Radical students hand out ISIS leaflets on Oxford Street in bid to tempt British Muslims to join Jihad

David Churchill

Published: 13 August 2014

Police were today probing leaflets handed out in the West End by radical students encouraging British Muslims to join the Islamic State (ISIS).

Dozens of the leaflets were circulated on Oxford Street last night saying it is the responsibility of Muslims to pledge allegiance to the “Khaleef” - a reference to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self-appointed leader of extremists waging a murderous campaign across northern Iraq.

Images of the group were posted on Twitter by users angered by the claims, including one British Muslim who claimed she had been “racially abused” after challenging the group.

The men, from Luton, are former students of banned cleric Omar Bakri and firebrand preacher Anjem Choudary.

Scotland Yard today confirmed it was assessing whether the contents of the leaflets is in breach of anti-terrorism laws.

The spread of pro-ISIS material has become a major concern for intelligence chiefs and last night’s demonstration is one of the most high-profile to date.

One of the leaflets encouraging British Muslims to join ISIS

While the wording of the leaflets, headed “Khilafah established”, avoids explicit reference to ISIS or al-Baghdadi, it says Muslims have seven duties including pledging allegiance to the khaleef and to migrate to the caliphate.

It reads: “Muslims with the help of Allah have announced the re-establishment of the Khilafah and appointed an imam as a Khaleef.”

Haras Rafiq, from counter-extremism thinktank the Quilliam Foundation, said: “Gaza is making a lot of Muslims angry and frustrated and they are using that to make people angrier, radicalise and, it seems, travel out there.

“When they talk about migrating, is that an open call for the people of Britain to go there? Because that is against Government policy, who have said people would be arrested on their return, and a very dangerous message.

“If that is the case, these people are giving out leaflets encouraging people to go out there and join Isis, therefore it seems illegal.”

Ghaffar Hussain, managing director of the foundation, denounced the material as a “clear breach of the law”.

He said: “This is a very disturbing development but one that should not come as a surprise since we are aware that around 500 British nationals have joined up with ISIS already.

“We need to have a zero tolerance policy towards ISIS supporters and recruiters in the UK. It is about supporting one of the most evil groups we have ever seen.”

MPs and anti-radicalisation campaigners have called for an investigation

The group, considered so violent even al-Qaeda has severed links with them, has been behind some of the most murderous terrorism seen in recent weeks with reports of beheadings, rapes and massacres in an area it controls now larger than Great Britain. They have forced thousands of Yazidis to flee up mount Sinjar where the UK and US continues to drop aid packages.

During yesterday’s canvassing British-Iraqi university student, Asmaa Al-kufaishi, tweeted pictures of the group and told how she was “abused” after challenging them.

She posted: “This group are promoting ISIS on Oxford Street. Racially abused us when we spoke out. They don’t know Islam.”

A counter-extremism said that the worsening situation in Gaza is causing anger

She later added: “Promoting death of innocent people, telling me to die because of my faith and race and insulting me is not Islamic behaviour.”

Choudary today confirmed the men were his and Bakri’s former students and said there was “nothing wrong” with wanting “to go to live there and bring up your children under the khilafah”.

He claimed the reports of slaughter were “not true” and that Muslims were living in “peace and security under the Sharia”.

A Met spokesman said: “The Metropolitan Police Service has been made aware of leaflets which reports state were distributed in the Oxford Street area.

“We are assessing the content of the leaflets to establish whether any criminal offences have been committed.”

MP Keith Vaz, chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, said: “I am deeply concerned by this literature being handed out on the streets of London.

“Whilst freedom of speech is important we should not allow people to promote extremist views which could lead to terrorist acts. The public should not be subjected to a terrorist recruitment drive in the middle of Europe’s biggest shopping high street.

“We have laws governing such issues and I shall be asking Bernard Hogan-Howe, the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, what he is doing to ensure that the law is upheld.”

The Qur'aan says:

يَـٰٓأَيُّہَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِن جَآءَكُمۡ فَاسِقُۢ بِنَبَإٍ۬ فَتَبَيَّنُوٓاْ أَن تُصِيبُواْ قَوۡمَۢا بِجَهَـٰلَةٍ۬ فَتُصۡبِحُواْ عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلۡتُمۡ نَـٰدِمِينَ

[49:6] O you who believe, if a sinful person brings you a report, verify its correctness, lest you should harm a people out of ignorance, and then become remorseful on what you did.


