The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is made up of forces
variously estimated at between 3,000 and 10,000 fighters. It has taken
over much of eastern Syria and northern and western Iraq, as well as the
Trabil crossing on the Jordan–Iraq border. Its territory now extends to
within 76 miles (122 kilometres) of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

European Parliament Identifies Wahabi and Salafi Roots of Global Terrorism
By Murtaza Haider
Jul 22, 2013
It is not merely the
faith or oil that flows out of Saudi Arabia. The oil-rich Arab state and
its neighbours are busy financing Wahabi and Salafi militants across
the globe.
A recent report by the
European Parliament reveals how Wahabi and Salafi groups based out of
the Middle East are involved in the "support and supply of arms to rebel
groups around the world." The report, released in June 2013, was
commissioned by European Parliament's Directorate General for External
Policies. The report warns about the Wahabi/Salafi organisations and
claims that "no country in the Muslim world is safe from their
operations ... as they always aim to terrorise their opponents and
arouse the admiration of their supporters."
The nexus between Arab
charities promoting Wahabi and Salafi traditions and the extremist
Islamic movements has emerged as one of the major threats to people and
governments across the globe. From Syria, Mali, Afghanistan and Pakistan
to Indonesia in the East, a network of charities is funding militancy
and mayhem to coerce Muslims of diverse traditions to conform to the
Salafi and Wahabi traditions. The same networks have been equally
destructive as they branch out of Muslim countries and attack targets in
Europe and North America.
Role of Saudi Arabia, As Caliphs of Islam, In Promoting Islamic Extremism and Jihadism
By Nauman Sadiq
JULY 29, 2014
The Pakistani military
establishment is rightfully blamed for creating the Taliban; but the
phenomena of religious extremism and terrorism is not limited to
Pakistan; this conflagration has engulfed the whole of Islamic world
from Iraq and Syria to Algeria and Indonesia and even the Muslim
minorities in China, Thailand and Philippines. Pakistani establishment
does not have access to all these regions, thus, aside from local
actors; some regional and global actors are also responsible for
creating the menace of Islamic extremism and terrorism. A more holistic
understanding of the problem will identify three actors responsible for
creating this menace: Pakistani military establishment; Saudi and Gulf
petro-monarchies and last but not the least, the Western support for the
Afghan Jihad in the context of the Cold War.
Bringing Down The Institution
Of Hadees From Its Pedestal, Equal To Quran: No Matter How Revered,
Hadees Is Not Divine Islamic Scripture, Any Blind Faith Is Unwarranted
By Sultan Shahin

Note: I am shifting this
debate from its present thread, as, it doesn't quite belong there and deserves
a separate line of discussion.

Dear Naseer Saheb (Observer), I know you are on Ramazan leave and I don't really want to bother you,
and understand, that you may not even see it. But since I notice Muhammad Yunus
saheb not responding to your observations on the issue of hadith regarding the
relative purity of a male child's urine over that of a female child, perhaps
for fear of being maligned further, (I
myself have that fear, as do many others who have stopped engaging with you,
knowing your frustrations and how they come out,) it seems it is my duty to set
the record straight, or at least to put on record my own thoughts on the issue.
