ISIS has had a stranglehold over Iraq for quite a while now. They have proven to be ruthless in their violence, but one thing just doesn’t add up. ISIS have recently turned their attention towards historic sites around Iraq. Their alleged targets are said to be sites of Biblical importance. Late last month the terror group destroyed the tomb of Jonah located in Mosul, Iraq. The site isn’t just significant for Christians and Jews, it also is considered to be a sacred place by Muslims.

Islam forbids the destruction of anything that is sacred; this is why Muslims never destroy Bibles. Islam, Judaism, and Christianity share many sacred sites throughout the Middle East. The understanding between all faiths is that no one may desecrate nor destroy a Holy site.

ISIS has gone against the rules of Islam in their attack on the tomb of Jonah. Jonah is considered to be a great prophet amongst the three faiths, his tomb was off limits to acts of terror. Intel has found that ISIS could be planning an attack on the Holiest of sites in Islam, Mecca. Speaking with various Muslim scholars, I was told that attacks on anything deemed sacred went against Islam, even radical Islam.

Questions are beginning to arise about ISIS and if they are actually Muslims. On internet message boards, one theme is reoccurring, one simple question; “is ISIS the creation of the CIA?”

Conspiracy theories are nothing new when it comes to terrorists, 9/11 is still debated to this very day. There was even leaked information linking Osama Bin Laden to the CIA.

The only thing that anybody can do is speculate about the role that the US has played in the creation of ISIS. After searching through hundreds of leaked documents and cables, it was hard to prove that the US had any connection to ISIS. The lack of evidence doesn’t necessarily clear the US of any involvement, the information could be very well guarded. The United States has a long history of cover ups from Vietnam to what happened on 9/11. There is no telling if documents linking the US to ISIS will ever be released.

What we do know is that ISIS is violating the laws of Islam, and no Islamic terror group has ever done that before. ISIS was allowed to secure a foothold in Iraq without much military intervention from the US. They have access to powerful weaponry, not just the run of the mill AK-47s and homemade bombs. They seem to be pretty financially stable.

Given the above, one has to wonder how ISIS came to be. The United States has done little to fight them off or to eliminate them. Is ISIS aa project by the CIA? Why can’t they be stopped?

There are many questions you must ask yourself about ISIS. It is important to approach the concept with an open mind. Take your time and think about it, if nothing else it will help you to question everything.

    ISIS is true Islam. Muslims who are peaceful are using TAQQIA. Look at Islam’s History from the rise of Muhammad until present. I was always Kill, Kill, Kill. Become a Muslim or die. “THEIR FORTUNES AND THEIR WOMEN ARE YOURS TO ENJOY.” Muhammad told his followers. Islam is not a peaceful religion and you Muslims know it, and if you do not know this, then you are a Muslim in Name only.
