What ISIS is Really After

In the aftermath of the Paris attacks, ISIS has gotten a lot more media coverage than before and people everywhere seem to be freaking out and taking things to exteme measures. We're burning mosques, attacking Muslims and showing blunt hate to a large group of people for the actions fo a radical extreme group. Additionally, everyone seems to be focusing on the number of refugees their country is taking in. So in this mytake I'll try and shed some light on what it is that's actually happening and how we're making the situation worse.

First off keep in mind that ISIS has less than 50,000 operatives. The land they have and base their 'operations' out of was taken from poor people, people who had no real military power to oppose. The technology of their weapons is far backdated, to the point where they can't even defend an air strike. So how is it that this group of people can instill so much fear in everyone world-wide, when they clearly don't have the power to be an actual threat?

Well for one, they're taking credit for all the attacks that happen world-wide. Not sure how many of you know this but ISIS actually has a magazine that releases monthly editions to its members and one of the most recently leaked copies quotes "It is important that the killing becomes attributed to the Islamic State. Otherwise media makes such attacks appear as random killings"... They're taking credit for every attack in the world to make themselves seem bigger and make you more fearlful. Why do you reckon they do that? Well, lets look at what their strategy is; they want to split the world into two parts, "those of belief and those of disbelief", as they told us last year. They want a third world war (the final war - 'Malhamah') between Muslims and the rest. Now how will that come about? Like I mentioned previously, they only have approximately 50,000 members currently. So what's the best way to get more recruits? Ever since the attack, Muslims have been reportedly, threatened and attacked in countries such as the US, Canada, Australia, England, and many european nations.

Basically what it boils down to is that this organization has it in their heads that if they can make Muslims the enemy of the west, then they will have nowhere to turn but to ISIS. They did this in Iraq and now they're taking their efforts to a global scale. Furthermore, many of the terrorists in the Paris bombing were not even ISIS members that migrated into France to set forth the attack.... They were born in European countries and joined the group after.

Now I know most of you are overwhelmed with things you see in the media, the huge numbers of refugees that you just realized are set to come to your states and countries. But please, dont let yourself be manipulated by this group. As cliche as it sounds, now is the time to stand together. Because if we dont we're giving this group exactly what it's after. So if you're the type of person firing off messages on social media, sharing and liking annonymous posts about how we should not be taking in more refugees, how Muslims are bad, etc, think about what you're doing. Think about what the people of that religion feel when they see the vast amount of shares and likes and all the words of hate you post or support. Don't let yourself be manipulated and again, I implore you to think about your actions in these delicate times. Cheers!

DISCLAIMER
First off I apologize for any spelling/grammar mistakes. It's 2am here and I'm dog tired so I won't even proof read this, but I really had to get it out. I normally take every opportunity to bash on people's mytakes for stating opinon as fact so if I did do that anywhere, please feel free to go to town. Additionally if I've offended you, you're lucky; there's a space below where you can leave you need for validation.


Also, there will be a part 2 on the message Islam is putting out through these attacks and the message people are seeing, which will without a doubt be a lot more controversial
