Abstract

Using frequency method, the present paper aims at dealing with the description and analysis of the attitude of terrorist organization of ISIS towards Afghan Taliban.

The scope of research includes the editions 1 to 365 from Al-Naba weekly (ISIS formal information journal). The questions of the research are:

- How does ISIS terrorist organization view Taliban and what it rules about its faith?

- What a disconnection of thought can be seen in the view of ISIS towards the Taliban?

- What are the fundamentals of ISIS's beliefs about the Taliban's creed?

Research shows that despite the fact that the origin of the primary leaders of ISIS was from al Qaeda (Taliban allies), but both Taliban (after the death of Mullah Omar) and al-Qaeda (after the death of Osama bin Laden), referring to the books of the Najdi Wahhabis, especially the books of Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab and the Wahhabis of the generation after him, are considered apostates and the necessity of war with them is emphasized. As ISIS is actively seeking to recruit members of the Taliban, this can be converted into a great opportunity for anti- Wahhabism in Afghanistan, especially among the Pashtun population of Afghanistan.
