The ISIS is preparing to attack India to provoke an Armageddon-like confrontation with the US, according to an internal recruitment document of the feared group which also seeks to unite the Pakistani and Afghan Taliban into a single army of terror.
...

“The document warns that ‘preparations’ for an attack in India are under way and predicts that an attack will provoke an apocalyptic confrontation with America,” the report said. “Even if the US tries to attack with all its allies, which undoubtedly it will, the ummah (Muslims) will be united, resulting in the final battle,” it added.

...

Bruce Riedel, a retired CIA official and now a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute, said striking India would magnify the ISIS’ stature and threaten the stability of the region.

“Attacking India is the Holy Grail of South Asian jihadists,” he was quoted as saying.

It seeks to unite dozens of factions of the Pakistani and Afghan Taliban into a single army of terror, the daily said.

“It includes a never-before-seen history of the Islamic State, details chilling future battle plans, urges al-Qaeda to join the group and says the Islamic State’s leader should be recognized as the sole ruler of the world’s 1 billion Muslims under a religious empire called a ‘caliphate’,” it said.

I am not quite sure how that would work. They planning to get nukes from Pakistan and Nuke India? Then what? India nukes the whole region and ISIS somehow....wins?
Or are they planning to attack India with this rag-tag bunch of groupies, maybe with the help of the Pakistani and Afghani taliban/Army? They will still get obliterated and will somehow.....win?

Oh yeah I get it. Because then we'll finally kill them I guess it'll be the end of their world!

Or is this the battle where Mohammed and Jesus are gonna come back from the dead and kill everyone? (serious?)

Aren't ISIS enemies with the Taliban? Or at least some of it? They've been taking over their grounds recently.

So not worth it
They have to realize that the only reason they're not all dead yet is because the US (or any of the other bigger countries w/ decent sized and trained armies) simply can't be bothered to send their entire army to kill them all, right?

They have to know this.

No, Muhammed is dead and won't be going back. You're probably thinking of Jesus (or Isa in Arabic), who is deemed to return, yes. But as far as I remember it doesn't have anything to do with "the end of the world", it's more a means to unite all Muslim people instead of the hundreds of different Muslims you have now.

If it's anything like the Christian end times prophecy, they probably think that doing certain things will cause God or whoever to come down and save them from certain defeat. So it's less having an actual army/strategy capable of victory, and more going through enough end-times checklist items to make God go "oh they did this and this and that, so I'm supposed to save them now" or something.

Attacking India is the holy grail for SE jihadis?

Seriosuly?

Hasn't India been attacked a number of times already? The last one was pretty big, over 200 murdered if I'm not mistaken.

Ignoring the fact that most muslims want nothing to do with ISIS, why do they think that an all out war would end in their favour? Pretty much all of the nuclear powers outside of Pakistan are non-muslim majority countries. All of them are highly interested in not being ruled by a caliphate. Terrorism only goes so far.

They can't comprehend that most Muslims don't want to join their circlejerk of hate and terror.

I am pretty anti-war but these dudes need to be bombed hard and often.

Didn't we just get permission to launch air strikes from Turkey? I also thought there was supposed to be a huge offensive from the Iraqi military.

Maybe they think India can't defend itself and so will rely on the US to do it for them?

Or, they are so coked out of their heads they think one more attack that isn't even on US soil will push the US into sending ground troops.

Yes, of course it all makes sense.
By attacking a completely different country, they will destroy the United States. How could this go wrong?

I think that Muslims have their own take on the second coming of Jesus, the anti-christ, and Judgement day:

World's second most populous nation, 10th most powerful military force and 9th world economic power with a nuclear weapon wouldn't need to call in the US.

Ground troops would mean an attack from all sides including NATO, Iran, India and whoever wants to join. They'll survive 2 weeks tops.

I knew India were on the rise, but I never thought they'd be that high. Fair play!

Just little corrections. India is 7th biggest economy in nominal terms and 3rd in PPP terms. Its also 4th most powerful military (http://www.globalfirepower.com/), though thats kinda subjective so you can put them anywhere in 4-6.

Even better.

AMI got this document. The original story on USA Today had contribution from Rich Miniter who is the head of AMI. Where's the document? Why does everyone take this crap on face value? Where is the proof of this stuff.

AMI's only filed 2012 and 2013 990's and their "grants" went from 91K to 317K, I bet they'll get even more now.

India getting nuked would basically start WW3 and challenge global alliances. And in this nightmare scenario of terrorists getting nukes, what's stopping them from nuking NATO's counter attack? It's not like they have a country that you can use MAD against. The collateral damage and nation rebuilding would be devastating, and probably set the world back a few decades

So the sole goal of the muslims is to initiate armageddon? Basically a kamikaze war of sorts?

Then what? Or do they still believe that after death they will be greeted as champions of god in their version of the afterlife? Well, at least it's somewhat ambitious.
