As the Islamic State’s brutal atrocities continue to shock the world, one of the recent developments that has not been explored in-depth is the terror group’s recently released seventh edition of its English-language magazine titled Dabiq.
The document features an article that touches upon the end-times theology that experts claim drives the Islamic State’s ongoing rampage, with the text describing Islam as the “religion of the sword, not pacifism,” according to the Middle East Media Research Institute.
“The article also presents numerous verses from the Koran as well as prophetic hadiths that highlight Islam’s reliance on the sword in fighting its enemies,” the organization explained. “In that regard, ISIS notes that the sword will continue to be drawn against Islam’s enemies until ‘Isa (Jesus) kills the Dajjal (the Antichrist), after which, it adds, ‘Islam and its justice’ will prevail on the entire earth.”
CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen claims that Dabiq provides a “key window into understanding” the Islamic State’s ideology. Explaining the end-times theology that appears to be present in the aforementioned article, Bergen said that the terror group has an ideology of an “apocalyptic cult that believes that we are living in the end times and that ISIS’ actions are hastening the moment when this will happen.”

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Over.
I thought Islam believed Jesus to be a prophet but nothing special.
Either ISIS is very confused, or the 'expert' found a way to blame ISIS on Christianity.
I suspect the latter.
Since when did the Muslims accept Jesus Christ as their savior?
Zactly. I think this is likely to be some Christian bashing attempt.
‘Bout the same time they recognized Bob Evans as a prophet I suspect...
All we need to understand is how to kill them.
And then muster the gumption to do it.
From the pig’s mouth:

...We Muslims believe that one day the Antichrist will come, and then Jesus will descend from the heavens and slay him, and will live among the Muslims and rule them. During those times the earth shall be filled with justice and blessing...
How any one of those that beheaded another person can feel they’ve done the right thing is beyond my ability to understand.
I wonder if even one of them begins to question their religion. It is truly unimaginable.
But then again, I shouldn't be surprised.
Satan has repeatedly acknowledged the dominion of the Christ, so why wouldn't his religion?
The sausage guy? I didn't think they ate pork.
Interesting, you would think Mohammad would be the on,
Or Obama...
They don’t believe that.
Jesus was just minor prophet according to islamics, it’s mohamadd they are waiting for.
Some thing about him rising out of a well (probably the entery to tell)
Here’s the cut to the chase alli is satanic, islamics follow a pedophile who demands death where ever they go.
Nope
They don't. However, their version of J'shua plays a significant role in the return of the 12th Imam, depending upon the persuasion of the particular Moslem. Shia believe the 12th Imam will return to establish the caliphate. The Sunni believe the 12th Imam is the false messiah.
PLEASE do not Mr. Beck “bash” during this week that starts depending on what day, the Christian Lenten season. Thank-you!
Uh, that’s pretty much standard Sunni theology. Isa (Jesus) will come back to destroy ad-Dajjal (the antichrist) and usher in the end of the world.
So IS is murdering Christians to hurry up his return?
Don't forget that in the Islamic version of end times (as I understand it), Jesus will be serving Allah who I personally believe to actually be Satan. The Islamists have turned "The Holy Bible" upside down. Black is white, right is wrong, good is evil, etc, etc.
Islam is organized religious and political insanity.
Even wikipedia is pretty straightforward on Issa in Islam. You could just ask a local Muslim leader - they’re everywhere.
