Introduction:
ISIS propaganda is now the world’s most complex topic. Today we will give a clear concept about ISIS propaganda vs reality.
The recent politics of the Arab world are very much discussed today due to various reasons, including the rise of the Islamic State militant group under Sunni influence in Iraq and the declaration of the establishment of a caliphate by its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi over the entire Muslim world.
In this context, airstrikes continue to protect the minority Yazid community near the Sinjar Mountains in Kurdistan, Iraq, from the Islamic State or IS militants. In the meantime, IS militants have killed around 700 people in the Yazid community.
So just as Al Qaeda, and Taliban are a threat to Muslim countries along with other countries, ISO is a threat to the Muslim community. Because there are allegations, Israeli intelligence agencies have trained them. As a result, it is not surprising to see them coming against the interests of the Muslim community.
ISIS Propaganda vs. Reality: How Terrorism Threatens Muslim Communities:
The emergence of Islamic State militants occurred just as Al Qaeda militants continued their activities by splitting into different groups in the Arab world. Now what will be the relationship of Al Qaeda militants with them is also a matter of discussion. Because Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden or Mullah Omar called for jihad but did not talk about the establishment of a caliphate.
Their main target was to reduce US hegemony. But the rise of IS and the declaration of caliphate by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi changed the whole scenario. For good reason, the ongoing politics of the Arab world is one of the topics of discussion at the moment. So, with good reason, the question is whether IS is a threat to the Muslim world. Discussed below:
1. ISIS: Rise of a Sunni Caliphate
In recent times, an organization called ‘The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria’ (ISIS), now known as IS, has emerged following the Iraqi civil war. They belong to the Sunni community. And its leader is Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi who has called for a caliphate and declared himself the caliph of the Muslim world.
In Shiite-dominated Iraq, they not only want to overthrow the ruling government; Instead, they want to establish an Islamic state with Iraq and Syria. The state will be run entirely based on the original Islamic system of governance.
Already, a large part of Iraq has been captured by IS guerrillas. In the latest incident, these militants have also captured the largest oil refinery in Syria. As a result, the world community is vocal about them as well as the negative impact on the Muslim community.
2. ISIS Threat: US in Limited Action Mode
The most interesting thing about the IS invasion is that the leftist administration did not come forward to help the ruling former Maliki government in Iraq. The US military has expressed its inability to send troops to Iraq again to prevent the invasion of IS. Some US troops have been sent there.
But that was done only to ensure the security of the US embassy and embassy staff. Air strikes have been carried out. But it is to protect a community. As a result, the behavior of the United States is also suspicious. The rise of IS is brand new and the organization’s call for a caliphate has sparked a new debate.
3. The word IS raises many questions.
I. How religious is the call to establish the caliphate or how much is its reality?
II. What is the real purpose of IS?
III. Will the US and the Western world look at this call? What will be their roles?
IV. What is the reaction in the traditional Arab world, especially in Saudi Arabia?
Al Qaeda was born with the call of so-called Jihad. They were involved in terrorist activities, making suicide bombs to establish Islam, and conducting terrorist activities. Islam is no longer a name for challenging the conventional social order. We did not preach Islam. Islam would not be established if those who once came from Arab countries spread Islam in world trade countries with AK-47 rifles and destroyed the center like this.
As a result of this, Al Qaeda is being criticized as well as other communities of Muslims are going to be labeled as militant terrorists. At present, the rise of IS has further threatened the situation of the Muslim community as these organizations have branded the Western world and Muslims as terrorists.
4. U.S. vs. ISIS: ISIS propaganda
The war that the United States has launched against IS will affect every country. As a large area is under the control of IS militants, the current border between Iraq and Syria no longer exists. A new state called Sunnistan, a Sunni-dominated state consisting of central Syria and central Iraq, may become known as a jihadist state. This state will be under the control of IS militants.
It will be run in a strict Islamic spirit. Now the question is, will the United States and the Western world look at this potential state? A change is coming in US foreign and defense policy. The Republicans won the midterm elections.
