This is insane, I bet if this happened to an old mosque there would be riots and beheadings.
These snackbars need to be taken out, hellfire style.
I hope Bitcointalks resident Islamist come in here and post, is this another miracle of Islam?
This thread is about ISIS not about Islam. Killing thousands of innocents is Islamic? Please don't spread FUD. ISIS never follows Islam even though they claim they do. If I claim, I am president, it doesn't make me a president. This is the same thing they are doing. I hope you will understand it.
I agree with you that they are not "Islamic," at least not the form of Islam most people would consider to be most legitimate. Does this ultimately matter though? The problem is ISIS claims to be Islamic, and they have enough people who agree with them to be the force that they are. You and them disagree about who is correct, but what does this ultimately matter as they're killing people? The fact remains they have sympathizers and supporters significant enough in numbers to make them relevant.
That's the whole thing: they're relevant because they have support. It may not be
your Islam, but that hardly matters when their purpose is to spread their form of violent Islam. They have enough people who agree with their form of Islam to be relevant. If their form of Islam was so anathema to all Muslims, they wouldn't have enough support to be relevant.
