A further point is that, if an integral part of warfare is to strategically plan, then what seems like ex- treme acts, could very well be part of some

Brother, we must say that you have spoken without applying your mind, and without having even a hazy understanding of the plot that is unfolding. Furthermore, you have stated pure conjecture. What you are conjecturing is devoid of reality and factual evidence. We are precisely saying what you have mentioned, viz., "as long as it is not a violation of the Shariah". All the actions of ISIS are in violation of the Shariah. All their killings and murders are in violation of the Shariah. Their uprooting and massacring of non-Muslims, their recent abduction of Christians, their killing of some Chechen Mujahideen who came as observers to ascertain the facts, etc., are all gross violations of the Shariah. Killing and uprooting a community "does not seem like an extreme act". It is a brutal, haraam satanic act which the Shariah does not condone. And worse is it with killing the Muslims. There is no merit in your arguments.