As a result, they will adopt a tougher policy and force Obama to follow their policy. As a result, there is an immediate possibility of new pressure on the Muslim community, especially Syria, which is a threat to the Muslim community.
5. Kobani in Peril: US Joins Fight against ISIS
The new war started in the Middle East has left everyone in the face of big questions. Kobani has been under siege for almost five weeks. Kobani may fall to Islamic militants at any time. Kurds live here. They are the ones fighting against IS. The United States and 20 allied countries have now joined the war. IS’s advance has been somewhat hampered by continued US warplane bombardment.
Although weapons were dropped from US planes on the Kurds to help them fight Kurds, the US media reported that a large part of the weapons sent went under the control of Islamic militants. As a result, questions have already been raised about US intentions. Meanwhile, IS militants have entered within 9 miles of Baghdad. There is a big politics about protecting Kobani and regional politics is connected with this politics.
6. IS Spreads to N. Africa, Seizes Libyan City
The activities of the Islamic militant organization ARE or the Islamic State is no longer limited to Iraq and Syria. The activities of this militant organization have expanded to Libya, Egypt, and Tunisia. Even in North African countries, their activities can be seen. Although there are activities in other countries, the Libyan city of Darna is now completely under the control of the Islamic State. IS militants seized the city and declared it as IS’s Baraka province. Their warlike attitude has emerged as an image crisis for the Muslim community.
7. ISIS Threat Risks Painting All Muslims as Terrorists
As a result of the rapid growth of IS branches and aggression, the entire Western world, including the United States, may once declare that the Muslim nation is a terrorist, threatening the very existence of the Muslim community. Therefore, the existence of the Muslim community is going to be endangered as a result of this attitude of all kinds of Islamic militant organizations who consider themselves to be the backbone of the establishment of Islam.
8. IS Intervention: Flouting International Law?
The International Law Association adopted a law in The Hague in August 2010. It said, “Calls on all states to observe the distinction between situations of armed conflict as defined in international law and situation of peace in developing and carrying out policies involving the use of lethal force, detention and trials, asylum obligation and other relevant state action.”
That is, violating a country’s border is a crime under international law. But because of IS, the Western world and the US are easily flouting this law in the name of counter-terrorism and sending troops into an independent, sovereign country that threatens that country. Therefore, the entry of troops into Iraq and Libya, centered on IS, is a threat to them.
9. Bin Laden, the US launched a war on terror after 9/11 there is no reason to think that the killing is over. The former US President Bush (Bush Doctrine) gave a new explanation of the war against terrorism (Primitive attack) to strike the enemy before the enemy is hit and make it the last battle. And Obama reinvented it.
Muslims have been targeted by terrorism. Only Muslims are made terrorists. Jewish terrorists were not targeted. The Jewish state of Israel has committed crimes against humanity but no action has been taken against them.
So President Obama’s Humanitarian Intervention gave birth to a controversial decision. The most interesting thing is that he sent planes to Iraq without sending planes against Jewish terrorists whose intentions were clear.
The world is going through a complex equation. IS was created to disrupt the democratic process. But IS did not side with Hamas; Instead, it opposed Hamas. Therefore, the danger created by the rise of IS for the Muslim world is that US aggression will reappear in the Muslim world and pave the way for the deployment of US troops in Iraq. As a result, it is easy to imagine, who is the creation of IS and what is their real purpose.
Conclusion:
In fine ISIS propaganda is the reality. Recent studies have shown that militant organizations operating in various Muslim countries now openly support IS and have expressed interest in working with IS. Examples include Nigeria’s Boko Haram, the Philippines’ Abu Sayyaf group, and Pakistan’s Taliban group. Militancy is a global problem. The rise of IS in the Middle East has given a new direction. The Taliban have taken steps to establish an understanding with IS. As a result, the matter will take a dire shape. As a result, militancy will spread and a negative attitude towards the Muslim community will develop.
