I was stunned and horrified the more and more I read. ISIS is truly getting their ways right out of their holy books. The Koran is a hard read and is not in chronological order, it is written based upon the length of chapters(weird).
The Sira is quite easy, as most biographies are, and it could easily be the script ISIS is following. Most Muslims have been born into their religion. But like all religions some people will not feel comfortable following all of its dictates. That is one of the reasons why there are moderate Muslims, they abhor some of the practices that are allowed by Muslims against not Muslims.
Since Islam is a religion that came out of Arabia, it was forced upon the cultures it conquered(i.e India, Irag, Iran,etc), thus it is not as embraced by the general population in some countries as it is in others. Pakistani Muslims are still influenced somewhat by being part of the British empire when Pakistan was still part of India.
Perhaps in the future this will be said of the European countries that have foolished invited it in.
I read up on the capture of Medina by Mohammed since last we spoke. Was somewhat familiar with it beforehand. Went over it in more detail.
The parallels to the modern conflict are quite stark. I don’t see how anyone could say that not knowing the history is a good thing.
They’re running the same battle plan.
