As Western politicians and other talking heads insist that the
Islamic State ("ISIS") has "nothing
whatsoever to do with Islam," not only does ISIS correctly
implement Islamic law – whether by demanding jizya
from subjugated Christians or by sexually
enslaving "infidel" women – but even the "caliphate's"
arcane jihadi tactics belong to Islam.
Consider a recently exposed
"recruitment" tactic of ISIS: abducting, indoctrinating, and beating
young children in order to mold them into explosive vest-wearing
"martyrs" who hurl themselves onto "infidels":
The children who managed to escape describe how they were
indoctrinated into the jihadi group's radical brand of Islam and taught that
they should execute their "unbeliever" [infidel] parents. ...
"We weren't allowed to cry but I would think about my mother, think about
her worrying about me and I'd try and cry quietly," he [an escapee] said[.]
... Some children who managed to escape ISIS and are now living in the refugee
camps in northern Iraq, have also been left badly psychologically scarred. The
repeated beatings and endless propaganda have meant that some of the escapees
wake up in the night with nightmares while others suffer seizures.
The report goes on to say, "The growing trend for ISIS to use
child soldiers as suicide bombers, particularly in Iraq, has been suggested as
a sign of how stretched their resources are in the region."
Or it could suggest that
ISIS is simply following another page of the jihadi playbook. For
centuries, Muslim caliphates seized Christian boys from their families,
forcefully converted them and indoctrinated them in Islam, trained them to be
jihadis extraordinaire, and then unleashed them back onto their former
Christian kin to wreak havoc in the name of jihad on infidels. (Skanderberg
was the exception.)
That this practice is
Islamic is evident in that other modern-day Muslims – not just ISIS – follow
it. In 2012, 300 Christian children were abducted
and forcibly converted to Islam. After convincing impoverished
Christian families in Bangladesh to spend what little money they had to send
their children to study at supposed mission hostels, con men would "pocket
the money" and "sell the children to Islamic schools elsewhere in the
country 'where imams force them to abjure Christianity.'" The
children are then instructed in Islam and beaten. After being fully indoctrinated,
the once Christian children are asked if they are "ready to give their
lives for Islam," presumably by becoming jihadi suicide bombers…….

Crypto-Muslims (or
Moriscos) pretending to be Christian but secretly working to subvert Spain back
to Muslim rule were a continual source of danger for centuries. While the
Spaniards knew that Islam prevented Muslims from being loyal to Christian rule,
after the Reconquista, they also learned that many Muslims who had publicly
converted to Christianity – going to church and participating in baptism and
communion – were crypto-Muslims working for the victory of Islam, including by
revolting with the aid of foreign Muslims, such as the Turks. As a
result, Islam was expelled from Spain, and as a result of that, ISIS and other
Muslims vow
to return.
Yet because this historical event is now portrayed as an example
of extreme Christian intolerance – the flip-side of Western academia's devotion
to whitewashing Islam is its
devotion to demonizing Christianity – another valuable lesson from
Christian-Muslim history is lost.
The tactics employed by the Islamic State and other jihadi
outfits – from indoctrinating Christian children to be martyrs for Islam to
acting Christian, going to church, and wearing crucifixes – permeate Islamic
history. But because the West refuses to acknowledge Islam's true
doctrines and history, it must ever confront the jihad blindfolded and
blindsided.
