Why does ISIS keep making enemies - CNN.com

I think the world needs to take these idiots a lot more seriously. They will not stop in the Middle East, North Africa, or even Europe. They are determined to see world domination.

Because they truly believe that Gods will is for them to kill all non Muslims, and turn the world into an Islamic empire.

And if they die for this cause...they get 72 virgin women to serve them for all eternity.

But...Obama's admin thinks giving them minimum wage jobs will change that.

Obama is CLEARLY more worried and concerned about what people think about the Islam religion and swaying blame somewhere else than to do a damn thing other than toss some bombs from drones.
We are losing. They are winning at an amazing rate.
Syria, Yemen and Egypt are out of control...Iraq falling as we type...they now have BOMB MAKING CAPABILITIES in Yemen.
And our Commander in Chief is holding a summit trying to make sure people don;t have bad feelings about Muslims.
This is happening.

CNN........

A key window into understanding ISIS is its English language "in-flight magazine" Dabiq. Last week the seventh issue of Dabiq was released, and a close reading of it helps explains ISIS' world view.

The mistake some make when viewing ISIS is to see it as a rational actor. Instead, as the magazine documents, its ideology is that of an apocalyptic cult that believes that we are living in the end times and that ISIS' actions are hastening the moment when this will happen.

The name of the Dabiq magazine itself helps us understand ISIS' worldview. The Syrian town of Dabiq is where the Prophet Mohammed is supposed to have predicted that the armies of Islam and "Rome" would meet for the final battle that will precede the end of time and the triumph of true Islam.

In the recent issue of Dabiq it states: "As the world progresses towards al-Malhamah al-Kubrā, ('the Great Battle' to be held at Dabiq) the option to stand on the sidelines as a mere observer is being lost." In other words, in its logic, you are either on the side of ISIS or you are on the side of the Crusaders and infidels.

When American aid worker Peter Kassig was murdered by ISIS in November, "Jihadi John" -- the masked British murderer who has appeared in so many ISIS videos -- said of Kassig: "We bury the first crusader in Dabiq, eagerly waiting for the rest of your armies to arrive."

In other words, ISIS wants a Western ground force to invade Syria, as that will confirm the prophecy about Dabiq.

We live in an increasingly secularized world, so it's sometimes difficult to take seriously the deeply held religious beliefs of others. For many of us the idea that the end of times will come with a battle between "Rome" and Islam at the obscure Syrian town of Dabiq is as absurd as the belief that the Mayans had that their human sacrifices could influence future events.

But for ISIS, the Dabiq prophecy is deadly serious. Members of ISIS believe that they are the vanguard fighting a religious war, which Allah has determined will be won by the forces of true Islam.

Note to my post above...Obama wants you to believe ISIS existence is not religious in nature, but a lack of jobs.

 

[mamooth]

Actually, you want us to believe Obama believes that, being it's a kind of religious belief on your part that Obama believes that.

However, we have no interest in converting to your anti-Obama religion.

Actually, the extremism is fueled by unemployment, ignorance, and radical beliefs.....Military force alone will not overcome all of these issues. If Egypt, Libya, Jordan, and eventually the Saudis join together in a coalition, they may be able to slow ISIS. But the long term answer is much more complicated.

And now ISIS AKA Obama's JV team are going to use Libya as a stepping stone to wreak havoc and terror in Europe.

Wasn't it so nice of us to just hand Libya to jihadists? My, my. What an Arab Spring.
