He says that the Islamic State follows Sharia. He offers specific explanations for why he thinks so. Those who insist that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam should refute him on the specifics, but of course their real objective is deceiving others or deluding themselves, not actually exploring the facts. Note also that Malik Fndy, as a PhD candidate, had plenty of education and job opportunities. He didn’t decide to support the Islamic State because he was alienated. He decided to support the Islamic State because he realized it was Islamic.
“Frankfurt-Based Syrian Activist Dr. Malik Fndy: ‘This Is Why I Support the Islamic State,'” MEMRI, January 7, 2016:
Dr. Malik Fndy, a Syrian from the Dar’a area who lives in Germany, posted a video on the Internet in which he explains his support for the Islamic State (ISIS). In the video, posted on January 7, Dr. Fndy claims that the Islamic State is the only state to implement Islamic law. He criticizes Middle Eastern regimes and sub-state entities, calling them “pigs” and accusing them of collaborating with “the infidels.” He accuses Western media of distorting the image of the Islamic State by not publishing their original and complete videos, where the reasoning behind the stoning of a woman or the burning of Jordanian pilot Moaz Kasasbeh, for example, is explained.
Dr. Fndy identifies himself in his social media accounts as a Syrian from Karak, near Dar’a, who moved to Germany to study mathematics at Darmstadt University of Technology. A 2012 Facebook post by the Coordination Committee of the Syrian Activists in Aid and Media in Germany describes Dr. Fndy as “very active in coordinating demonstrations, responsible for collecting donations for Dar’a, and [with] good media activity.”
Dr. Malik Fndy: “The first point that I would like to discuss is the reason for the emergence of the Islamic State, and the second point is why I, a simple Muslim, support the Islamic State and defend it.
[…]
“The Sunni Muslims in Syria and Iraq are being annihilated in a methodological and highly tactical fashion. Basically, it is America, the figurehead of heresy, that is responsible for that, along with its lackeys in the region.
[…]
“I would like to tell you why I support the Islamic State.
[…]
“About two years ago, when the Islamic State entered Syria, it became relevant to me and to any Syrian. Like everybody else, I began to hear… When videos were published, you would see them beheading people, lashing people, stoning people, killing people in any old way. They are famous for having multiple killing methods. As I was watching these videos, I said to myself: ‘What are they doing?!’ And they shout ‘Allah Akbar’ and say that they are doing it in the name of Islam… And, of course, they also cut off the hands of thieves.
[…]
“America and the world’s countries joined forces to fight the Islamic State. Saudi Arabia and some other Arab countries, whose rulers, I’m sad to say, are worse than pigs… The rulers of all the Arab countries are worse than pigs, headed by the Saudi Salul clan. They all ganged up against the Islamic State.
[…]
“I am not an expert on shari’a who can say whether [ISIS] is right or wrong, but I was convinced that if America turned against a group of Muslims, these Muslims must be in the right.
[…]
“Whenever a video was released by the Islamic State, all I would see was shouts of ‘Allah Akbar’ at the beginning, and the beheading of someone. Then more shouts of ‘Allah Akbar,’ and the video was over.
[…]
“I began to go on websites of Islamic State supporters, on Facebook, Twitter, regular websites… I began surfing there. I saw the videos and releases, which are posted on the websites watched by all the people. It turned out that they were not the same. The videos on the regular sites are excerpts from the original videos by the Islamic State.
[…]
“Take, for example, the video of Jordanian pilot Moaz Al-Kasasbeh, who was burned alive by the Islamic State. If you watch the video on YouTube, you only see the moment of his killing. You see them light the gasoline leading to Al-Kasasbeh’s cage, and then you see the fire closing in, until it burns him. And then you see a bulldozer covering Al-Kasasbeh with rubble. But when I watched the original video, I saw who Moaz Al-Kasasbeh was. At the beginning of the video, they provide a full explanation, and there’s a video of Al-Kasasbeh himself talking. They say: ‘This is Moaz Al-Kasasbeh, and he dropped bombs on Muslims, burned people…’ and there are images of burnt people. Civilians were killed there – women, men, elderly people, and children. They showed people who were burned by the bombs, which are tested only in our region, only on Muslims. They manufacture these weapons, and they need guinea pigs. By means of the Muslims, they burn Muslims. They showed how whatshisname burned people, how he demolished their homes with them inside, and they even showed someone’s burnt hand sticking out from under the rubble.
“Therefore, and in accordance with the shari’a, Al-Kasasbeh needs to be punished in the same way that he tormented others. Thus, because he had burned people, they burned him too, and because he had demolished people’s home with them inside, they piled the rubble from these homes on him. They didn’t even include the Islamic State’s threat to Jordanian pilots.
