TIMOTHY FURNISH: WHAT ISIS BELIEVES


Talking The Walk

IT IS difficult to address a problem that one willingly refuses to acknowledge. That is apparently why our president, his spokespeople, and our major media suggest jobs programs, social media, and getting moms talking as responses to the horrific violence committed by the Islamic State, even as the group openly declares its intentions and methods.

Dr. Timothy R. Furnish, a consultant, researcher and author on the topics of Islam, Mahdism, Jihadism, Shi`ism, and other Islamic sects, discusses the eschatology of the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL), how much its religious beliefs differ from mainstream Islam (hint: they really don’t), and how the group’s view of end times prophecy directs its bloody political, military, and religious agenda.
