“The website published a translation of an ISIS article titled ‘Kill The Idolaters Wherever You Find Them.'”
Wow, what vicious “extremists,” right?
Well, there is this: “And when the sacred months have passed, then kill the idolaters wherever you find them and capture them and besiege them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush. But if they should repent, establish prayer, and give zakah, let them [go] on their way. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” (Qur’an 9:5)
“On March 2, 2020, the website published a Turkish translation of an article whose title was given as ‘And Allah Is The Best Of The Trap-Setters.'”
Heavens to betsy, these “extremist” chaps are really hijacking and misunderstanding their peaceful religion, aren’t they? Pope Francis, call your office!
But, well, there is this also: “And when those who disbelieved plotted against you to restrain you or kill you or evict you, they plot, and Allah plots. And Allah is the best of plotters. (Qur’an 8:30)
“Turkish Website Posts ISIS Videos, Reports Of Attacks, Articles, Editorials, Weekly, Infographics, Brochures: ‘Kill The Idolaters Wherever You Find Them,'” MEMRI, March 20, 2020:
A Turkish-language news website promotes the worldview of the Islamic State (ISIS) and is updated daily. The website posts: ISIS videos with Turkish subtitles; infographics and daily reports on ISIS attacks; translations from ISIS publications; news articles and editorials that push ISIS ideology; and ISIS fatwas, brochures, nasheeds, and Arabic-language PDFs of ISIS weekly Al-Naba’. The website promotes its Telegram channel, which has 241 members.
The website gets 879 visitors per day, or about 26,370 per month.
The following report will review content published on the website.
ISIS Videos With Turkish Subtitles
A video gallery on the website presents ISIS videos with Turkish subtitles.
One such video features a speech by the late Abu Mus’ab Al-Zarqawi, former head of Al-Tawheed Wal-Jihad in Iraq, a precursor of ISIS.
Another one features late Yemeni-American sheikh and Al-Qaeda leader Anwar Al-‘Awlaki.
The website also hosts a video series called “Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) Contradictions.”
Infographics And Daily Updates Report ISIS Attacks
The website also publishes news of ISIS attacks. On March 11, it posted a report titled: “The Mass Mortar Attack By The Caliphate Soldiers On The Nigerian Army.” The report reads in part: “The attacks of the Caliphate soldiers in Nigeria, which is the stronghold of the Islamic State in Africa, targeting the apostate Nigerian army, are continuing with all their intensity.”
The website posts a daily “Islamic State War Bulletin” listing the attacks and reports of fighting from the Islamic state. The March 11, 2020 issue lists attacks and fighting in Syria, the Sinai Desert, and West Africa.
The “war bulletins” have been posted daily since June 2018.
The website shares Turkish translations of official ISIS infographics released in ISIS’s Al-Naba’ weekly newspaper. The infographics give information on ISIS attacks, including the number and type of attacks, the number, rank, and nationality of people killed and captured, and the number of vehicles destroyed and seized. Other infographics described subjects such as the memorization of the Quran, the best way to recite the name of Allah, and “brotherhood for the sake of Allah.”
Translations Of ISIS Material Encourage Supporters To Join Jihad
The website translates articles and interviews from ISIS publications such as its defunct monthly magazines Dabiq and Rumiyah, as well as Konstantiniyye, which was the group’s Turkish-language magazine. The website hosts a series of transcripts of broadcasts from ISIS’s internet radio Al-Bayan. The series is titled “Tales Of The Mobilization Of Islamic State Soldiers” and tells the stories of individual foreign fighters who traveled to join ISIS.
