Instead, ISIS’s immediate enemies and targets should be apostates — a word that variously means turncoat, heretic, atheist, or infidel. The article then makes a historical reference to how Saladin (1137-1193), the Sunni Muslim military commander, had fought Shiite Muslims first before capturing Jerusalem. The implication is that ISIS should focus on fighting fellow Muslims who are “apostates,” and conquering countries like Iraq and Syria.
Note: ISIS is the
acronym for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. It has another
acronym, ISIL, favored by Obama, which stands for Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant. (The Levant is a geographical term that in its widest
historical sense included all of the countries along the eastern
Mediterranean shores, extending from Greece to Cyrenaica. Today, Levant
consists of the island of Cyprus, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria,
Palestine, and part of southern Turkey.) Daesh is the acronym of the
Arabic name for ISIL: al-Dawlah al-Islamīyah fī al-ʻIrāq wa-al-Shām.
Below is the Google translation (with some editing on my part to render it less gibberish) of the Arabic essay by Bassam Ramadan, “Daesh: Allah commands us not to fight Israel,” Egypt Independent, Sept. 7, 2014.
He
said the organization of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant
(Daesh), Allah in the Qur’an commands us not to fight Israel or Jews,
but fight the apostates and hypocrites
Daesh
said in a tweet on the page used to publish data and information
operations: “Question the Saudi people who defends Juggernaut. Does your
country kill the apostate. Apostles and companions, Ashraf people
ordered us to kill the apostate. (Note: Ashraf refers to someone who is a
direct blood-line descendant from Muhammad by way of his daughter
Fatimah.)
On questions about why Daesh
does not fight Israel but will fight the people of Iraq and Syria,
Daesh said in a separate tweet: “In the Qur’an, God speaks of the near
enemy and the hypocrites as more dangerous than the original
unbelievers. (Note: In the context of this essay, “original unbelievers”
is a reference to Jews.) The answer was at Abu Bakr’s feet while
fighting the apostates to open Jerusalem, which opened after the Umar
bin al-Khattab. (Note: Abu Bakr was the father of Muhammad’s
child-bride, Aisha, and a trusted advisor to Muhammad.Umar bin
al-Khattab, who was hostile to Islam before his conversion, succeeded
Abu Bakr as the second caliph.)
Daesh
added that “The answer is seen in what Saladin and Nur ad-Din did. They
fought Shiites in more than 50 battles in Egypt and Syria before
Jerusalem. Saladin was told: ‘Fight Shiites, the Ubaydi state in Egypt,
and leave the Roman Crusaders to occupy Jerusalem. Do not fight the
Crusaders.’ (Note: Saladin was the first sultan of Egypt and Syria and
the founder of the Ayyubid dynasty. A Sunni Muslim of Kurdish origin,
Saladin led the Muslim military campaign against the Crusader states in
the Levant. At the height of his power, his sultanate included Egypt,
Syria, Upper Mesopotamia, the Hejaz, Yemen and other parts of North
Africa.)
Daesh said: “Jerusalem will
not be liberated until we get rid of these idols, the likes of Al
Alinvtaiwih and all these families and pawns of [western] colonialism
that controls the fate of the Muslim world.”
Of course, if ISIS is
actually a creature of the CIA and the Mossad, as some claim — a claim
that I have avoided looking into, dreading what I might uncover — then
it’s a no-brainer why ISIS has not and will not fight Israel or Jews.
