    Some good news about the Yazidis: http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/10/kurdish-rebels-yazidi-iraq-isis
    Quote
    At least half of the 40,000 people besieged by jihadists on a mountaintop in northern Iraq have escaped in the past 24 hours, aided by Kurdish rebels who crossed from Syria to rescue them...

    Which side are you on?

    Isn't this going to make most muslims think that the world, especially america, is really just full of devil worshipers?

    They already think that yazidis are devil worshipers, now they'll think, when isis attacked christians, 'so called' christians never came to their aid. Now a bunch of devil worshipers get attacked, and the big shaitan america has to protect them.

    Or maybe Muslims around the world will think going around taking towns with your newly-looted weapons and then forcing Christians, Yazidis and Shias to convert or die is not acceptable in the 21st century.

    ISIS is composed of "Muslims around the world". Not all of them, obviously, but it's rather worrying how widespread their support is. You would think they would be immediately condemned by anyone sane enough to live outside a padded cell, but apparently not.

    I wasn't referring to ISIS when I said "Muslims around the world".

    I must say, I'm happy to see ISIS get pounded from US airstrikes, and I'm happy that this pounding likely to go on for a long time.

    I dont think they have any widespread support for their tactics, also I haven't noticed large support for them outside of salafi community.
    Another thing to point out is that their propagandists, online, are lying and trying to deceive any muslim or nonmuslim who expresses concern. They say that the yazidis are not going to be harmed, neither are the christians. And then you have those fools believing them. I expect them to grow more unpopular over time, and I think they already are to a large degree

    Still, there has been a very muted response from Muslim leaders around the world regarding ISIS's convert-or-die policy. Remind me of that verse again... oh.. There is no compulsion in religion innit. parrot

    It depends on what you mean by muted. In real life, the muslims I know are all against IS or Isis& official leadership in muslim organizations in the country I live in have condemned it. But I guess you could say the muslim organizations could do more.

    Not being agitated by Islamic scripture is the second best part of leaving Islam...the first being not having wudhu before sleeping and remembering that you haven't prayed Isha and then think... oh thats right I dont believe in that shit anymore.=)

    I wonder how the apologists will weasel out of this one. Now that ISIS is taking women as war booty and killing those who aren't "people of the book" sahaba-style. How can they coherently argue against Mo's sunnah? 

    Anyway, people have been saying that while ISIS was going around killing Muslims, there was no outrage but as soon as they started targeting Christians, everyone screamed "genocide" and the U.S. came to help. Personally, I think it's more due to people killing their own people being seen as very different from a group trying to wipe out a minority.

    Im just bothered with how many of them try to trick ordinary people , whether muslim or nonmuslim, to think that the media is only distorting their image. Most of the time they start out believing I'm a muslim saying ''you shouldn't trust the media'' or quoting the quran on not trusting 'fusaq'. I think that among the Salafi jihadis,even though most of them are not, there's a disproportionate number of clinical psychopaths. Earlier I linked to one of those.

    One of the pro-ISIS people on my fb posted that they were righteous Muslims fighting for Islam and all the stories of atrocities are made up and part of a Zionist conspiracy to discredit them. How common do you think that is, Skywalker? I remember Muslims saying that about the Taliban in the past.

    Everything that puts IS in a negative light is denied, even if they believe in those things. That includes stoning. They're quick to use international media when it favors them but deeply oppose using the same sources when it doesn't.

    Jizya is only for ahl al kitab.  (Though historically, caliphs and sultans have included other  groups out of convenience.)

    They don't believe that for pagans,alawites and shia, atleast if they adhere to the view thats common among salafi jihadis and other salafis, which is the same opinion as ibn taymiyyah&many others.

    Usually this is how it ends when there's some discussion on IS crimes.

    Could you imagine if this shit were actually real. Could you imagine ISIS gaining control through the aid and victory of the Lord of the Universe? Could you imagine a world where these savage psychopaths prevail and, with God's help, massacre every member of every ancient faith, every atheist scientist, and every irreligious musician. Could you imagine a mahdi or a Messiah coming down to help these barbarians impose their simplistic world views and backwards, hateful ideologies across the entire planet, bringing us back to politics of the 7th century and plummeting our world into chaos? Every Muslim should be asking themselves some really serious and practical questions about what have up until now been very abstract ideas about Islamic domination.

    I hope that is what happens. I hope more people find themselves unable to reconcile doctrine and tenets with the realities and necessities of a moral life.

    Nothing registered for me until I realized that the Islamic system was horribly incomplete and unjust and therefore could not be Divine, not to mention how it should never have been "sealed".  Now we have the living proof of that on screen.

    I feel the same. How do devout Muslims argue that jizya, killing infidels who aren't ahl-al-bayt, the taking and rape of infidel women in war, etc is against Islam? It's exactly what Mo and the early Muslims did. It's not "theoretical" anymore, a caliphate has been established and Islamic supremacy is being imposed. This is why Islam badly needs a proper reformation rather than apologetics on the grounds that "it's all theoretical".

    Cognitive dissonance explains it all. Anyone can spin a horrible system into a utopia with enough effort. After all this is what apologists do as a living. Heck I could spin National Socialism into a utopian system if I wanted to.
