On Saturday, ISIS surprisingly claimed responsibility for a deadly attack in Moscow on Friday evening. So, in this video, we're going to take a look at how ISIS has changed over the past decade, and how the ongoing instability in the Middle East could fuel them further.

[@debtcollectah2470]

Looking at this thread of replies and this comment makes me certain the West has no clue about sectarian differences in Islam. "Wahhabism" in the sense of it being a sect doesn't exist, and is in fact the perjorative term to refer to all of those who ascribe to the Athari aqeedah, and not just those who directly subscribed to Muhammad ibn Abdulwahhab's ideology (which is quite literally just following Quran and Sunnah according to the first three generations after the Prophet PBUH). "Wahhabis" in this sense are not a separate entity to Hanafis, Shafi'is. Malikis, or Hanbalis as @Ungehorsam makes them out to be, Aqeedah =! Fiqh, although the vast majority of "Wahhabis" prefer the Madhhab of Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Hanbaliyyah). The distinction made between "Saudi Hanbaliyyah" and "non-Saudi Hanbaliyyah" may be better split along the lines of Manhaj i.e. methodology, as opposed to different subschools of Fiqh which doesn't exist. The idea of a "winnable Jihad" that @sus527 is talking about might be better portrayed as pro-establishment "Salafiyyah/Salafism" (often called Madkhaliyyah after Shaykh Rabee' al Madkhali by its opponents) vs anti-establishment "Salafiyyah/Salafism" (often referred to as rebellious Khawarij or Takfiris by its opponents after those who fought the Caliph Ali RA and declared the blood of many Muslims permissible for committing major sins, mostly because they Takfir the rulers and large swathes of the Muslim population for not implementing Sharia properly in their eyes). Have no idea what @puraLusa is talking about because ISIS has only ever appealed to anti-establishment "Wahhabis" in its Aqeedah (theology/creed) and Manhaj (methodology).

[@chechenknightslaillaillall2047]

I am Chechen and to understand how devastating it was, do not forget that when the Ajnad Al-Kavkaz fighters arrived to Syria, they had to issue a different Islamic flag with the mountain relevance on display, and even punished against anyone trying to pledge allegiance to IS because many Ajnad Al-Kavkaz fighters were so horrified to see what IS could do.

Now, Hamas and ISIS both want to destroy Israel but basically for different reasons, and one is Shia Muslim while the others are Sunj Muslim. Between them, they dislike each other very much.

This video has a structure where he addresses each named region. He addresses afghanistan, then moves on to syria, then africa. If he said "somalia, mali and mozambique" he'd have to address each country separately. Then there's also countries where they're still strong but not as strong as the others like niger. Point is he'd be wasting a lot of time to address each African country individually when its largely the same problems that plague all of them.
