ISIS is executing their own Sharia judges who don't toe to the party line. - Polidicks

[URL]https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/news/middle-east/17435-isis-executes-one-of-its-sharia-judges[/URL] [QUOTE]Social media activists who support the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) have said on Twitter that the organisation recently executed one of its Sharia judges on the grounds that the latter had "excessive takfiri tendencies".[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]According to a number of Salafi Jihadi online forums, ISIS detained Sheikh Abu Jaafar Al-Hattab and a number of other Sharia judges last September, the month in which Judge Abu Omar Al-Kuwaiti was mysteriously executed. Some linked Al-Kuwaiti's execution to his proclamation of Baghdadi as a kafir ("infidel"). Al-Hattab, a former member of the Sharia committee of the Ansar Sharia group in Tunisia, was known for his strictness in such matters. He had previously released an audio message in which he declared his stance on takfir and said that the excuse of ignorance should not exempt people from being accused. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Observers noticed that ISIS supporters failed to share the tweet regarding Al-Hattab's execution, whereas for the first times supporters of the Hazimi trend have gained prominence. "Repent, Baghdadi, and purify your tawhid before you die, the day when neither wealth nor sons will avail, except those who meet Allah with a pure heart," read a tweet by one of Al-Hazimi's supporters. Another Hazimi tweet, Fahdawi Dayghami, wrote on Twitter: "Why did the [Islamic] State kill Sheikh Abu Jaafar Al-Hattab and his brothers? You ask students to come to you then you kill them? What Khilafah [sic] is this? We will not forget his blood and the blood of his brothers."[/QUOTE]

Infighting go!

They've made so many enemies, even ISIS doesn't like ISIS.

What is a regular Muslim supposed to do when even Sharia judges are powerless against ISIS.

Maybe the collapse of the DAESH isn't from outside forces destroying them, but rather civil war? That could be possible.

Power clique issues are well expected from a group known for killing anyone they don't like in general.

With no social structure, it was sort of inevitable. The whole thing should collapse in a few years, but what's left behind will either be infinitely more terrifying or much more restrained.

They invite in former IS members, arm them, and effectively absorb the competent remnants of the group. Iraq War #Whatever ends up happening. Again, tell me if my fears are misplaced.

Kurdistan is a region spanning Iraq, Turkey, and Iran. The capital, Erbil, is in northern Iraq. The Kurds have been one of the main and most effective forces fighting against IS while Iraq has floundered. I personally feel they've earned that right. Others who currently govern the lands within the region may not be so hospitable to the idea. That's the fear for me. That this turns into a thing where the Iraqi government falls back on being bastards and decides they need to quash a "Kurdish insurrection". Again, anyone with more proper knowledge on the subject, please educate me.

There is a lack of basic government services, infrastructure is decaying, there are widespread and chronic shortages of even basic staples and medical supplies, schools are closed, doctors are not treating the sick, and diseases are spreading. Additionally, their big plans for introducing a new currency and passport have yet to materialize. ISIS barely even qualifies as a state, and it lacks a proper government. It's been a jihadist organisation for years, and acts like one. States are a whole different thing. ISIS is failing the test, and ultimately it will lose the war. Already it's struggling to hold their current territory in Iraq, and may very well lose control of it.

What? This doesn't even make any sense. ISIS is SUNNI. Why the fuck would ISIS appoint Sharia Judges in the first god damn place. Makes no sense.
