Zarqawi's Views On Quran And Shariah

The key drivers of uncertainty for ISIS in these scenarios include its ability to management its level fundamentalism and stability within its environment. Muslim conduct Islamic fundamentalism when they live and project on to others the original interpretation of Muhammed teachings. The most radical fundamentalism is Wahhabi or Salafist, supporting the conservative and extreme interpretation of the Quran and Sharia Law. ISIS uses its radical fundamentalist interpretation of Quran and Sharia Law to conduct its killing, caliphate and management its people. Due to its major combat losses, ISIS may want a less aggressive approach of fundamentalism to be more appealing to large portions of the Muslim community. The moderate fundamentalism approach used the both the uses the Quran and Sharia Law as well but used political governance or over more aggressive violence to achieve its strategic objectives. To regain personnel and strengthen its forces, ISIS may want to consider globalism over nationalism to improve stability. Although Globalism promotes international investment along with the spread of ideas and culture to other nations, ISIS may want to engage with Nationalism approach to strength it based in Iraq or Syria. All four scenarios review the importance of both fundamentalism and stability as major driving factors projecting the future of an uncertain

Qutb was one of the most significant figures in the development of jihadi Salafi ideology. Qutb in true Salafi style, reanalysed the Qur’an to find new ideology. Qutb acknowledge that the contemporary jama’at (movement) would also encounter periods of weakness. Therefore he insisted that here was an immediate need for a new movement. Qutb also constantly stated that there was a need for new leadership. He claimed that the new leaders should engage in jihad (struggle) against jahiliyya, so that a true Islamic state can be established. His teachings of jihad and the need to use force if the survival of the Islam was under threat, is being used today out of his context of time by extreme “terrorist” groups. Members of these radical groups say are not afraid to die for their cause because Qutb gave them reason: “For a pious life is a life of struggle or jihad for Islam, and struggle means martyrdom”.

Islam extremists believe in "jihad" which is interpreted by traditional clerics and Muslim scholars, the word speaks of spiritual struggle against sin. This can include fighting an attacker, but when it does, it has specific rules that bar indiscriminate killing. The word can also refer to the believer's internal striving for self-improvement. But within the dictionary of Islamic extremists, it has connoted acts of exceptional violence against governments that are deemed as non-Muslim or inadequately Islamic. This has led to include the launching of deliberate attacks against innocent civilians, essentially, terrorism. From the perspective of totalitarian ideologues, societies that reject the call for total revolutionary transformation are

Extremist Muslims interpret jihad as war and believe they are obligated to install sharia, a form

Everyone knows who Osama Bin Laden is and about his horrendous lasting impact on our country and our planet, but have you ever wondered why someone would do something so awful? Osama Bin Laden became the world’s most wanted man because of his early life education, the forming of Al Qaeda, and his attacks on the United States in 2001. Bin Laden grew up in a good, very successful home, and then moved onto one of the most prestigious high schools in Jedda and was very successful. It was through an exclusive Islamic study group with a teacher where Osama learned “the principles of violent jihad” and that the Arab world should go by those rules “even if it meant supporting death and destruction” (Osama bin laden). These extreme views may have never

In his 1996 FATWA, Usama bin Laden placed personal responsibility upon each individual Muslim to unify and fight oppressive forces, particularly the United States. With this FATWA comes the distinction of the “near” and “far” enemy, an innovative philosophy utilized by bin Laden and Al Qaeda that illustrates the overarching oppressive nature of the United States to Salafi Jihadist sympathizers. Integrating this ideology into the Salafi Jihadist movement is particularly useful for terrorist organizations, as their fighters—particularly their suicide bombers—are ideologically validated for their actions, and are confident that they will receive a reward in the afterlife should they strike against the enemy.

Muslims, who are believers of Islam, are heavily dedicated to Allah, or their god. “The atomistic metaphysics of the Ash’arites created a fatal breach between cause and effect in the natural world. Fire does not burn cotten; God does. Gravity does not make rocks fall; God does. To say that a rock fall because of gravity is an act of shirk…”(Reilly) Shirk, as stated in the evidence, means to neglect or avoid a duty or responsibility. Which means that muslims have to believe that Allah causes everything. Along with believing that everything is caused by Allah, they also think that their death is what Allah wants as well. “Speak with any American soldiers who have served with Iraqi troops, and you will find that the Iraqis will resist things as simple as wearing seatbelts or kevlar vests...if my time has come as decreed by Allah, the seat belt or the kevlar vest is not going to save me. If my assigned time has not come, why do I need to use the seat belt or wear a kevlar vest”(Reilly). Because they think that death will come to them no matter what, and in anyway shape or form.This kind of thinking makes them blame ISIS murders on Allah, or ISIS’s attacks saying that that's what Allah wants. ISIS also believes that Allah will punish anyone who has sinned, and reward those who haven’t. “Whether it is an Asian tsunami or American hurricane, Ash’arite muslims will explain it in terms of God’s punishing sinners for their disobedience. Therefore Allah punished the United States with Hurricane Katrina for its interference in the muslim world. Also, Allah placed the oil under the sand of the Arabian Peninsula as a reward for following strict sharia law”(Reilly). Again, with that kind of thinking, ISIS can say that Allah told them to attack the US, or other countries. Them thinking Allah rewarding ISIS with oil

