I wonder if Michael^3 will be along to comment on it?
Yes. The claim that IS is trying to implement a form of Islam is patently absurd. For one thing, the end of the world is decreed by God and he alone knows the hour. The idea that humans need to bring on Armageddon... good luck trying to find that in the Quran
Ah, that made up shit can't be true because of your made up shit.
The thing is, if you read the article properly, is that IS are saying that all other forms of Islam are incorrect and/or insufficient.
IS can point to the passages that back up their version of 'the law' while calling the others fake Muslims for coming up with non-scriptural reasons why those laws are no longer applicable. IS have a theological upper-hand in the debate, it is clear from the article.
Which is incredibly well researched and with input from serious Muslim scholars who seem to know less than Michael.
