ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) is Crazy
I don’t just mean that ISIS’s behaviour is bizarre, it is suicidal. They want to lose and be destroyed. Consider that Hitler’s undoing was fighting a war on both the eastern and western fronts simultaneously. ISIS is running around picking fights with the most powerful nations on earth, most recently Japan. ISIS has done it in such a way as to utterly infuriate the entire populace. Fighting even one of these powers would have been difficult, but fighting them all guarantees ISIS’s elimination.
They may have swallowed the Islamic promise of paradise after death literally and they are eager to die soon, even more eager than they are to strike revenge at the west. It a collective suicide by cop. It is a mass religious delusion, a death cult, Christianity/Islam taken to its logical conclusion. They are ignoring the fact the Qur’an forbids suicide. They imagine through some loophole what they are doing does not count as suicide.