Osama bin Laden founded al-Qaeda in 1988 with the goal to rid Muslims countries of western influences and replace their governments with Islamic regimes. Born in an extraordinarily wealthy family, Osama bin Laden used his family’s money to found the terroristic organization. Abdullah Yusus Azzam was an influential Palestinian Sunni Islamic scholar who mentored bin Laden and persuaded him to come to Afghanistan. The main goals of al-Qaeda are to: spread Islam through the world with or without the consent of the occupants, destroy Israel and it’s affiliates, terrorize the United States of America, financially bleed the United States, and fight to defend the rights of Muslims. The organization’s numerous attacks against the United States, and all of humanity (except the Muslims) have changed the world’s perception of terrorism. There are numerous religious affiliates of al-Qaeda, some of which include, Sunni Islamism, Takfirism, and Qutbism. There are very few supporters of al-Qaeda’s beliefs and actions. Osama bin Laden issued a fatwa, a ruling point of Islamic law given by a recognized authority, which eventually amounted to a public declaration of war against the United States and its allies. There is a tremendous amount of confusion about the connections between the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Although the two have ties, they are completely separate and distinct groups who have different goals. Starting in the late 1980s, an international terrorist network, al Qaeda, changed the

Osama was against two things: Westernism and Judaism. Osama was a devout muslim, and was convinced that American and Western views were corrupting Islamic tradition. According to Elaine Landau, “The militant fundamentalists do not want Western corruption to infect the Muslim world.” He passionately believed in the Jihad, a war against enemies of Islam. The famous theorist stated, “Jihad is not confined to the summoning of troops and the establishment of huge forces. It takes various forms; from all the territories of Islam, there should arise a group of people reinforced with faith, well equipped with means and methods; and then let them set out to attack the

An act of terrorism has forever changed our nation from the moment it happened lasting forever. September 11, 2001 hijackers took control of four commercial airliners and purposely crashed two of the planes into the World Trade Center in New York. This attack killed thousands of people. It was a sight that had frightened millions as they watched from around the world. There is no direct answer as to which caused this. However, there are many beliefs of why this act of terrorism happened. There was and still is long lasting effects on what happened on 9/11.

Osama Bin Laden claimed he was Muslim and was fighting in the name of Allah. He believed all people the people who are not Muslim were bad and should be killed. But in the Quran, it is said that, “If you kill one person, it is as if you have killed all of humanity.” So Osama Bin Laden and all terror groups who claim they are muslim have/had the wrong words translated to them. The Quran is in Arabic, and not the Arabic most people talk nowadays, but a formal version. That is why most people derive the meaning of the Quran by understanding root words, but you have to be careful on how you put the definition into place. After all when you translate one language to another it usually does not make sense.

When the FBI asked Apple for help to unlock Syed Farook’s iphone to get information about a shooting in California which killed 14 people, Apple refused and this took the case to court. Two years ago in December a shooting occurred in San Bernardino California which killed 14 people. The shooter Syed Farook had an iPhone and The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) needed Apple’s permission to go into Syed Farook’s phone to find out information about the shooting. When Apple refused the case went to court. Apple did the right thing to refuse the FBI of going on Syed Farook’s phone. If the FBI were to go on to his iPhone it could possibly make people not want iPhones considering the FBI went on Syed Farook’s and that they can do it to

These females are more likely to support male relatives, educate the young in al Qaeda’s ideology, providing support for operations and assisting with finances. However, the female’s role changes when the female assumes the role of the male in suicide bombings, resulting in the supporting role becoming less effective. (White, 2012) Women who support al Qaeda are better educated than the males, and their interests tend more to the traditional roles rather than taking on an operative position. (White, 2012) As Bin Laden stated in his 1996 declaration of war, al Qaeda women were to motivate sons, brothers and husband in the encouragement of jihad. Furthermore, Bin Laden described women as victims of Western imperialism. (White,

The beginnings of ISIS,a Sunni jihadist group,can be traced back to 1999, when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, a Jordanian jihadist, started the group . In 2010, after ISIS’s second leader was assassinated, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi,a former scholar of Islamic studies and a US war prisoner back in 2004,took over and got the group back on track. He replenished their partially-killed-off leadership with dozens of Saddam’s old Ba’athist military personnel, who brought key experience to the group. Then in 2011, when the Syrian Civil War broke out, ISIS joined in as a rebel force,which helped to train and battle-harden the group. ISIS’s behavior in Syria was so brutal and severe that they even started creeping out the other groups, including al-Qaeda, who finally had a tantrum in early 2014 and cut all ties with ISIS. The ISIS, like all terrorist organizations, arose out of systems of discontent that made extremist ideology appealing. The extremist ideology of ISIS is an aberration of Islam marked by radical apocalyptic thought. The ISIS’s position is antithetical to Shia Islam, which believes that just as a prophet is appointed by God alone, only God has the prerogative to appoint the successor to his prophet (the caliphate).

One of the biggest mistakes that we have made as a country is believing that Islam is completely a religion of peace. Whether you believe that the past statement is true or false you cannot deny the existence of terrorists and those who wish to prey on and cause terror in the lives of the innocent. Terrorists only believe in themselves and their beliefs and will disown the thoughts of others on a whim.
