The ISIS Described by the US Media as a Sunni Muslim M*****a is Made in America. It has Nothing to Do with Sunni Islam By Prof. Henry Francis B. Espiritu, March 19, 2015
http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-isis-described-by-the-us-media-as-a-sunni-muslim-m*****a-is-made-in-america-it-has-nothing-to-do-with-sunni-islam/5437339
As a lifetime student of classical mainline Islamic jurisprudential school of thought called Sunni fiqh, I feel saddened to note how the Western mainstream media succumbed to the Islamophobic propaganda of affixing the epithet Sunni to the m*****a of the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
I can confidently say that ISIS is not Sunni because all that ISIS has done is to contravene the ethical teachings of Sunni Islam.
I consider Sunni Islam as the normative Islam practiced by the disciples of the Prophet Muhammad, who are called Sahabah (model companions) and the righteous caliphs Al Khalifah Rashidun (The Rightly Guided Caliphs) who were democratically elected by the whole Islamic Ummah (community). When the Islamophobic Western media equates ISIS barbarity and inhumanity to the normative Islamic term Sunni (which literally means followers of orthodox Islam), the Western media is simply serving US Hegemonic interests: by ensuring that neo-colonial and hegemonic forces will continue unabated the rising Islamophobia against Muslims and by effectively maligning Sunni Islam which is the prevalent school of Islamic jurisprudence in the Middle East and the rest of the Muslim world.
I can honestly attest that as per my readings of Shariah principles of the Four Imams of Sunni Islam (Imams Abu Hanifa, Shafii, Malik and Ibn Hanbal) who were the eminent jurisprudents of classical Sunni Islam, I have never encountered any of their treatise justifying barbarism and inhumanity that are now being perpetrated by ISIS.
In fact, these Four Imams of classical Sunni Islam through their treatises strongly detest the barbarity of the ISIS m*****a. Here are six (6) reasons why the entire ISIS war outfit cannot not be considered a Sunni movement and should never be called Sunni m*****a, and therefore Western mainstream media should not and must not commit Islamophobic name-calling, and must therefore stop referring to ISIS as Sunni m*****a:
1.) ISIS destroyed many holy shrines of Sunni Muslims in Iraq and Syria, including the shrine and mosque of the Prophet Yunus (Jonah) of Ninawa (Nineveh), Iraq and the shrine of Prophet Ayyub (Job) in Oz, Mosul, Iraq; to mention a few. They destroyed holy graves of Sufi-Sunni Muslim saints in and around Mosul and Kirkuk in Iraq and in Damascus, Aleppo and Kobane in Syria.
2.) The Holy Quran declares that Muslims are forbidden to destroy places of worship of all religions; and particularly, the shrines of the Ahl-ul-Kitab (literally, People with Sacred Scriptures) i.e., Jews and Christians must be held inviolable and must even be secured by Muslims (Al-Qur-an 22:40-41), and yet ISIS barbarically destroyed Christian churches. Also, Islam in the Holy Quran solemnly declares that there should be no compulsion in religion (Al-Quran 2:256), and yet this ISIS m*****a are forcing Yezidis and Christians to convert or else face death. This is very strange: there is no news that records that Jews were forcibly converted by ISIS and synagogues around Mosul, Aleppo, Kirkuk and in cities of North Iraq were never destroyed by ISIS, even though there are resident Jews and there are a number of synagogues in these areas. This is a strange thing indeed! (See, The Majlis: Council of Ulama in South Africa; p. 8.)
3.) The Shariah Islamiyyah (Divine Law) of classical Sunni Islam are found in the Holy Quran and the Holy Quran clearly says that civilians and non-combatants lives are inviolable: (Al-Quran2:256, 5:69). As of this juncture, to quote from the Holy Quran is in order: Allah forbids you to fight those who did not oppress you, nor threw you out of your homes, you ought to show compassion on them and manifest justice upon them. Verily Allah loves those who are just (60:8). The k*****g of innocent non-combatants is forbidden in all Sunni rulings concerning defensive warfare. Sayyidina Abu Bakr al-Siddiq, the first Caliph of Sunni Islam penned this ruling to the armies of the Caliph**e: I instruct you in ten matters: Do not k**l women, children, the old, or the infirm; do not cut down fruit-bearing trees; do not destroy any town and do not touch those who do not bear arms, do not k**l those who surrender and take refuge in the designated places of refuge, all who surrender to you must be safe in your care. (See Imam Maliks Muwatta, Kitab al-Fatawah-ul-Jihad-e-Abu Bakr Siddiq [The Book of Abu Bakr Siddiq on the Proper Conduct of Warfare], pp. 37-39.).
4.) As far as my research goes, there are no Sunni scholars (ulama) and legitimate Sunni muftis and fuqaha (Islamic jurists and doctors of Islamic law) among the so-called ISIS Caliph**e to clearly establish legitimate fatwas (Shariah rulings) on the legitimacy of their jihad from the Sunni Islamic perspective. There is not even an ustadh (Islamic scholar) of eminence among their ranks! The t***h is that eminent Sunni scholars of Iraq and Syria have denounced ISIS for k*****g over 300 Sunni imams: which effectively belied the ISIS claim that it represents itself as the protector of Sunnis in Iraq and Syria. Many Sunni clerics in Iraq and the Levant declare ISIS combatants as outside the bounds of Islam and are therefore excommunicated from the Islamic faith because of their brutality inflicted on non-Muslims and on Sunni Muslims
(See: www.breitbart.com/national-security/2014/07/03/sunni-mufti-isis-and-affiliates-have-k**led-over-300-sunni-imams-and-preachers/).
5.) Using the classical rulings of Sunni Islam on governance as basis of legitimacy, the so-called ISIS Caliph**e is illegitimate. Genuine and bonafide Sunni Caliph**e is established by the expressed consensus and consent (al-mushshuwara al jamaah) of the whole Islamic community by explicit public allegiance (bay-ah) of the whole body of Muslims. ISIS has unilaterally declared their so-called caliph, Al-Baghdadi as Khalifah-ul-Muslimin (Caliph of all Muslims) clandestinely and covertly, in which the whole Muslim Ummah did not participate in his e******n, nor choose him to be its caliph, nor give him pledge of allegiance!
6.) ISIS was only able to successfully recruit combatants from Europe to wage war in Iraq and the Levant, but it failed to enlist the grassroot support of Iraqi and Levantine Sunnis. Furthermore, it failed to enlist allegiance of the Sunni Arab and Kurdish clergies who strongly denounced ISIS as outside the pale of the Islamic faith
(See: www.breitbart.com/national-security/2014/07/03/sunni-mufti-isis-and-affiliates-have-k**led-over-300-sunni-imams-and-preachers/).
In fact most of these ISIS m*****a are Australians, British, Americans, Belgian, French, German, Chechens, who mostly came from Europe, so that most Iraqis and Syrians regard ISIS as an alien power forcing and imposing themselves and their barbarity upon Arab lands with their sophisticated weaponries and ammunition that are mostly sourced from US, Britain and the rest of Europe.
If ISIS is not a Sunni m*****a, then who are they working for?
Who employed them to wreck havoc in the Middle East?
Why is it that the US government and its NATO allies cannot seriously fight ISIS in Iraq, Syria and the rest of the Levant? ISIS is US-made monster! ISIS Caliph**e is never an Islamic Caliph**e.
It is a U.S.-made Caliph**e that does not have any binding authority whatsoever over worldwide Muslims.
It is known t***h that CIA constantly backs-up and supports all known so-called jihadist groups from the Taliban of Afghanistan and Pakistan, to even Jemaa Islamiyya and Al-Qaeda in the Middle East, and the Boko Haram of Nigeria.

