4) They Have Alienated Other Muslims (4 of 10)
On one hand, it may be considered a great accomplishment of ISIS that they have somehow someway managed to alienate everyone. But, on the other hand, this is what makes them the most vulnerable. In their puritanical struggle to bring back the 1400-year old original Islamic values, ISIS has alienated almost all other Muslim religious groups.
Their natural enemies are the members of the Shia sect who they consider to be an abomination on the face of the earth. So, in one swift proclamation, they antagonized the second largest branch of Islam. Other members of the, much larger, Sunni sects refer to sacred texts to condemn the actions of ISIS which are allegedly based on sacred principles. ISIS itself belongs to the Salafi movement – a Muslim sect characterized by a literalist and narrow interpretation of Islam. However, even other Salafists, such as those in Saudi Arabia are horrified by their use of violence on such a massive scale.
This can all change in an instant if the right person gains power. Nothing is doomed until it’s over. It seems they have no shortage of income and it has to come from somewhere, so I think there are more supporters out there than we may think.
I think the only True Reason why these groups of religious fanatics won’t win because they believe in FALSE GOD AND FALSE TEACHING. The True God Of the BIBLE HELPED ITS BELIVER.
1 Kings 20:28-30 KJV
[28] And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the Lord , Because the Syrians have said, The Lord is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord . [29] And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day. [30] But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
