Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Egyptian political analyst: All Islamic groups and members support the Islamic State

Dec 21, 2015 10:49 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Dr. Ahmed Darag, an Egyptian political analyst, recently declared that “Every individual in every Islamic group in general, supports the Islamic State in one way or another.”

His comments came soon after it was revealed that Dr. Yasser Burhami—one of Egypt’s leading Salafis and vice president of the popular organization, the Salafi Call—was working closely and supporting the Islamic State.

Added Darag: “It’s well known and no one can deny it, not even Burhami himself, that a large number of Salafi leaders, as well as his disciples and followers, are currently in Syria fighting under the banner of the Islamic State, and they remain in continuous contact with Burhami and his organization.”

However, the Egyptian political analyst’s greater point was that it’s not just Burhami and the Salafis, but that all Islamic groups—presumably including the Muslim Brotherhood—are supportive of the Islamic State, for they all share in the same “extremist thinking.”

Although much diminished since the 2013 Egyptian revolution, the Nour Party, or political wing of the Salafi Call, remains active in Egyptian politics and has several seats in parliament.

    But remember: according to Hillary, banning islamic state supporters from entering the US of A makes people support the islamic state.

      Western elites lied to us about the ‘tiny minority’ of extremists.

      65% of Muslims have consistently polled their support for a CALIPHATE and Sharia…exactly what ISIS is offering.

      Why would Muslims disagree with ISIS?

    “Extremist thinking”?
    The UK government have helpfully defined what they mean by “extremism”.
    Point by point it neatly matches ordinary basic Islam.

    “…However, the Egyptian political analyst’s greater point was that it’s not just Burhami and the Salafis, but that all Islamic groups—presumably including the Muslim Brotherhood—are supportive of the Islamic State, for they all share in the same “extremist thinking…”

    The problem of the multi-headed hydra; even if we crush ISIS the ‘extremist thinking’ that underpins its mission may spawn other similar violent movements to assume its place.

    This is why it’s imperative for our part to become quite clear about what is not acceptable behaviour in the modern sphere and what we will do about it; the message should not be directed to ISIS, Al Qaeda and the leading known terror outfits but more broadly to all Islamic Organisations and States including Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

    Our expectations should be made clear even before we are in a position to act on the consequences.

    When the best, most progressive example of “modern Islam” is Saudi Arabia; and the Saudis just executed a man for writing poetry, and now they are set to execute a boy for criticizing a government for executing a poet – you pretty much know Islam and Sharia is a bunch of cow dung propagated by stupid cavemen.

      Since when is Saudi Arabia a model for progressive Islam? Who told you and that and where?

      Cow dung has its value as an organic fertiliser that promote growth of edible foods.

      Islam and Sharia are toxic and promote death and destruction wherever they are.

    This is important news for our Western elites:

    “the Egyptian political analyst’s greater point was that … all Islamic groups … are supportive of the Islamic State, for they all share in the same “extremist thinking.”

    Any group that proposes POLITICAL ISLAM is an ISIS group whether ultimately or in sympathy.

    65% of Muslims want Sharia law and a caliphate…what ISIS is providing.

    In other words, most Muslims have no philosophical differences with ISIS.

    The BBC of all places last week had a story on a report into the Syrian opposition groups that found that 60% were Islamist groups and a full third supported the aims and methods of Islamic State.
    Makes the prospects of a negotiated peace with Assad extremely remote as is finding a moderate faction that would support any sort of parliamentary democracy. If Assad stays you get one party state. If he leaves, you get a one party theocracy. Regime change! don’t you just love it!

      If Assad leaves, u will have multiple factions fighting for power, just like in Iraq n Libya.

    I never say islamic state. I always read and say: SATANIC STATE! These beasts, and beasts they are, do not worship the same GOD that the rest of us do. I grow very SICK of hearing that claim from both muslims AND the fools and crooks we habe in Washington, DC .
    There are only two possibilitys. One, the founder of their CULT, back in the 7th century, was an INSANE PSYCOPATH! (My humble opinion.) Or two, The cult was initiated by SATAN/THE DEMONS himself.
    Either way, it is an abominations! And needs to be cleansed from our Earth.
    As always, may God Bless America.

    that just is not true, in the same way most Christians have not read the bible, plenty of people self described as muslim have not (and usually can no) read the koran. – the real danger comes when they read the book if they have enough guts and dedication to do what it says.