“So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you.” (Qur’an 2:194)
“In another video, you see them stoning a woman. People began to say: ‘ISIS is stoning pious Muslim women.’ This is what you see on YouTube. But in the original video, you see that the girl’s father was there, and they read out a message saying: ‘This girl committed adultery. This has been proven, and she herself has admitted it. Her father is here, as a witness,’ and so on and so forth. Therefore, the punishment according to the shari’a is execution by stoning. You can see the complete video on the [pro-ISIS] websites.
‘Umar said, “I am afraid that after a long time has passed, people may say, “We do not find the Verses of the Rajam (stoning to death) in the Holy Book,” and consequently they may go astray by leaving an obligation that Allah has revealed. Lo! I confirm that the penalty of Rajam be inflicted on him who commits illegal sexual intercourse, if he is already married and the crime is proved by witnesses or pregnancy or confession.” Sufyan added, “I have memorized this narration in this way.” ‘Umar added, “Surely Allah’s Apostle carried out the penalty of Rajam, and so did we after him.” (Bukhari, vol. 8, bk. 82, no. 816)
…“[ISIS] are in the right, I say, because they rule by the shari’a of our Lord. Do you know what that means? It means implementing the punishments of Allah. If you really want… Many people say: ‘I want an Islamic state, but not like that…’ What do you mean ‘not like that’?! Do you want an Islamic state after your own heart?!
[…]
“Oh Allah, please wreak vengeance upon the Salul clan. Allah willing, oh Salul clan, we will tread on your skulls in the land of Mecca, Allah willing.
[…]
“With the Islamic State, there is no such thing as appeasing the infidels. The Islamic State implements the shari’a of our Lord in its entirety, but Saudi Arabia, the rest of the Islamic countries, and even most of the Free Syrian Army, which is on Syrian soil – none of these implement the shari’a of our Lord. They appease the infidels, they are funded by the infidels, and their goal is to annihilate the Sunni Muslims. By God, their goal is to annihilate the Sunni Muslims. People, we should think this out and realize that this is inconceivable. We should rethink this and ask ourselves what the goal of the Islamic State is. By Allah, their only goal is for the banner of Islam to reign supreme.
[…]
“I pray for Allah to have mercy upon us and to accept us in Paradise. I pray for Him to guide us to the right path, and to support our brothers, the mujahideen in Syria and Iraq, and first and foremost, the soldiers of the Islamic State, of the Caliphate, led by the revered sheikh, Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi Al-Qurashi. Assalaam Alaykum. Allah’s Mercy and blessings upon you.”
“Darmstadt PhD student arrested for supporting ‘IS,'” by Darko Janjevic, DW, February 3, 2016:
The German police have arrested a Syrian graduate student in the country’s northwest. The 35-year old had posted an Arabic-language video proclaiming his support for the “Islamic State” group.
The Syrian citizen was detained in a “concentrated police action” and is facing a thorough investigation, authorities said Tuesday. The police indentified him as Malik F., a doctoral student based in Darmstadt.
Malik first drew public attention earlier this week when his online video started making rounds on social media….
The video, which was recently discovered and translated into English by the US-based Middle East Media Research Institute, came as a surprise to his colleagues in Darmstadt.
Malik was “respected as a colleague” and never “drew attention with extremist attitudes” said the Technical University spokesman Jörg Feuck to the newspaper, “Die Welt.”
According to the “Welt” report, the mathematician arrived in Germany in 2007, and was the recipient of a Syrian government scholarship for his PhD in mathematics until 2011.
“I love Germany” Malik stated just hours before his arrest, when contacted by reports from the regional broadcaster Hessische Rundfunk.
When asked if he approved of stoning of women, Malik answered: “That is our religion, I think our religion is good, of course.”…

You’re never going to see stories like this in MSM.

Muslim PhD candidate arrested for declaring his support for the Islamic State
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
By supporting IS he’s become a more *devout* muslim, and a true follower of probably the most notorious CRIMINAL that ever lived: moohamhead.
Rick Spencer says
Why do dickheads like this want to stay in Germany (or in Europe), when they can life blissfully in a dusty sharia-run paradise?
Charli Main says
They stay because it is their religious duty, mandated in the Koran, to turn Germany into a ” sharia run paradise”. He is a good Muslim whose objective is to turn Dar al Harb into Dar al Islam.
With the help of the ” mother of the Muslims ” and another million+ Muslims heading for Germany EVERY YEAR the German ” sharia run paradise ” is already on the horizon.
PS– Britain is not far behind and in fact could be leading the way. Mosques and Madrassas are spreading faster than the Zika virus.
