The Trajectory of ISIS: Political Discourse and Youth Agenda

IntroductionThe influence of Muslim State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) is diffusion fast not only in the Middle East entirely also across the globe. The sophistication and intensity of the ISISs onslaughts to expand their stain has raised interrogates of how they manage to accomplish their missions in the recent past. Most studies on the problems facing Middle East have focused on the adjacent issues and concerns related to radical Moslem groups however, this research seeks to investigate the future of ISIS in the dimension of youth agenda. Studies have shown that majority of the youth in Islamic states believe that Islam should play a role in the political discussion (Motadel, 2014 Sarikil, 2010). Their demand, based on theory, is that states based on Islamic principles are more desirable than adept with liberal approach to governance (Motadel, 2014). Although the youth impulse to have states under strong Islamic principles, history indicates that youth pitch more importa nce to their ethnic and sectarian identities than to their national identity (Jung and Raudvere, 2008). The emergent problem, among other issues, in this scenario is that the imagined ideal Islamic state is in foreland because there is no single Islamic identity that everyone would agree upon. Therefore, one fundamental question arises, what is this Islamic State being advanced by the ISIS and what is it practicality in the perspective of future political discourse? We advance this question further and ask What do the Muslim youth believe in the purely Islamic State and systemIs there any single Islamic ideology among the Muslim youthsIf yes, what are these ideologiesIf no, what are the conflicting differences and what do they mean value for the future of ISIS?ReferenceJung, D. and Raudvere, C.