Allah, the Exalted, says:

"And follow not (O man) that of which you have no knowledge.'' (17:36)

"Not a word does he (or she) utter, but there is a watcher by him ready (to record it).'' (50:18)

Abu Hurairah (radiallahu anh) said: The Prophet (salallahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said, "It is enough for a man to prove himself a liar when he goes on narrating whatever he hears.''
[Muslim]

We learn from this Hadeeth that it is not fair to accept everything one hears as true without verifying it. Nor it is right to communicate it to others because it is quite possible that what one has heard is untrue and by communicating it to others, he adds it to his own lies.

UN moves to rein in Islamic State group

The United Nations Security Council has taken a tough line against the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, blacklisting six people including the group's spokesman and threatening sanctions against its financiers and weapons suppliers.

The 15-member council unanimously adopted on Friday a resolution that aims to weaken the Islamic State - an al-Qaeda splinter group that has seized swaths of territory in Iraq and Syria and declared a caliphate - and al-Qaeda's Syrian wing al-Nusra Front.

The Islamic State, formerly known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has long been blacklisted by the Security Council, while al-Nusra Front was added earlier this year.

"We have watched in horror their brutal actions," said Mark Lyall Grant, UK ambassador to the UN and presiding officer of the UN council meeting. "They are deliberately targeting civlians."

Both groups are designated under the UN al-Qaeda sanctions regime. 

Friday's resolution named six people who will be subject to an international travel ban, asset freeze and arms embargo. They include Islamic State spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, an Iraqi described by UN experts as one of the group's "most influential emirs" and close to its leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

The Islamic State's swift and brutal push to the borders of Iraq's autonomous ethnic Kurdish region and towards Baghdad has sparked the first US air strikes in Iraq since the withdrawal of American troops in 2011.

The Security Council resolution "deplores and condemns in the strongest terms the terrorist acts of ISIL and its violent extremist ideology, and its continued gross, systematic and widespread abuses of human rights and violations of international humanitarian law."

Individuals blacklisted

The resolution also blacklisted Said Arif, a former Algerian army officer who escaped house arrest in France in 2013 and joined al-Nusra Front in Syria, and Abdul Mohsen Abdallah Ibrahim al-Charekh of Saudi Arabia, dubbed "a leading terrorist internet propagandist" who heads the group in Syria's Latakia district.

Hamid Hamad Hamid al-Ali and Hajjaj bin Fahd al-Ajmi, both from Kuwait, were sanctioned for allegedly providing financial support to al-Nusra Front - Ajmi's fundraising includes at least one Twitter campaign, according to UN experts - while Abdelrahman Mouhamad Zafir al-Dabidi al-Jahani of Saudi Arabia was named because he runs al-Nusra Front's foreign fighter networks.

Britain initially aimed to adopt the text by the end of August, but accelerated its plan after a surge by the Islamic State, which poses the biggest threat to Iraq since Saddam Hussein was toppled by a US-led invasion in 2003.

The resolution condemns the recruitment of foreign fighters and expresses readiness to blacklist people financing or facilitating travel of foreign fighters.

It expresses concern that revenue generated from oilfields captured by both groups is being used to organise attacks.

Islamic State fighters are selling oil from oilfields in Iraq and refineries they control to local communities and smugglers, augmenting their existing ample finances, US intelligence officials said on Thursday.

The resolution condemns any direct or indirect trade with Islamic State or Nusra Front and warns such moves could lead to more sanctions.

The distribution was done, the accusation only Allah knows.

I love it how we apply these Verses and narrations whenever we like and brush them under the carpet whenever we like (no pun intended). Although you got a point, there are some serious questions and concerns about this group. Believe me...

I would take out the word fully in case someone takes the wrong idea. :)

Fact is, no one knows any better, so instead of discussing rumours, it's better to leave it to Allah and let time tell us, since we can't verify anything. slowly but surely everything will be made clear.

The point is, we aren't extremists on this site so you will not find support, just questions.

Before this forum, thread and its users are taken out of context, the mods should keep this thread locked and throw the key's away.