The website has a section titled “There Are Such Men From Among The Believers…” giving biographies of ISIS fighters as translated from ISIS publications Dabiq, Rumiyah¸ and Konstantiniyye.
The website published a translation of an ISIS article titled “Kill The Idolaters Wherever You Find Them.” The translation gives the Muharram 1438 issue, corresponding with October 2016, of ISIS’s Rumiyah magazine, published by Al-Hayat Media, as the source of the article.
On March 2, 2020, the website published a Turkish translation of an article whose title was given as “And Allah Is The Best Of The Trap-Setters.” The translation gives the Shaban 1436 issue, corresponding with May-June 2015, of ISIS’s Dabiq magazine, published by Al-Hayat Media, as the source of the article.
Another section of the website, titled “How Much Today Resembles Yesterday!” includes translations of texts from jihadi leaders including Osama bin Laden.
News Articles Seek To Discredit Rival Jihadi Groups Including The Taliban And Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS)
The website regularly posts news articles giving an ISIS interpretation of world events. One recent article is titled: “The U.S. Confessed: We Supported The Taliban Against The Islamic State.” The article reads in part: “By the kindness of almighty Allah, the true face of the Taliban continues to be revealed.” It describes how Gen. Kenneth McKenzie Jr., commander of U.S. Central Command, said that the U.S. had been giving limited support to the Taliban in order to fight ISIS.
Another recent article on the website is titled: “The Results Of The Creed And Method That Al-Qaeda Put Forward On The Soil Of Syria.” The article describes how “the people of Idlib, who are being secularized by HTS and Al-Qaeda, continue to display their rejection [i.e., of Islam].”
On January 7, the website published an article titled “The Punishment For The Insult To The Messenger Of Allah” praising the two men who attacked the offices of the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo. January 7 was the fifth anniversary of the day two jihadis killed 12 people and injured 11 others at Charlie Hebdo, which had published satirical cartoons of Muhammad, before fleeing, reportedly saying: “We have avenged the Prophet Muhammad. We have killed Charlie Hebdo!”
Website Prays For Death Of Turkish President, Calls Him Tağut (“Tyrant”)
The website is hostile to the government of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. A March 10 news article reports on how Erdoğan “bragged” that Turkey is “the only NATO country that is fighting the Islamic State in close combat and is giving martyrs for this.”
Another article refers to Erdoğan as the “tağut [tyrant] of the secular Turkish regime.” It refers to Turkish parliament as “the assembly of unbelief,” and says: “Our wish to almighty Allah is for this tyrant, who is sustaining a violent war against the Muslims and who brags at every opportunity of how he makes war against the Islamic State, to die as soon as possible from the corona virus or for some other reason.”
The website published a report on March 7 titled “HTS Thanks Turkey.”
Columnists Comment On Shari’a, The Mujahideen, ISIS, The Crusaders, And The Apostates
The website features articles by four columnists: Ebu Musab Et-Turki, Ebu Samir El-Kureyşi, Ebu Ğureyb Eş-Şami, and Ebu Leys El-Anbari.
Ebu Musab Et-Turki’s columns have titles such as “The Shari’a That It Is Claimed Is Being Applied In Idlib And The Truth About It” and “Who Is A Mujahid And Who Can Be Called A Martyr?”
Ebu Ğureyb Eş-Şami’s columns have titles such as “Did The Islamic State Change Its Creed?” and “Oh Sons Of Islam, I am Speaking To You!”
Ebu Leys El-Anbari’s columns have titles such as “What Pushes The Crusader Countries And Their Apostate Friends To Fear The Children Of The Islamic State As Well?”…

