace (as if other religions are not?) would be also naive and inaccurate. Religious texts in the hands of religious exegetes can be lethal. One can avoid or ignore the reality of the Islamic reasoning and interpretation of ISIS, but we all will be affected by such avoidance and ignorance.

In grieving and mourning those killed in
the Paris attacks, Christians must not let
hatred against Muslims dwell in their
hearts. They must not perceive all
Muslims as terrorists. Instead, we must
pray for France and its people. She will
never be the same.

This is an extract from the OP:

''The attacks are a fulfilment of the
Quran in
which Allah himself expelled the
unfaithful infidels or unbelievers
of ahl
al-kitab (Jews and Christians) from
their
homes, and a manifestation of the
Quran, in which Allah himself will
surely
expel the abased from the city''.

Comment: If muslims could expel Jews and Christians from Mecca, why are Christian nations accommodating them? This is the mistake many countries are making, including France. Muslims, like snakes, you cannot please them by being nice to them. The islamic jinns in them hate anything Godly. They don't appreciate love because their god is not loving.

you have a very good point there. They expelled the infidels from their homes but now it is the infidels that are providing shelter for allah slaves . This points to the fact that the infidels are more merciful than allah.

Yes, you are right.

Who the muslims call infidels (kafri), are Godly people who refuse to accept Muhammad's evil allahh. Islamic infidels are better than the best of muslims.

Yet they runaway to Christian and Jewish countries in times of trouble. After taking them in by these countries, they become terrorists.


Also, quoting from the same Quran. "Allah himself expelled...... " You do not need to fight for God if it is the same God o that I know. Because my God can part the red sea, send fire to annihilate Sodom and Gomorrah. Ask the Egyptians what went down?

My God can fight his battles, hence we say the battle is the lord's. Eod.

confused muslims, christians are not bound by old testament law, that why we don't fight if someone insult the name of Jesus, we allowed God to judge as the bible say "VENGEANCE IS MINE SAY'S THE LORD "

Stop fighting for Allah, he is all merciful, all knowing and judgement belongs to him only.