Don McKellar says
now,now. frau Merkel has assured everybody that they are going to have to leave once a year of sucking money out of German taxpayers is over! so let us not jump to conclusions.
Don McKellar says
Oh, whoops, she’s changed her position the other day. Now it’s “when the war in their region is over”. See? Nothing to worry about.
What’s 50 BILLION EUROS when you can help out the friendly moslems? Worth every last dollar, I’d say.
Ariel says
You are dead right. IS this man still kept alive instead of being sent to paradise of sharia, the fucking evil law of Satanic Allah
Christianblood says
Rick Spence says
(…Why do dickheads like this want to stay in Germany (or in Europe),..)
Because they have an agenda and their agenda is to islamize Europe and the West and promote sharee’a and evil islamic hate and they are succeeding it and getting lots of support from the Western governments/societies.
nicu says
Don’t forget the benefits they get here : more than we germans ourselves !
For doing NOTHING not even speak a single word German : they build houses and kindergardens for them , they get shopping by taxi , even to doctors ( and the taxpayers pay for it ) free housing , pocket money – leased cars and smartphones ( fee paid by taxpayers ) etc !
Christianblood says
And Swedish churches are raising money to build mosques for muslim in Sweden: http://www.christiansinpakistan.com/swedish-church-to-collect-funds-to-build-mosque/
Mockingjay says
What you talk about really enrages me. I know there are many, many poor people in Germany who barely know how to survive on what little money they have. And their numbers have been increasing over the past years. With that knowledge, it is especially sickening to hear about all the things that refugees just get. Really enraging and sickening.
I’ve come to the conclusion that Germans as a nation suffer from so much post – WWII – collective guilt that they are traumatized by it and as a result developed severe self-hatred. Germany will do anything to try and relieve that terrible burden of guilt. It will willingly self-punish, even to the point of self-destruction.
You cannot expect such a severely traumatized person or nation to make rational decisions. I think therefore they need to be relieved of their leading role in Europe, and fast, before they succeed in their selfdestruction, and take Europe with them. The third time.
SpiritOf1683 says
Sweden seems to be burdened with that same guilt as Germany, and they haven’t been at war for 209 years.
Mockingjay says
I’m not saying that guilt is the SOLE reason for the way countries are behaving, I’m just saying that I think it plays a big role in
Germany’s “national psyche”.
And after all – it was Germany who declared open borders last fall, and it is Germany that still refuses to limit the numbers of migrants it is allowing in.
dave says
So this nut is saying do unto others as are done to you. So we should agree to throw you lot off buildings rape your sons daughters and wives. Cut off their hands feet etc , in fact drag everyone back to the stone age just like you lot do to every country you assimilate. Nothing has changed with islam since the 7th century when Mohammed was killing raping and castrating everyone in his path .He was also a slave trader taking other humans as trophies , abusing raping and giving his army permission to rape boys.Didn’t he take a 6 year old girl as his wife? Is this is the best islam can do as a prophet? No wonder they don’t want anyone drawing a picture of (him) it!
No Fear says
Ditto.
Charli Main says
We also need to start taking back the lands the Muslims drove us out off. That’s the whole of North Africa, the near East and ” Turkey”.. After all one of Islam´s tenets is “drive them from where you were driven out ”
Well, Dave, whats sauce for the Muslim goose is sauce for the Christian gander.
SpiritOf1683 says
The way things are going,we’ll need to start taking back our own countries by the middle of this century.
DP111 says
We should have done after WW1, once Britain had destroyed the Ottoman empire.
RCCA says
Just goes to show how religion can make people stupid. He can’t see that while adultery is harmful killing someone for doing it is barbaric. And the guy lives in Germany, no less.
Of course I could also cite stupid practices by religious Christians and Jews as well. But Islam goes above and beyond in proving the point.
Dom107 says
Yes RCCA it truly is a weird phenomenon the effect of religion on the human mind. One would have thought that by 2016 it would have totally disappeared from the human pyshe.To hear Muslims and Christians spout out their total BS amazes me.Christianity has long been in decline and one hopes that educated young Muslims will turn away from this malfunction of the human brain.Education is not always an antidote to this psychopathy as we had an example of a hospital doctor some years ago in Glasgow trying to blow up the airport but only managing to immolate himself.
I think it’s all related to mans tribal evolution which had some survival value in the early evolution of the human species but has outlived its usefulness.It is kept alive by parents handing it on to their children and we are programmed to believe our parents as we intuitely believe they would not tell us falsehoods.Unfortunately they unknowing and innocently do!??
salim says
By default, Muslims (in their real feelings) are generally supporters of the Islamic state unless they denounce Islam (apostates) or become openly secular. This is true regardless of opinion polls or what Muslims say on TV. ( Exceptions must be made for Shia, Ahmadis, Sofi because they are different types of idiots, and they are a small minority).
