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.”

The Bible teaches against repetitive prayer.
ARF!
You need to get the sarcasometer recalibrated, LOL.
We’ll we know also that they can lie, if it helps them in the end. Tequa or something like that.
Jesus is according to them going to kill all pigs (peace and blessings be upon bacon), and break all crosses and kill Christians...
Islam believes in the return of the “Mahdi”.
I agree with your assumption.
I have said to my wife imagine belonging to a religion that requires you to lift dumbells 5 times a day. Every day of your life, and tells ou how many times and how much weight. .
Those adherants would be more muscular than the average person.
Praying 5 times a day focuses you on your religion.
Islam works that way with the mind. -Tom
They call him Jesus the Christ. They don’t believe he died on the cross, though, so there is no salvation through his sacrifice. They believe he will come again to save the world through the law (sharia).
