Journal Article
Human Rights Violations in the Name of Islam by Terrorist Organizations
2022
Overview
Objective: This study aims to highlight the violations of human rights by ISIS in Iraq and Syria. The study addresses the following question: How does ISIS get by with its systematic human rights violation in the name of Islam when Islamic Law (Shari'ah) itself opposes its ideology and actions? Methods: The case study was used to provide an example of ISIS's human rights violation within the framework of International Human Rights Law. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is then implemented to illustrate that ISIS can get by with its systematic violation of human rights in the name of Islam by using a particular linguistic strategy when engaging religious texts and beliefs. Results: the study has illustrated how ISIS is engaged in systematic and widespread human rights violations and thus legitimizes the condemnation of ISIS's actions. This evidence also helps the international community in its current efforts to build a strong case against ISIS concerning its individual criminal responsibility for its crimes against humanity. Through CDA, this study demonstrates exactly how authentic Islamic texts condemn the ideology and actions of ISIS. It thus vindicates the Islamic faith from the false accusations with which it has been victimized because of ISIS's human rights violation. Moreover, by addressing this critical conflict between ISIS and Islamic Law, this study legitimizes the denouncement of ISIS as un Islamic and thereby aids the International Muslim Community in reclaiming its Islamic identity from ISIS by helping it to further distance itself from ISIS's actions. Conclusion: Regarding ISIS's selective usage of the Qur'an, this study demonstrated that with ISIS's use of any passage, its proper contextualization revealed a different scriptural intention. By carefully contextualizing ISIS's human rights abuse within the framework of the UDHR, this study illustrated precisely how ISIS is discursively engaged in systematic and widespread human rights abuse in the name of Islam. Furthermore, by addressing the critical conflict between ISIS and Islamic Law regarding ISIS's ideology and actions, this study legitimizes the denouncement of ISIS as un-Islamic.