Why is it impossible for officials, and westerners in general, to get this right?
Dom107 says
Yes I think you are probably right.The problem for government in countries which have allowed an Islamic population to built up is that they would have to discriminate against their own citizens who have these feelings like shutting down mosques and making it illegal to follow Islam.England used to do this 450 years ago against Roman Catholics who were considered to be agents of Rome or one of the Catholic powers of Europe and had the execution of traitors much worse than what ISIS mete out called hang,drawing and quartering.a slow humiliating and painful death.The head was often stuck on a bridge for all to see asd a warning to others.More rational attitudes prevailed since I am glad to say,I think the authorities realise the inner sympathies particularly of young Muslims and there are attempts to deradicalise them but until they actually break the law there is not a lot can be done without using the extreme methods of Arab dictatorships.Personally I think no further immigration of Muslims into the UK should be allowed and mosques preaching hate and disloyalty should be closed down.Mrs Merkel’s foolishness in Germany will have a knock on effect to the rest of Europe so I would be in favour of leaving the EU when the referendum vote comes so we can at least control our borders.
Matthieu Baudin says
Salim, we need you to help educate our officials, media people, politicians, church leaders and the general public. Unfortunately they stay away from this website, for the most part, so other ways of getting the message across to them need to be found. All the very best.
Nimrod says
They don’t want to “get it right”, they want to rewrite history and reality in the minds of the ignorant in order to achieve their political goals.
salim says
Just a note
Most of the hardline Muslim clerics who support the IS have high academic degrees. they speak loudly and confidently because they know they are more qualified to give an opinion than the so called moderate Muslims.
Remember that Caliph Al Baghdadi has (according to his mentors) a well deserved PHD in Islamic studies.
PRCS says
“When asked if he approved of stoning of women, Malik answered: “That is our religion, I think our religion is good, of course.”…”
Now, I ask you, who knows more about Islam: John Kerry or Malik Fndy?
bernie says
Islam claims Jesus as a prophet, yet according to the Christian NT, Jesus prevented a mob from stoning a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery.
Notice how Malik doesn’t mention that the Jordanian pilot had not been *intentionally* trying to kill women, children or elderly people.
Also, there’s the word “innocent.” Malik doesn’t seem to have a problem with the ISIS savages who are brutally killing, raping, robbing and sexually enslaving Christians, Yazidis, Shi’as and non-compliant Sunni Muslims, because such people likely do not count as “innocent” in his view.
Regarding his comments about the U.S., the United States has actually been doing relatively little against I.S., and they have been taking harsher action against I.S.’ mortal enemy, Assad.
Matthieu Baudin says
A very sincere guy, it would seem, but it looks like we’ll have to lock him up for the rest of his life.
Mike says
The thing is, a lot of people on here would actually agree with him that IS is Islamic!
it’s Obama that disagrees with him…
If you are American, please vote. Vote Trump. He’s not perfect, but he’ll deal with the biggest danger that we face. Thank you.
abad says
Oh good.
Then that means he will be leaving Germany soon for Syria.
That’s the best news I heard all day.
mortimer says
Many high-ranking Nazis had PhDs and a number had degrees in law. High-ranking Nazis were cultured and refined, but they believed in the master-race theory.
Similarly, top-ranking Muslims are often very well educated and refined, but they believe in the MASTER-RELIGION THEORY!
According to supremacist theory, a racial or religious distinction makes the supremacist superior to those of lesser rank and therefore only the supremacist is qualified to rule. The distinction of the supremacist gives him the right to control and abuse his inferiors if they resist his supremacism.
This leads to atrocities. Islam is a 1400-year series of atrocities. Why would it change now? A PhD who understands and approves Islam’s master-religion theory is willing to commit almost any atrocity to achieve Islamic supremacism…much as the Nazis did. He needs to be de-programmed in the same way we de-programmed the Nazis in 1945.

16 million Muslims on the way to Europe in one year. Seriouly, I think our civilization would suffer less from a limited nuclear war, so when I say treason this is what I mean.

Angemon says
I don’t know how I feel about this – if they had arrested him on charges of treason, since proclaiming support for the islamic state is proclaiming support to an entity that not only has values opposed to core Western values (like equality before the law, equal rights for everyone, etc.) but also declared war on all Western nations and therefore supporting it is de facto treason, I would be OK with it. But that wasn’t the case, so it seems all they’re doing is infringing on his freedom of expression.
