First western journalist given full access to ISIS warns it's 'much more dangerous than we think'

[TankMan]

Most concerning of all, he said, was Isis fighters' belief that "all religions who agree with democracy have to die".

And someone tell these morons that Islam agrees with democracy too! The first caliph, Hazrat Abu Bakr, was ELECTED as a leader by the people of Makkah. And there's absolutely No, Zero, Nil basis in any Islamic text that forbids electing your leader (obviously you can't worship him, but otherwise its all good).

Idiotic Mullahs spreading idiocy for political reasons should not be taken seriously.

ISSI will be dead in 2 years.Once the iraqi army gets up to speed.They are already losing on all fronts.

you can't kill an ideology. You have to go after the clerics in the GCC that fund it..

As per the article, ISIS is not after the Abrahamic religions, but all other religions and those who follow democracy must die, now that makes India their prime target being the largest democracy with the largest population of non-Abrahamic religion people. But how they can successfully fight against India? I don't think 'open belligerence' will work here!

Its greatest strength is that its an open club. All you have to do is to pledge allegiance to the "Caliph" and voila.. you're in. Think of the many Muslims in India who for various social reasons are sitting at borderline nutcase.

their aspirations make it a threat and the way they brought soo many youngsters from all over the world to their ranks is scary. It means that if they expand their operations then they can really have a force that can spread terrorism in many countries. Without a doubt they are a threat that cannot be underestimated and they must be defeated there in iraq and syria so that they can never spread otherwise there will be terrorism activities in many countries.

Pakistan who is itself fighting a terrorist outfit must keep an eye out for ISIS and any of its sympathizers.

Second or third largest Muslim population in the world, most of them Sunni and just 4 nutcases who joined ISIS is a major achievement of India's core principles and what it offers to its citizens.

Main reason why even the ISI backed Indian Mujaheddin couldn't even take off and are just credited with a few firecracker incidents and most of it's Indian counterparts behind bars while the one's in Pakistan safe.

Those are the just an inkling of what lies beneath. If you are so sure of it, then you may sit relaxed on the idea that ISIS is no issue for India.

 

[Donatello]

They needed a journalist to tell them that ISIS is dangerous?

 

[The Great One]

Muslims in India can at best only do terrorist strikes on India i.e nothing new. Nobody will openly dare challenge the might of the Indian state. Golden-temple 'incident' is a good reminder for anyone even dreaming of ISIS style attack on India.

I am quite sure - see, India is a soft target for terrorists, if the radicalization of Muslims in India had to happen similar to what's happening in Pakistan, Afghanistan, UK, Europe of North America then there would have been Indian ISIS members in multiplication of other nationalities - also given the fact that Million plus Indian Muslims are working in the ME, who could have been brainwashed enough to join any jihadi faction but there isn't a single case that's been reported, same goes for Indian Muslims living in the west. ..there are more Bangladeshi jihadi's then there are Indian in the ME and that is a sure sign that radicalization is rejected by the larger Indian Muslim populace even when ISI has tried it's darnedest.

Having said that, the Indian administration will do it's best and work hard to keep any attempts of ISIS influence away from it's Muslim population

Todenhofer said Isis has worked hard to establish itself as a functioning state. He said it has "social welfare", a "school system", and that he was even surprised to see it has plans to provide education to girls.

oh, yes... hamas part 2... or taliban part 2... same burqa system.

 

[mike2000]

dnt u see , it only proves tat isis are jst israeli and us puppets...

lool Nope not at all. You dont seem to understand these people quite well bro. Just go on one of the middle eastern sections on here and see how Sunnis and Shiites are battling each other in their comments, just so you can understand how much they hate each other, especially the Sunnis who consider the Shiites as 'Devils/heretics'. They will even prefer Hindus/Buddhist to Shias if they were given a chance. Trust me im not lying. Does this also means ISIS is Indias puppet? Nope, It has something to do with heir own view/interpretation of their version of Islam. Reason why Sunnis Al Qaeda/ISIS/Al nusra front terrorists all hate and wipe out Shiites when they have the opportunity, be it by beheading/force conversions(if you are lucky.lol), suicide bombings of mosques etc. Their hatred of each other is baffling, all these while being fellow 'Muslims brothers'.

ISSI will be dead in 2 years.Once the iraqi army gets up to speed.They are already losing on all fronts.

lool far from it, they are just getting started, they are getting more and more support/arms ammunitions indirectly from our foolish/clueless governments in the west/ U.S who are training 'Syrian moderate rebels'. That's without talking about all the foreign fighters who flood from around the world in their ranks by the hundreds each day. So if you think they will be dead in 2 years, thrn im afraid that's wishful thinking. As far the Syrian civil war(more like geo political war) continues (which im sure it will for years) and Iraq remains unstable, ISIS will keep finding a fertile ground to grow and rule(unlike Al Qaeda who never ruled/hold territority at all). I'm sure Al Qaeda must be very jealous of ISIS popularity/power/influence today, since nobody even talks again about Al Qaeda. Jihadists jealousy.

And someone tell these morons that Islam agrees with democracy too! The first caliph, Hazrat Abu Bakr, was ELECTED as a leader by the people of Makkah.

As much as i will like to agree with you, but then again, almost all/majority muslim countries are hardly a bastion of real free democractic elections, first of which is Saudi Arabia and the gulf countries the center of Islam, which is still an absolute Monarchy(though they want freedom and democracy for the Syrian people) and will remain that way for decades to come. So ISIS isnt that far off from the truth on this one.

 

[Selous]

all/majority muslim countries are hardly a bastion of real free democractic elections,

That is because your governments support these monarchies and dictatorships...and when a Muslim country begins to make progress western champions of the free world and their sazishain come along with a dose of this democracy.

Like gaddafi, saddam, taliban, Islamic state??

 

[Mirza Jatt]

The society in India is much different than what people perceive. Not saying India doesnt face any threat, ocourse we do, just like any place on where there are muslims. But if seen closely one can find that Indian Muslims are much more sensible when it comes to understanding what is the right path and what is terrorism in the name of religion. I think the right education and the values that an individual gets during their upbringing plays a very vital role and Indian Muslims have both, thus you hardly see any Indian muslim in ISIS.

Gaddafi, Saddam and the Taliban were legitimate rulers...ISIS...tell me what exactly is the West doing to "degrade and destroy" ISIS...hell they are even supplying those guys with weapons and training.
