Islamic terrorism is a result of Western policies that destabilized Muslim countries, not Islam itself.

The magazine’s editors answer this question in what appears to be the issue’s centerpiece article, “Why We Hate You and Why We Fight You”: Hating sinners and killing disbelievers is also part of fitrah. According to ISIS, it is the Muslim’s duty to kill sinners and non-Muslims.

ISIS displays frustration in the article against “liberal journalists” who “would like you to believe that we do what we do because we’re simply monsters...” They lament the fact that their mujahideen, Muslims waging jihad, “have repeatedly stated their goals, intentions, and motivations” but that it is too “politically incorrect” for the media to reveal the truth. To set the record straight, ISIS clarifies “to the West - yet again” why they fight us. They provide six reasons in this article:

1.Because we do not believe in Islamic monotheism.
2.Because we do not obey Allah.
3.Because of the atheists among us.
4.Because of our crimes against the religion of Islam.
5.Because of our crimes against Muslims.
6.Because of our invasion of Muslim lands.

While discussing the first reason, ISIS says, “just as your disbelief is the primary reason we hate you, your disbelief is the primary reason we fight you, as we have been commanded to fight the disbelievers until they submit to the authority of Islam, either by becoming Muslims, or by... living in humiliation under the rule of the Muslims.”


...
Their point is clear: They kill us primarily because we are not Muslim. Leaving no room for doubt, the article goes on to say, “Although some might argue that your foreign policies are the extent of what drives our hatred, this particular reason for hating you is secondary, hence the reason we addressed it at the end of the above list.... [O]ur primary reason for hating you will not cease to exist until you embrace Islam.”
