A group of young British Muslims have declared their own “jihad” against Isis and all other terrorist groups.

The Muslim Youth League UK announced an ideological holy war against the Islamic State at a conference in Glasgow on Sunday, saying militants had “no link with Islam or the Muslim community”.

It is concerned that recruitment by the group is on the rise in the UK, targeting teenage girls and boys with gory propaganda videos and social media accounts boasting of life under the “caliphate”.

Shaykh Rehan Ahmed Raza, president of Muslim Youth League UK, said: "Our efforts are aimed at deterring further ISIS recruitment in Britain and defending the Muslim community, who feel their religion has been hijacked."

He announced a seven-point declaration calling the killing of any person un-Islamic, whatever their faith, and condemning extremists’ “deviation” from the teachings of Prophet Muhammad and the Koran.

“The emergence of the terrorists, who would use the name of Islam to justify their atrocious activities, was prophesied by Prophet Muhammad. He declared them as being out of the ambit of Islam,” the declaration continues.

“We challenge Isis, similar groups and their supporters ideologically and intellectually.”

The league also announced that it rejects Islamophobic “labelling” of Muslims as extremists or terrorists by politicians, the media and public.

“We ask Muslims from all walks of life, regardless of the school of thought to which they belong, to stand united against extremists who have hijacked the true teachings of Islam,” its declaration added.

“We call upon scholars and community leaders to raise a united and unwavering voice against extremism.”

While an unknown number of British men, women and teenagers have joined Isis in Iraq or Syria, its atrocities against civilians and the murder of foreign hostages has provoked widespread condemnation.

The Muslim Youth League and other groups are fighting back against its propaganda online and through engagement work in schools and communities.

“The barbarism and lack of respect for the sanctity of human life shown by Isis is a challenge to every civilised value, not least to the tenets of Islam,” a spokesperson for the group said.

The Muslim Youth League represents young Muslims in the UK and aims to promote unity and tolerance.

A spokesperson said its declaration of “jihad” against Isis hoped to inspire similar statements from other British Islamic groups condemning extremism.

At least 60 British women and girls as young as 15 have joined Isis in Syria so far, police say, including three London schoolgirls who disappeared earlier this year.

This would be a good idea if it wasn't I) Muslim, II) factionalist and III) denialist about ISIS's theology.

In fact, it would be better if it didn't fucking exist and these morons just condemned ISIS like any other decent person instead of confusing the issue with theological points and more holy wars.

Fuck off.

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
I was hoping for more of a Crusades kind of thing here, but this is just "we're going to vocally oppose you and teach others that you're bad!" Better than nothing, I suppose.

So, they just condemn ISIS for being assholes, but attach a strong word related to religious duty? It feels bothersome, but it might be a clever way to take an ideological, and religious distance between them, and the extremists. However, I doubt it will resolve the issue where young people disappear from schools to go all the way to the M.E. and support this kind of cause.

I mean, think about it, if you end up in Britain from a war-torn, and impoverished area, but ultimately just go back in that shithole it means there's something completely wrong with Britain. Why would someone consider it a good idea to leave a country like Britain and risk becoming a corpse?

That kind of person has set their mind, and the problem isn't certainly some propaganda found on the internet. The problem exists very well in Britain in some form or another, and it can't get more clear than this. It just feels that this is set to fail to stop anyone who made up their mind, but maybe it might be successful in a negative way to generate some contrast.

It's ironic how this whole line of action just reflects what an Islamophobic may expect; aggressiveness backed by religious claims and the creation of a community to serve that specific purpose.
