The Islamic State of Detroit had its origins in the Salafi Islamic traditions. They believed in offensive Jihad against the unbelievers surrounding them and saw the defeat of the National Guard as proof that Allah was with them. Twilight’s crew soon found evidence that they were planning a full assault on the National Guard lines, and that the populace did not support their leaders. The Salafis ruled through terror, disappearing entire families of those not sufficiently obedient to their leaders. Twilight’s crew rescued a reporter and her family from one of the government’s “disciplinary teams” and she quickly became their closest ally in the city. And through her Twilight found out just how many people actively stood against the government.
