"The Islamic State differs from nearly every other current jihadist movement in believing that it is written into God’s script; it is this belief which most boldly separates it from its predecessors, and demonstrates the religious nature of its mission. Everything it demands of its adherents is dictated by the most conservative teachings of the Qur’an and its motivations emanate from its belief that it will play an integral role in The Apocalypse, as dictated by the prophecies.ISIS follows the dictates of the prophecies like a rule book, all leading to the End Days. They have now completed Step 1, setting up the caliphate (or territory led by a caliph), and are working on Step 2: mass executions of Muslim ‘apostates,’ who do not adhere to their medieval interpretation of the Qur’an."
