| New issue of ISIS magazine Dabiq calls for war on ...Muslims |
| 2016-01-21 |
| [FoxNews] The latest issue of Islamic State's online magazine targets the terror group's fellow Muslims even more than the West. Dabiq, as the English-language publication is called, devotes a majority of the 56 pages in the latest issue to justifying the killing of Shia Muslims. In numerous articles, the magazine goes to great lengths to give a theological basis for killing members of the minority Muslim sect that controls Iran and Iraq and has been at odds with Sunni Muslims for over a millennia. "The magazine spends so much time justifying the killing of innocent Shiites that it suggests that ISIL is frustrated that too few Sunnis favor sectarian massacres," Ryan Mauro, a national security analyst for the Clarion Project, said. "ISIS is making the argument because it sees a problem it needs to address." ISIS' literary arm charges that Shia Muslims, or Shiites, qualify as apostates to the Sunni majority and therefore deserve to be killed. The radical terror group's target audience seems to be fellow Sunnis who consider Shiites to be Muslims, or at the very least, not deserving of being murdered. "ISIL's focus on justifying killing Shiites is because it is being pressed by Shiite forces in Iraq and Syria," Mauro said. "ISIL is hoping to enlist Sunnis by framing its jihad as part of a prophetic battle where the Shiites and Jews eventually unite behind the Antichrist. Fanning the flames of the Sunni-Shia split, which dates to shortly after the death of Mohammad, benefits ISIS by helping it recruit Sunnis, Mauro said. And the terror group's leadership appears to believe a final battle has been prophecized. The 13th issue of Dabiq, a copy of which was provided to FoxNews.com by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), is titled "The Rafidah: From Ibn Saba' To the Dajjal." Rafidah is derogatory term for Shia Muslims that translates to "rejecters." The spark has been lit here in Iraq, and its heat will continue to intensify -- by Allah's permission -- until it burns the Crusader armies in Dābiq," reads a quote from Abu Mus'ab az-Zarqawi, an Iraq-based Al Qaeda leader killed in 2006. The issue also touches upon other matters, including an article on the recently killed executioner for ISIS, "Jihadi John," an article praising the widows of ISIS fighters and a piece blasting Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... But what is most clear throughout the issue is a concerted effort to wipe out the Shia population of the Middle East. At first glance, it may seem odd that ISIS is focusing its efforts against fellow Muslims and not the West, but Mauro says that it is part of a very elaborate campaign on the Islamic State's part. "It is still important for ISIL to attack the U.S. and Europe for branding purposes," Mauro said. "It helps them make their case that they are looked favorably upon by Allah and that they are growing stronger, regardless of whatever territorial losses they suffer on the ground." |

| #5 the fact that ISIS wants to kill other Muslims has been used as a rhetorical point to attack people who warn about the problem of Jihadism, radical Islam, Islam with fangs (my fav) or whatever "see", they say, "they kill other moslims so why are we afraid of them" its a stupid, illogical way of arguing but it is done more and more frequently anyway |
