MAJLIS SHURA AL-MUJAHIDEEN: SUPPORT FOR THE ISLAMIC STATE -OPED

The Majlis Shura al-Mujahideen [more fully, Majlis Shura al-Mujahideen in the Environs of Bayt al-Maqdis], a Gaza-Sinai jihadi group and opponent of the Hamas government in Gaza, had previously come out in support of the Islamic State’s [IS] predecessor ISIS (the Islamic State in Iraq and ash-Sham) in February of this year, defending ISIS’ supposed right to ‘self-defence’ in the face of fighting with rebel groups in Syria. This reflected a wider trend of sympathy for ISIS in the Gaza-Sinai area, which now features an IS network in the form of Jamaat Ansar al-Dawla al-Islamiya fi Bayt al-Maqdis.

However, such sympathy/support [nusra in Arabic] needs to be distinguished from an actual pledge of allegiance [bay'ah] that is now an essential part of IS’ identity. That is, for IS, there are in reality no compromise positions when it comes to alignment with the group’s Caliphate agenda: one must declare bay’ah and subsume oneself under IS. Yet the Majlis Shura al-Mujahideen has not declared allegiance to IS and- like Ansar al-Shari’a Tunisia and Jamaat Ansar Bayt al-Maqdis- is aiming for an ultimately incoherent ‘third way’: that is, showing sympathy for IS while not subsuming itself under IS’ formal demand for recognition of its supposed supremacy and authority over Muslims worldwide and eventually the entire world.

The entire sunni muslim world is drifting towards support ISIS.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

It's Islam they support. ISIS and ISIL are the replica of Islam as it is. Mohammad would approve them. They are drifting out into the open about it - which is why your taking note of it - Matthew.

No he wouldn't.

The entire sunni muslim world? A few jihadi groups represent the "entire sunni muslim world"?

The largest Muslim-populated country is Indonesia and they are Sunni. Have they pledged support to ISIS/ISIL? Any other nations?

Islam wants a war with the free world? They beg us to hurt them, then act like innocent victims? Hide amongst innocent people and blame us for seeking out the bad actors? Really? Islam is a bunch of deluded hypocritical psychopaths. Nihilistic bastards, they need to get dead real quick. Islam is Nazism. Evil needs to erased from history just like Hitler and whatever form they now take. Destroy these people before they destroy YOU.

No he wouldn't.

Mohammad was a raider and thief, he actively raided caravans and attacked civilian cities. Why exactly would he disagree with ISIS? Further Islam teaches that Islam must be the only religion and the Government. Perhaps if you knew facts you would not look so stupid.

There's more to Mohammed than that.

But you don't know the facts do you?

Agreed.

I wonder who will be the next Pope to call a Crusade.

Why should the Muslims have all the fun (calling for Jihad)?
