You have no way of knowing exactly what they ALL intend to do. Surely even you cannot believe that ALL of them do not expect to survive...that EVERY, LAST ONE OF THEM is planning to die in this way.

I imagine many of them want what you say. And I imagine FAR more of them have their own reasons that are little to do with what you say.

But you cannot know what they ALL think unless you know them all personally. And since you do not, you cannot.

ISIS Apocalypse: Armageddon Coming, Islamic State Group ...

Sep 25, 2015 - In order to recruit and expand, the Islamic State group relies heavily on the idea that the end of the world is near. The extremist Sunni Muslim group uses Islamic scriptures and prophecies to support its apocalyptic claim, all the while ignoring another contradicting prophecy.
“How did the Islamic State attract so many followers and conquer so much land? By being more ruthless, more apocalyptic and more devoted to state-building than its competitors,” according to a new book called "The ISIS Apocalypse: The History, Strategy, and Doomsday Vision of the Islamic State," by William McCants, the ISIS director of the Project on U.S. Relations with the Islamic World at the Brookings Institution.

Emphases such as "on-state building now" and "don't put off the caliphate" because "we are waging the final battles of the apocalyptic" are attractive to young Islamic men across the world, McCants argued in his book, USNI News reported. ISIS reportedly advocates the idea that the apocalypse is imminent and that Islamic State fighters will battle the “infidels” of the West in Dabiq, a Syrian town now under ISIS control.

No offense, but I could care less ehat some ding dong who works at a think tank thinks about this.


You typed the following:

'Because they aim to bring on Armaggedon, none expects to survive anyway.'

That statement says none of them expect to survive. Not some...none. The ONLY way you can factually make that statement - and you made it in a matter-of-fact manner - is by knowing the intentions/thoughts of every member of ISIS.

Are you saying that you are privy to the personal thoughts of EVERY, SINGLE member of ISIS?

Yes or no, please?

There is no evidence to the contrary.
