ISIS are barbarians in the truest sense.
These (ISIS) Jihadists have used the time honored Islamic Holy War to murder their infidel co-religionists. There next goal may be us devil infidels of other than Muslim belief. That includes billions of people.
I don't care what someone believes in: but don't fuck with me because I don't believe in the same thing as you. If the people in the Arab (and Persian) countries want to live under their Sharia laws they have that right. However, the fanatic Jihadists do not have the right to mass-murder their own people in Allah's name. |
These guys are not fighting jihad in the traditional sense. Jihad is usually aimed at what is considered Westren invasion or occupation. Rather than fighting off troops that occupy wherever, they consider the govt's of the Middle East and the states themselves as the occupiers. These guys have some pretty hefty goals and have been pretty capable of carrying them out.
They are more complicated than the typical radicals that live in mud huts and fight in caves. They are well funded, pay their solders better than the govt's they fight and are becoming very well armed. They are probably the biggest threat to come out of the middle east, because at least with the various states like Syria there was ways to control them.
The IS guys goal is to take over the Middle East and move outward from there. They want to control the oil and resources of the MI in order to take the fight elsewhere.
