SPONSORED: The islamic state, a global force for God

Filed · 1541

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, have you considered a break from the mundane drudgery of your easy life? Have you looked to the sky recently and thought: "Wasn't I meant for something greater on this earth?" Has the cancerous degeneracy of Western Civilization got you down? Your parents taught you to be strong. We'll make you Sunni Strong.

We take raw steel and heat it with fire. We shape it with sweat, muscle, and quench it with the tears of our enemy's women. We're looking for a few good men, with the mettle to be mujahideen.

A recent national survey stated that employers are looking for people who can handle great responsibilities, who have the ability to overcome obstacles, perform under pressure, and work well with those who have proclaimed the Shahada. The few, the proud, the soon-to-be-martyred.
