On the topic of ISIL specifically, I found this to be a very interesting read: >Dissent in the Islamic State: 'Hashimi Advice' to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi https://www.aymennjawad.org/22199/dissent-in-the-islamic-state-hashimi-advice-to >The Caliphate was announced, and the people appointed you as Caliph and gave allegiance to you and we gave allegiance to you with them. Then we began waging jihad in the east and west, and so the land yielded to us- despite our few numbers- and the hearts of men trembled before our terror- despite our weakness. And we knocked on the doors of Damascus and we approached the outskirts of Baghdad and we shook the peripheries of Arbil and we penetrated the fortresses of Beirut, London and Paris. So what is the matter that the state of affairs has changed, and the sign has reversed, and the one who feared us has become the one attack us, and the one who was fleeing from us, our soldiers now flee from him?! So where is the damage and where is the fault?!

>>376 >are isil/boko haram/taleban pakistan just a bunch of drug dealers/traffiking crime sydnicates with loose islamic theological training? yes >do their leaders have a record of madrasa attendance and learning under a qualified scholar? no >I just honestly want to know if theyre common criminals like los zetas or would be able to defend their bombings and massacres theologically. they are violent criminals with zero Islamic justification for their actions.

>>378 One of the best examples concerning the injustice of "IS" is the killing of Alan Henning, a British taxi driver and charity worker who was kidnapped and killed while he was driving a convoy delivering aid to the Muslims in Syria on behalf of a Muslim charity. They did not spare his life even despite pleas for his release by the Muslims, Mujahideen and Ulama from around the world. Contrast this with the Prophetic example. Mut'im ibn Adi was a mushrik who gave protection to Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Makkah. After the battle of Badr when the Muslims had captured a number of kaafir prisoners of war, the Prophet said of them: "Were Al-Mutim bin Adi alive and interceded with me for these filthy people, I would definitely forgive them for his sake." (Bukhari 4023) ISIS did not release one British aid worker who was helping the Muslims of Syria, despite countless Muslims appealing for his release. The Prophet Muhammad would have let the captured kuffar who were at war with the Muslims go free, if one single kaafir had interceded for them. What a big difference between the two.

Actually, DAESH/ISIS are offshoot of the Khawaarij, and as per the religion, the khawaarij are kufaar. ISIS/DAESH are kufaar criminal murderers and rapists LARPing as Muslims

>>576 >The hadith canons relate that shortly after the battle of Hunayn while the Prophet ﷺ was distributing charity to a few people whose hearts needed to be reconciled, there came a man with a thick beard, prominent cheek bones, deep sunken eyes, protruding forehead and shaven head. He exclaimed: Fear Allah, O Muhammad! The Prophet ﷺ responded: ‘Who will obey Allah if I were to disobey him? Am I not [sent as the] most trustworthy person on earth; and yet you trust me not?’ The man then turned back, whereupon one of those present asked for permission to kill him. But the Prophet ﷺ said: ‘Verily, from the progeny (di’di) of this [man] shall come a people who will recite the Qur’an but it won’t pass beyond their throats. They will slay the followers of Islam and would spare the people of idolatry. They will pierce through the religion just like an arrow which goes clean through a prey.’ - Muslim, no.1064. >The Prophet ﷺ described the Khawarij as: ‘young in age, weak in intellect,’ - Al-Bukhari, no.3611; Muslim, no.1066. >Ibn ‘Abbas, in his parley with them, told them this home truth: ‘I come to you from the Emigrants (muhajirun) and the Helpers (ansar), and the son-in-law of Allah’s Messenger ﷺ. To them the Qur’an was revealed. They are more learned about its meanings than you are; and there is not a single one of them among you.’ - Talbis Iblis, 89-90. >“The Khawarij are the dogs of Hellfire!" - Ibn Majah, no.176. Al-Albani graded it as sahih in Sahih al-Jami‘ al-Saghir

>>376 Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi: PhD in Islamic Studies (Islamic University of Baghdad) Abu Ali al-Anbari: Degree in Islamic Studies (University of Baghdad). Turki al-Binali: Studied under a number of scholars and received ijaza from Shaykh Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi. Just to mention some. The IS also has its own Islamic research office (Maktab al-Buhuth wa al-Dirasat).

>>576 The IS is from Ahl al Sunna wa al Jamaa. It is not like the Khawarij who are a sect that follows something other than the Sunnah.

>>550 The Islamic State isn't perfect and there are lots of things you may criticize it for. But if you would urge outright to not support it, then mention a state that is more sincere in its effort, one that applies Islam more thoroughly, so that the Muslims may support it instead.

So i guess praying here is also just playing too and so are wars and jihad and names of thing why take it so seriously man it s not like everybody can blow up mountains judt by feeling irritated

>>667 prayer is not a worldly affair.

>>660 >then mention a state that is more sincere in its effort They're targeting nobodies instead of the biggest enemy of Islam in the region. Said enemy also doesn't seem concerned about IS. Something doesn't add up here...
