Evil has many faces, if you slay one, the other is waiting to take its place, and it is not good news for the world at large. When the world thought that the end of Osama would wipe away terrorism, up came ISIS with new a definition of terror. Some speculate it is a worse scenario than the Osama outfit depending where their loyalty lies. Never the less, ISIS is a group of deranged people who rant of atrocities piled upon the Muslims by the western Christian countries including America.
The objective of the ISIS fanatics is simple, creation of an Islamic State beginning from their home ground in the Arab world. After accomplishing their mission impossible, next step is to take over rest of the world. It is ambitiousness at its best which over estimates its own capability and underestimates the opposition.
If ruthlessness and brutality are the parameters of weight the effectiveness of a terrorist outfit, ISIS could well be the group deserving a pat. Recently Ali Hussein Kadhim, one lucky survivor managed to dodge a bullet in a massacre orchestrated by ISIS in Tikrit, Iraq. He narrates the horrific acts of the outfits, and claims the Iraqi soldiers were unceremoniously paraded through the streets only to be shot dead in cold blood. While ISIS claimed moral victory over the evil forces opposed to Allah by killing over 1,700 Iraqi soldiers in one day. The satanic beheading of American journalists is another chilling story and message to the western world, terrorism is here to stay.
In the city of Raqqa in Syria which fell in ISIS’s hand, the terror group exhibits its future vision of governance which the western world lacks. There are public crucifixions and executions for those who don’t comply with Islam, and there are lashings for women who are not fully covered. Then there are tortures and imprisonment for those who keep their businesses open during the prayer timings or smoke cigarettes.
Though, with anti American sentiments running high in the Muslim world finding recruits to grind axe with America is never challenging. It is estimated that there are at least 100 Americans who have changed loyalty and joined ISIS. So, how long will it America take to fight back? President Obama can answer that, though a US official has revealed the ground work is underway and reconnaissance flights are conducted over Syria the stronghold of ISIS whose dreams of glory may soon turn into nightmares.
Religion is a bane to humanity and the world, history speaks of countless wars, crusades and jihads which have been fought in the name of religion, killing, and filling the cup of sorrow of billions of people around the world. Religion has created divisions between people which are more powerful that any manmade boundary. Hence folks, it is time to renounce all religions or rather practice one – Humanity.
