This is actually untrue. ISIS's goal is to create a caliphate, and eventually, to have that caliphate encompass the entire world. Under Sharia, Jews and Christians are
dhimmi, people of the book, and as such are actually permitted in the Caliphate provided that they pay a jizya, which is a sort of tax you pay to have the Muslim state protect you when you're not a Muslim. Some scholars would tell you that Hindus and Buddhists also count. Sura 2:62 of the Qur'an for example says:
Quote:
|
Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muhammad] - those [among them] who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness - will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.

This stuff is at once simpler and more complicated than it appears at first blush.
