The concept is based on the original ramblings
of a 7th-century warlord who imagined he was fast-tracked by Allah to receive
revelations.
Caliphate is currently recruiting socially-immature
young people together with assorted misfits, who consider their lives
unstimulating or lack-lustre, for this new Jihadist-building experience. The
whole package is wrapped up in the pseudo respectable mantle of religion and
given credence by some apologists and assuaging journalists.
It offers the excitement of joining the
radical Islamic club, with its simplistic ideology of the literal reading of
primitive founding texts and blind obedience to its numerous barbaric dictates.
Conscripts need the ability to detach from the reality of modern civilisation
and commit, or be an accessory to, stomach-turning atrocities without
conscience. What they think they get in return is validation, power and a
degree of respect.
ISIS are the managing agents for Calliphate
and their chosen arena is Iraq and Syria. The recruits attack the legitimate
but ill-disciplined and poorly-trained armed forces. They also destroy the
culture, and disrespect the traditions, of the hapless peoples who have
inhabited this currently ungovernable and unstable region, in some cases for
thousands of years.
Tactics are mainly as given in Muhammed and
his cohort’s personal manual, the Quran. Initially, suicide bombers, intent on bringing
about Armageddon, are sent in to cause havoc. Then it’s the ‘shoot-em-up’ or
decapitating activities against the infidels who won’t convert to this gruesome
fundamentalist theology. The spoils of war are just those that are recounted
about the life of the sociopath and sexual deviant Muhammed. Opposing forces
are slaughtered mercilessly and captured females are passed around the men and
those who survive the physical and sexual abuse are sold on as slaves. All of
these actions are sanctioned in the Islamic scriptures and seemingly palatable
if you regard the subjects as ‘less than human’, just as the Nazis did with
Jews, gypsies and homosexuals.
Parading through conquered towns in the black
uniform, black flags and guns is all part of the macho, ‘video game’ image that
the Calliphate projects to attract disaffected youth. The callous and barbarous
mentality easily appeals to the baser instincts of naive, juvenile minds and
they are simply fodder for Islamist recruiters to this obscene Jihadist cause.
ISIS, under the self-proclaimed Calliph Abu
Bakr al-Baghdadi, is living out a twisted version of reality which is at odds
with all the norms of a civilised society. The documented aims of Islamic
Jihad: “Islam with its vast revolutionary programme aims at establishing unity
of human society on the basis of justice and mutual love. It wants to restore
human freedom and humanize the world.” These aims are laughable when ISIS are
representing public relations.
One sincerely hopes that this abomination will
be utterly destroyed, just as Hitler’s Reich was, and the surviving
perpetrators brought to book. But one is forced to wonder, at what cost?
