Yasir Qadhi - Islam In America And The Rise Of ISIS

Shaykh Yasir Qadhi divulges into the topic of how Islam as a religion is perceived in America and what is his first hand experience in this country being a citizen. The Muslim communities in America are thriving considerably amidst an environment of tolerance, freedom of mind and expression when it comes to religion and also a friendly approach from fellow non Muslim Americans. In the second part of the interview, Shaykh Yasir Qadhi attempts to dissect the lion in the room - The ISIS - which is a political and religious organisation established in Iraq and Syria which has created animosity and chaos beyond limit. What are the origins of this group? This is the result of a backlash and the repercussions of 30 years of backlash, economic instabilities and sanctions, toppling of governments in a country where hundred and millions of people were killed and starved to death.hence, it is a given that chaotic instability will inevitably resurface and from this chaos emerged another chaotic government. What is the solution to this? This group, like previous similar groups, will eventually burn out since they will consume themselves with their cultic and messianic ideas. To deal with this issue, the solution is two fold - political and educational (which involves theological texts and keeping an open heart and mind to incorporate these teachings into oneself).
