ISIS says rescuing Medina and Mecca from Saudi Royal Family is number one priority

Islamic State explains why it doesn’t attack Israel (yet)


There is a place, however, where jihad does take precedence, according to the article: in the Arab states that are governed by “tyrants.” First and foremost among these is the Saudi kingdom, where the two holy Islamic cities of Mecca and Medina must be rescued from the Saudi royal family.

“The apostate [tyrants] who rule the lands of Islam are graver infidels than [the Jews], and war against them takes precedence over war against the original infidels,” the article said.

Analyst: ISIS Does Not View Israel, Jews as ‘Special’ Enemy

Political commentator Ehud Yaari believes ISIS, who took responsibility Tuesday night for the murderous attacks in Brussels where 34 civilians had been killed, are out to do war with the West as well as with most Arab and Muslim countries — but unlike other Islamic terrorist groups they do not single out Israel or the Jews as enemies.

It should be noted in this context that when Al Qaeda’s two top leaders, Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, introduced themselves to the world via CNN after the 9/11 attacks, they spoke of the evils of the West and the drive to spread Islam around the globe, but the conflict over territory in Israel between Arabs and Jews did not rate a mention. It was only later that the new organization discovered it could gain fans faster by berating Jews and the Jewish State.

According to Yaari, the ISIS ideology does not include the Protocols of the Elders of Zion — which is mass-published by the Saudis, and sold freely in every Arab country. ISIS does not believe the Jews rule the world, and, in fact, state that those who believe it are foolish.

ISIS also does not believe that the Jews are any worse infidels than others — including, most emphatically Shiite Muslims. In that context, the Islamic State prefers fighting the Arab regimes which serve as a line of defense for Israel, and avoid harassing the Jewish State for now.

What should we make out of this? Are they in a quest to destroy 'disbelief' in the region? Or what's the deal?

Bro, there are 2 counties have been making advantages over the mess created by ISIS in the region ;

Israel & Iran.

So, yes. Expect anything. Neither SIS will attack Israel nor Israel will do. Objective of ISIS is to destroy Arab lands, and if it failed to do that, Other countries will come to do it under the pretext of fighting ISIS.

The situation is worrying in Arab world and Europe, if there is another attack within a short time span in Europe, I can tell you it will probably be very tense environment for Muslims.

If that so when are they fighting in Syria? Why don't they come and fight Saudi Arabia instead. Oh yeah just like their daddy Iran shouting Palestine and fighting in Iraq and Syria. I pity them really.

I have read several articles about ISIS and the word infidel always comes up. There was one article (I don't exactly remember what newspaper) that said about the slogan of ISIS to behead the infidels. With the recent bombing in Brussels, the US will be stepping up its campaign in Syria, that's according to CNN (on tv awhile ago). So what gives? Will US and Russia join hands in fighting ISIS in Syria? Until that happens, ISIS will continue with their heyday. Now, with the Saudi forces numbering 350,000 as stated in one news item 2 weeks ago, that would an overmatch for ISIS.

@Corzhens Russia and US will never join the same team to fight ISIS even when Russia was in Syria they hardly focused on ISIS, they were always striking the FSA while the US was striking ISIS. speaking about Saudi Arabia, if they want to stay part of the coalition they need to launch a major operation and pick up the air campaign against the Islamic State.

This could ultimately be the undoing of ISIS. If it comes down to an all out war against major powers, I don't see how ISIS has the human and financial numbers to sustain a prolonged war. It seems they can hold down specific areas outside of the big players in the region, but going head to head and attempting to take over portions of Saudi Arabia would be a mistake.