This is my latest contribution to humanity which I have posted on my Facebook page.
……….
HOW MANY POLICE OFFICERS DOES IT TAKE TO MONITOR ONE POTENTIAL ISLAMIC TERRORIST?
I have read that the number is 30. No doubt the CBC is investigating this and will release the information to the public under the heading WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.
BEFORE YOU READ THIS PLEASE KNOW that Muslims who are already in Canada have the same rights as every other person in Canada and should not be harassed or discriminated against because of their “religion”.
At the same time we will soon lose our freedoms if we do not adopt a policy of keeping out those who are opposed to freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom of and from religion, gender equality and equality of citizenship. Unfortunately we are not being well served by a media composed of ignorami and cowards, so I am forced to take time from my well deserved retirement to bring you this message as a public service.
…………..
Publication of how much money has been spent in Canada since 9/11 surveilling and monitoring potential Islamic terrorists and investigating, prosecuting, trying and incarcerating Islamic terrorists within Canada and what medical supplies could have been purchased with that money would be most appreciated.
A list of the Mosques which are refusing to support the survival lockdown and are therefore threatening everyone, especially the Muslims who attend them, would also be appreciated. We know that globalism and political correctness are a threat to our way of life. So is Islam. Please fight back with facts.
This is a good time for a second Exodus. Loving Muslims should leave Islam, an ideology that commands its adherents to submit and then kill rather than think and love. God gave us free will. Use it.
A Gnostic Agnostic says
The shahada is a necessarily false witness contrary to the ten commandments, thus
one must sever from any possible “Abrahamic” god by taking the Islamic shahada,
making a good candidate for the ‘Mark of the Beast’.
All sane individuals should recognize the shahada as a false witness by reminding everyone
it is not possible to bear a true witness of a dead man. The Muhammadans thus ‘idolize’ Muhammad according to whatever they believe him to have been. The real ‘idol worship’ is happening in/as Islam, however due to their upside-down and scapegoating nature, the Muhammadans religiously scapegoat their own pathology onto others, a prime example being “Islamophobia”.
The House of Islam has been scapegoating their own crimes onto Jews even since the time of Muhammad, thus expect to realize that the Muslims themselves are the real “Jews” who are doing anything/everything they accuse the Jews of doing. This involves projecting their own crimes onto Jews as the Muhammadans are committing them. The ideology is rooted in pathological scapegoating/blaming of others for what the Muhammadan is themselves guilty of.
They can not stand their own guilt, therefor they have others suffer it.
That is the House of Islam: the world is their scapegoat.

