The latest issue of Islamic State's online magazine targets the terror group's fellow Muslims even more than the West.
Dabiq, as the English-language publication is called, devotes a majority of the 56 pages in the latest issue to justifying the killing of Shia Muslims. In numerous articles, the magazine goes to great lengths to give a theological basis for killing members of the minority Muslim sect that controls Iran and Iraq and has been at odds with Sunni Muslims for over a millennia.
"The magazine spends so much time justifying the killing of innocent Shiites that it suggests that ISIL is frustrated that too few Sunnis favor sectarian massacres," Ryan Mauro, a national security analyst for the Clarion Project, said. "ISIS is making the argument because it sees a problem it needs to address."

The issue also touches upon other matters, including an article on the recently killed executioner for ISIS, "Jihadi John," an article praising the widows of ISIS fighters and a piece blasting Saudi Arabia.
But what is most clear throughout the issue is a concerted effort to wipe out the Shia population of the Middle East. At first glance, it may seem odd that ISIS is focusing its efforts against fellow Muslims and not the West, but Mauro says that it is part of a very elaborate ISIL campaign.
"It is still important for ISIL to attack the U.S. and Europe for branding purposes," Mauro said. "It helps them make their case that they are looked favorably upon by Allah and that they are growing stronger, regardless of whatever territorial losses they suffer on the ground.
"ISIL is hoping to enlist Sunnis by framing its jihad as part of a prophetic battle where the Shiites and Jews eventually unite behind the Antichrist."

So many nuclear solutions and so many pussy leaders in charge.
Yes yes. This is always how it goes. The Muslims attack the west, have some success, then get their noses bloodied and then immediately fall upon each other. Then it’s back to the 14th Century after they are done wiping out whatever prosperity they had.
Religious civil war ... what I have been saying all along.
Muslim vs Muslim has been going on more or less for 1,400 years.
I really do not see why this is such “news” for people.

Poor Islamist bast+-ds, they aren’t demonic enough.

To the Arab and Moslem world from “Western Civilization” -
DO YOU MISS ME YET?

Works for me.
Let them kill each other and Allah sort it out
“ISIL’s focus on justifying killing Shiites is because it is being pressed by Shiite forces in Iraq and Syria,” Mauro said.
Rage against the dying of the light as they might, death is coming for ISIS - unless they can get on public assistance in Europe, or a professorship in the USA.
The immam of the Mecca mosque said much the same thing last Friday.
