According to Forbes Contributor Doug Bandow the Islamic State is evil, but the organization’s raison d’etre is establishing a Middle Eastern caliphate, or quasi-state, not terrorizing Americans. In fact, grabbing territory provided the U.S. with a target for retaliation in response to any attack, something lacking with al-Qaeda and its many off-shoots.
But are the aims of Al-Qaeda and Islamic State not going further, hoping to convert the whole world to the Islam and having one world regime under Islamic Law?
U.S.A. Secretary Jeh Johnson said: “We know of no credible information that ISIL is planning to attack the homeland at present.”
Two weeks ago President Barack Obama did try to make a broader point when he uttered
"Let’s be clear: While this group may call itself the “Islamic State,” it is not “Islamic.”c,"
which made that several Americans and critics on Twitter
quickly fired off on the President for making the assertion, with many
noting that ISIL in fact stands for the "Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant."
What Obama said in his prime-time speech Wednesday night September 10 can be found in ISIL will find no safe haven where the president rightly accuses those who just kill innocent people and destroy also Islamic heritage not to be people who live according the rules of the faith they say to defend. Why would they rape and kill other Muslims if they are real faithful Muslims and how can it that they bomb, burn and destroy Qurans, whilst in case Western people would do such a thing they would call for a fatwa and shout for murder of that person.
Muslim political, religious and social commentator regularly appearing on British television and radio presenter Mohammed Ansar also know as a
leading public advocate against extremism, has tackled both
international terror threats and domestic far right radicalisation.
Mohammed is well known for his advocacy for Muslim civil rights and is
outspoken against Islamophobia. Mohammed became the focus of
international attention when he was named at the top of terrorist
organisation Al Shabab's most-wanted list. In spite of this, Mohammed
has continued to speak out publically against the rise of terror and
extremism, and to promote peace and tolerance amongst
communities. Mohammed advocates a return to an authentic Islamic
enlightenment as part of the Muslim revivalist and spiritual
reformational movement.
For him there is no doubt that in these coming days, global Islam, almost a third of humanity, will unite across all forms of division, in the worship of one God. But to have Islamic State being part of that true worshipping community seems to be a bridge too far. Many today still have no idea that Islam is the completion of the religion which was revealed to mankind through a single line of Prophets.
On the 11° of September he tweeted:
ISIL is not Islamic, says prime time @BarackObama (and virtually every Muslim and reasonably educated person on the face of our planet).
Also for Ameena Jandali, the Content Director for
Islamic Networks Group ( ING), a non-profit organization that counters
prejudice and discrimination against American Muslims by teaching about
their traditions and contributions in the context of America’s history
and cultural diversity, while building relations between American
Muslims and other groups, it is clear there is something wrong in the attitude of those Jihad fighters.
For Patheos and Time he writes:this year, hajj will take place against the ugly backdrop of a group that has come to represent the antithesis of what the pilgrimage signifies: Unity through diversity, brotherhood and equality, and the sanctity of religion, its symbols and holy places.
As ISIS sends another two hundred thousand Muslim Kurds fleeing into Turkey after terrorizing Christian, Yazidi, and other populations for months, millions of pilgrims in Islam’s two holiest cities are gathered to peacefully commemorate Abraham, the father, not only of Islam, but of Judaism and Christianity.Jandali points to the other major theme of hajj which is the interconnectedness of humankind, which is demonstrated by the simple white pieces of cloth which all male pilgrims wear during the duration of the hajj, no matter from where in the world they come.
Jandali continues:
Especially at this holy time, the stark contrast between the lofty goals of the religion and the actions of groups like ISIS, Boko Haram and others who make a mockery of Islam with their brutal and merciless behavior is a painful reminder that religion is not about terminology or slogans. Rather, true religion is explained in a saying of the Prophet Muhammad,
“I was only sent to perfect good character.”
I also think when we see and hear what those fundamentalists do that they do too many things which are against the idea of Quran and certainly against the Words of God like we know them. Seeing how they treat other Muslims makes us think and wonder what their real motives are. There we clearly can see that power and making an own state is the major mover. In case the incentive would be to make a sacred Islamic State than they should accept all Muslim brothers and sisters as part of the people united under the teachings of the prophet Muhammad. In case their ideas, motives are really funded on the believe they should spread the true belief in One God, they would not destroy such books like the Quran, which would and should be a Holy Book for all Muslims.
In my article Not true or True Catholicism and True Islam I go deeper into this matter and show more reasons why Islamic State (IS) is not a real true Islamic Movement.