What this article really exposes is that radical Islam is a result/creation of the PTB, serving massive wickedness.
Many alliances being made for behind the scenes reasons.
Chaos, and power through chaos being one of them. Pure self serving wickedness. Thugs being used and being paid for it all.
The PTB, the string pullers are at the root of it all, and the bought MSM will keep the sheep pointing fingers, and missing who the perps are.
Forming the state of Israeli, under false pretenses, has caused all this chaos and destruction. All planned for by those working for the Father of all lies.
Settling non Hebrews there to run things there; as it is being run.
It will take Yahweh to correct this a*********n.

The 1939 F**g Of Palestine Further Proof That All Israel Belongs To The Jews
Geri Ungurean | March 25, 2015
The Muslim world, and even much of the rest of the world, would have you believe that Israel does not belong to the Jews but to the so-called Palestinians. Its a lie from the pit of hell.
The fact is that Palestine is Israel the Jewish homeland.
After the Romans conquered the Jews in the Jewish-Roman wars, the Romans renamed Israel after the Jews worst enemies the Philistines in order to further humiliate them. The term was first used to denote an official province in c.135 CE, when the Roman authorities, following the suppression of the [Jewish] Bar Kokhba Revolt, combined Iudaea Province with Galilee and the Paralia to form Syria Palaestina.
It was a Roman Emperor who first coined the name Palestine
In AD 135, the Emperor Hadrian blotted out the name Provincia Judea and renamed it Provincia Syria Palaestina. This was the Latin version of the Greek name and soon became a name to be used as an administrative unit. This name was shortened to Palaestina and the name Palestine was derived from it as a modern and anglicized version.
In other words, it was always Jewish.

Too bad Israelis are not Hebrews.
Ashken**i, Mongol Turks, and Edomites, acting like the Devils advocates.
This is the warning to God's servant people: Revelation 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
Matthew 7:18
By their fruits you should be able to identify them.
Israel was to be a servant people; and a blessing unto all nations. America used to be. Now it is h**ed for what its foreign policy has been doing to "spread democracy".

OB is just continuing what has been going on for decades.
OB is a stooge doing a mighty fine job.
The perfect tool; to divide and conquer.
All in the zio plan.
America must be brought down, to be folded into Bilderberger's NWO.
Don't just blame OB!
Blame his handlers.
Blame those that got him elected (Big money and the MSM)
Blame the Banksters (the PTB)
and
Blame the NeoCON leadership of the Republican Party; the ones that fixed their "nominations". So people have to hold their noses when they v**e for "the lesser of two evils".
Works every time.
