Drop ‘I’ from ISIS, nothing Islamic about them: Queen Rania


In addition to Muslim community around the world criticizing the barbaric acts of ISIS and the movement of practices that have nothing to do with Islam, even rejecting the extremists’ right to call themselves jihadists. Jordan’s Queen Rania said Thursday evening that there is nothing Islamic about the self-proclaimed Islamic State, or ISIS.


In a report published in Huffington Post, the Queen said “I would love to drop the first ‘I’ in ISIS because there’s nothing Islamic about them,” prompting applause from the audience.


“They have nothing to do with faith and everything to do with fanaticism,” she said. “I think as an international community, we would do well to not focus on the religious character of that group because when we do, we give them undeserved legitimacy.”


The report further said that, “ISIS wants to be called Islamic … because any action against them will automatically be called a war against Islam, which is exactly what they want it to be,” she said. “They want it to be the West coming against Islam because it will help them with their recruiting.”


Queen Rania even call Muslims to led the fight against ISIS.
