The Ideology of ISIS
The Ideology of ISIS
In an era of globalization, it is more convenient for different countries and areas to exchange and communicate with each other in politics, economy, culture and also religion. As a result, there exist some problems in different fields which threat the harmony and peace of this globe due to the excessive propaganda via effective communications, and one of them is ISIS. In the press release titled The Doomsday Ideology of ISIS, some basic information about the ideology of ISIS is illustrated, and it argues that the destiny vision of this terror group is a strong recruiting pitch. Compared with the main argument in the press release that ISIS prophecies are powerful recruiting tools, it is quite obvious that the use of doomsday ideology confusing people best explains its ideology, because the facts hidden by the leaders f ISIS shows their ambiguous prediction without exact time.
To some extent, the main argument about its powerful recruiting pitch in The Doomsday Ideology of ISIS is reasonable. On the one hand, the leaders of ISIS try to emphasize the urgency of joining its activities. Many young people regard saving and protecting the world as their missions and they are willing to participate in the so-called battle in order to ensure better lives in the future, especially when the missions are urgent. For example, ISIS are sending messages that the evil forces are about to reach their goal and people cannot wait, and that’s why so many young people attend the activities of ISIS (Liz). As a matter of fact, ISIS suitably takes advantage of the ambitions and hearts to endeavor for the world and the society of the young generation, which makes people believe that it is their responsibility to help and do their best in order to save the coming new world and try to fight against the evil forces. On the other hand, as is shown in the beginning of this press release, the activities of ISIS in fact involved a lot of people, it finished some attacks and celebrated its success. At the same time, Isis’s temporary victory can never be separated from the participation of the supporters. Therefore, the main argument is reasonable to some extent.
Compared with the other arguments in this release, it is easy to see some hidden facts. To begin with, it argues that ISIS did never give the exact date or time of the apocalyptic visions. In other words, the believers may need to be prepared and try to perform well for they do not know when the battle will begin. Moreover, the leaders of ISIS make its supporters believe that Mahdi may occur but he will hide himself until he brings peace, justice and harmony to the world or when the world comes to an end. In that case, the believers actively support the religion in order to get the relief from Mahdi after he occurs. From the above evidences, it is quite apparent that the leaders of ISIS in fact hide the truth and facts of its prediction.
Based on the above illusions, it can be concluded that the main argument about Isis’s powerful recruiting tool are not that reasonable when compared with other arguments in The Doomsday Ideology of ISIS based on the facts mentioned in the press release. The implication of the argument of exposing the hidden facts that the ISIS ideology confuses the public and its supporters is to let more people realize the ideology about the ending of the world, which in fact threatening the safety of the globe. The argument does make a difference in that it can provide people more religious choices while they know more facts. Meanwhile, it also makes a difference for the argument helps people to have a better understanding about ideology of ISIS. What’s more important is that it offers a good way to confront the global security threat. To be specific, a better understanding of ISIS, which has more access to the facts, can assist to find out more feasible solutions.
