The benefits brought about by IS and its sister organizations like Al-Qaeda, Zarqawi and all militias flocking out of their nations' legitimacy in the name of Islam, are countless for Islam in general, and Sunni Arabs in particular. Some of these benefits are as follows:





1. Distorting Islam's image before the whole world, making it appear as a religion of terrorism, decapitations, hatred and retardation through terrible crimes committed by IS and its sister organizations and putting them on video.



2. Destroying Muslim countries, particularly Sunni regions, by occupying them and making them targets for airborne and land strikes by Western and Oriental powers in collaboration with the fighters, tanks and troops of official armies in concerned states, such as Syria and Iraq.



3. Placing Muslims, namely Sunni Arabs, under criticism of national partners and fellow-citizens by destroying worship and holy places belonging to the followers of other religions and doctrines, which instigates them. They also do so through suicide bombings in marketplaces, schools, colleges and congregations and immediately claim responsibility for such brutal actions that are motivated and funded by ghosts and paid for by the innocent. None of the suicide bombers is the son of any of IS or similar organizations' leaders.



4. Inciting world nations against Muslims, namely Sunni Arabs, through terrorist operations committed in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas, to which IS always claims responsibility very fast to hinder any efforts to defend Muslims.



5. IS and its likes do not settle for harming and making Sunni Arabs jobless in their countries and turning those countries into war-afflicted wastelands - they also pursue them in countries they immigrate to and commit the same crimes to have everybody mistrust them and refrain from employing them.



6. IS and its likes deliberately wage consecutive wars that displace millions of Muslims, namely Sunni Arabs and deprive them from education and physical and psychological healthcare, which ends up creating generations of ignorant people who later on contribute to destroying various countries. What would one expect from millions of children deprived from school and proper food and dumped into crowded refugee camps except growing up into future killing and devastation tools?!



7. IS and its likes did not settle for destroying the present and future of the Muslim nation, it also destroyed it past trough destroying temples and human heritage that had existed on those lands for thousands of years and had not been touched by the Righteous Caliphs. Thus, they strike several birds with one stone by erasing the past, provoking millions of followers of other religions and doctrines, proving that Arabs and Muslims are not fit enough to run their own countries and give enough excuses for those wishing to eradicate what is left of Arab and Muslim legacy and worship places using the 'same treatment' principle.