Thank you …their insanity so well stated … hard to understand …satan is the author of confusion and so there is the witness …
mortimer says
Thanks, Terry … this quote is the essential:
“…we will soon lose our freedoms if we do not adopt a policy of keeping out those who are opposed to freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, freedom of and from religion, gender equality and equality of citizenship”
It would be better to say … ‘freedom of religion and freedom of conscience’.

You will no doubt be shocked to see that I think my formulation is perfect.
I am a Christian but I believe that freedom requires that people have freedom of religion and freedom from religion. Freedom in the sense of no state imposed consequences.
I have great admiration for your knowledge of Islamic doctrine (just as I have great admiration for Graven Image’s knowledge of Islamic history and Wellington’s knowledge of Catholicism, which greatly exceeds my own, and his brave attempts to argue with me as to whether Islam is a religion or just an evil ideology.)
My only suggestion is that for that those of us who are less well-informed it would be helpful if you cited the particular Suras you are referencing when you attempt to enlighten us.
Thank you for the feedback.

Great post, Terry Gain…

Good post, Terry. Do you have a link to your Facebook page?
Boromir's Horn says
Wait a minute, can the coronavirus be spread with a knife? Maybe Erdogan needs to put in an addendum.
mortimer says
High-jackers of Islam, you say?
Hijack this:
The Koran’s 164 Jihad Verses: K 2:178-179, 190-191, 193-194, 216-218, 244; 3:121-126, 140-143, 146, 152-158, 165-167,169, 172-173, 195; 4:71-72, 74-077, 84, 89-91, 94-95,100-104; 5:33, 35, 82; 8:1, 5, 7, 9-10, 12, 15-17, 39-48, 57-60, 65-75; 9:5, 12-14, 16, 19-20, 24-26, 29, 36, 38-39, 41, 44, 52, 73, 81, 83, 86, 88, 92, 111, 120, 122-123; 16:110; 22:39, 58, 78; 24:53, 55; 25:52; 29:6, 69; 33:15, 18, 20, 23, 25-27, 50; 42:39; 47:4, 20, 35; 48:15-24; 49:15; 59:2, 5-8, 14; 60:9; 61:4, 11, 13; 63:4; 64:14; 66:9; 73:20; 76:8.
Jihad-terrorism is normative Islam, rather than an aberration.
Mark says
The only difference between ISIS and every other Muslim is that ISIS tells you the truth….. they’re murderers
Muslims pretend they’re all about peace while Friday mosque reminds them they’re murderers
Islam’s founder Muhammad proclaimed “I have been victorious thru terror”
Quran teachings:
Quran 2:191 “kill them wherever you overtake them……such is the recompense of the disbelievers”
Quran 47:4 “when you meet disbelievers strike their necks”
Quran 4:89 “if they turn away (from islam) seize them & kill them”
Quran 5:51 ” take no Jew or Christian as an ally”
Quran 8:12 “cast TERROR into the hearts of those who disbelieve, so strike their necks”
Quran 8:60 “prepare whatever steeds of war you are able that you may TERRIFY the enemies of allah”
Quran 8:67 “it is not for a prophet to have captives of war until he inflicts a slaughter upon the land”
Quran 9:5 “when the sacred months have passed, then kill the polytheists”
Quran 8:39 “fight til all religion is for allah”
Hadith 6985 “the last hour will not come until muslims will fight against the Jews, and muslims will kill the Jews….”
There are 109 verses of persecution & murder against non-muslims (aka disbelievers)
islam is a cult of bullying, aggression, intolerance and yes murdering simply for being a disbeliever
……islam has no place in civilized society
Prison psychologist Nicholai Sennels wrote “mind numbing repetition of Islam’s exceedingly violent verses makes many muslims ticking time bombs wherever they live”
#WalkAwayFromIslam
#WalkAwayFromDemocrats (promoters & defenders of Islam)
Terry Gain says
With respect, there are other differences. The first that comes to mind is that ISIS acts on its beliefs. Not every Muslim murders and rapes but every Muslim is in adherent of an ideology that commands murder and condones rape.
James Lincoln says
Terry Gain says,
“…every Muslim is in adherent of an ideology that commands murder and condones rape.”
That is true, Terry.
But we keep hearing the arguments, even here at Jihad Watch, that even though islam is evil to the core and the mother load of bad ideas, the same descriptions do not apply to all muslims.
But all muslims, in either a very small or a very large degree, directly or indirectly, support islam.
You cannot separate muslims from islam – just like you cannot separate Nazis from Nazi-ism…
Avenger says
Excellent Mark!
When my fellow naive “infidel” friends and family begin vomiting the lie that islam is all about peace, I will offer them printed copies of your post. Hopefully they’ll be inquisitive enough to start researching the history and teachings of this loathsome death cult.

Thank you Mark. I apologize for my comment below which must seem like a quibble. This is an excellent list

I just find it weird that Erdogan hasn’t tried to ban this website. I mean he has banned twitter, youtube and wikipedia over much less than openly calling for his assassination..
Daniel Triplett says
All in the Ummah share the same goal: Every human submits to Allah
From the kebab shop vendor in Cologne, to the submissive housewife/mother in Mogadishu, to the sword wielding rapist and murderer in Mosul. They all conspire toward the same goal, and as such must all be held equally accountable.
Our grandfathers already showed us how this works.

Turkey: Website promotes ISIS material, including article called “Kill The Idolaters Wherever You Find Them”
………….
And why not? This is orthodox Islam.
OLD GUY says
Islam nothing but hate, rape, murder and lies. The ideal “religion” of mass murders and rapist, what possibly are the followers of Muhammad thinking. Or is it really true that its followers are ignorant uneducated people who do not have the ability to think for their self. Their clerics and imams sure come from a different beed of men, they seem to totally dwell on hate, violence and total domination of their followers more in line with a dictatorship than a religion. It’s amazing that so many men and women become believers of this cult style religion.
Battle says
As usual reply denied again.
Is there a reply denier tyrant?
Battle says
ISIS caliph tyrant says Turkey Erdogan caliph “Tyrant,” Taliban caliph tyrant “apostate,” Al Quada caliph tyrant “apostate,” and Syria government “secular.”
ISIS caliph tyrant hypocritical?
