“Those who carried burdens were loaded in such a way that each labored on the work with one hand and held his weapon with the other.” Nehemiah 4:17b (ESV)

While we drown in a pool of endless political correctness and a refusal to identify Islamic terrorism, ISIS has announced the launch of its own currency.
According to the Quran, only gold and silver should be used as exchange currencies. Thus, the ISIS currency will consist of gold, silver, and copper coins.
The back of their highest-value gold coins contains an image of the entire world, which represents the caliphate goal of global domination.
