I was going to post this as a separate thread but it appears to fit here as a reply to the OP
Islamic State – How Can It NOT Be Islamic?
I wish someone would answer that question. Why do I ask? Simple. We have:
Videos of IS “officials” going through marketplaces and shops telling merchants they must shut down to attend prayers.
IS “officials” gathering up books, magazines, pamphlets, and other periodicals and tossing them into piles in the street and burning them. [Shades of Nazi Germany and Communist Europe]
Women and men wearing western clothing are ordered to remove and destroy them. Failure to do so to results in horrible punishments. Same clothing torn to shreds and tossed into piles for rags.
Public punishment such as throwing acid in a woman's face for looking at a man other than her husband. Removal of hands for stealing. Public rapine of women and girls considered to be “loose”.
Destruction of entire legal systems to be replaced by religious leaders handing out unappeasable decisions based upon “Islamic [Sharia] Law”
If this isn't “Islamic” than what is?
According to Repsac3, Accusing Any Muslim of Honor Killing, No Matter the Circumstances, Makes You Guilty of 'Bigotry' @ American Power According to Repsac3 Accusing Any Muslim of Honor Killing No Matter the Circumstances Makes You Guilty of Bigotry
The Pillars of Arab Despotism @ The Pillars of Arab Despotism by Robert F. Worth The New York Review of Books
THAT IS OFF TOPIC.
Read the article, please. Your talking points aimed at influencing the US midterms are not related to the thread.
Of course the question of whether ISIS is Islamic is related to an ISIS thread. I think you fail to grasp the topic.
