The creation, history, and main objective behind ISIS-Kharijites is to tarnish the reputation of Islamic Sharia, values, leaders, and a true Islamic system. For each project assigned to them by their Western backers, these goals remain constant, with only minor changes in approach depending on the region, conditions, and available resources.
Their actions consistently follow a deviant path, which, by Allah’s grace, ultimately fails to achieve its goals. In Afghanistan particularly, all their evil ambitions have been crushed, and they have faced the consequences of their actions.
A recent example was the destruction and exposure of their bases in Ghor and Kunar by the Islamic Emirate’s security forces. As previously mentioned, extremists spare no effort in achieving their goals. Therefore, we will shed light on some of their funding sources:
A. Foreign Sources:
Their primary funding sources are, in fact, donations from their creators or Western backers, especially Crusader countries. These funds come from both official and unofficial channels, as part of Western policies aimed at weakening Islamic countries and defaming Islam.
The funding includes blank checks and the implementation costs of pre-planned projects, often received through the intelligence agencies and agents of the U.S., Pakistan, and the U.K. During the occupation, they even received direct military and logistical support. Thus far, the sources of funding and support for extremists killed in Afghanistan have been traced back to Tajikistan and Pakistan.
B. Local Sources:
ISIS-Kharijites also exploit funds from personal businesses for indulgence, committing fraud and corruption with the funds provided by their sponsors. Some of their other local sources include:
1. Highway Robbery:
While ISIS-Kharijites have no foothold in Afghanistan, and their presence has been eliminated each time they emerged, they have seized highways and looted travelers’ money and valuables in Iraq and other regions whenever possible.
2. Theft of Historical Artifacts:
Many Islamic countries have significant historical artifacts and heritage. ISIS-Kharijites have repeatedly stolen these artifacts, both hidden and visible, to finance their objectives, selling them to their backers or on the black market.
3. Kidnapping and Human Trafficking:
Kidnapping is a natural habit for ISIS-Kharijites. They have abducted children, women, and elders, demanding large ransoms from their families, and often killing the hostages even after receiving the ransom. They also forcibly recruit children into their ranks.
4. Extortion:
In numerous cases, ISIS-Kharijites have extorted wealthy individuals, official and unofficial organizations, and traders. Those who refused to comply were threatened with death or imprisonment, or were killed.
5. Armed Robberies:
Armed robbery is a routine practice of ISIS-Kharijites, stealing from homes, shops, or workplaces wherever they see money, with the help of hired criminals, then fleeing to their hideouts.
6. Looting Mines and Natural Resources:
Mines and natural resources, considered public property and national wealth by law, have often been raided by ISIS, who profit from them to pursue their sinister goals and malicious plans.
7. Looting Public Wealth as “Spoils of War”:
ISIS justifies its plundering of villages, regions, and localities by calling it a sacred struggle. In the past, they have looted money and valuables from people’s homes, workplaces, and pockets, labeling it as “spoils of war” that are permissible for them.
