ISIS vows to expand war to India, makes direct reference to Modi in their magazine
An e-book titled ‘Black Flags’, allegedly released by Islamic State, has vowed to expand its fight to India, citing prophecies that refer to a global war. The manifesto reads, “The Islamic State would now expand beyond Iraq and Syria. It would now expand into… India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan (and several other countries).”
The manifesto has also referred to Narendra Modi as a right wing activist and describes him as 'a right-wing Hindu nationalist who worships weapons and is preparing his people for a future war against Muslims'.
The ISIS document, while bringing up Modi's name, erroneously refers to him as the 'President' instead of 'Prime Minister'.
In the book, ISIS also speaks of the political situation in India, it says, “a movement of Hindus is growing who kill Muslims who eat beef. The people who fund these organisations want to grow a huge following of Islam-haters who can turn into potential recruits for future wars in their countries”.
It further states that people, dissatisfied with "neutral" governments, are turning to right-wing groups which are "racist or ultra nationalist (and) who promise to return the rich days back to their people".
The e-book , which is being seen as global propaganda to influence Muslims to join its jihad by Indian experts, tells them that 'right now is just the preparation stage' (by the right-wing groups). "Groups are gathering weapons, explosives and men... what you will see in the coming years will be when real insurgencies (hit and run) tactics against Muslims will begin," it adds.
The IS goes on to advise Muslims to either migrate to a Muslim country as soon as possible, take up jihad or settle for humiliation "like the Spanish inquisition, where Muslims were tortured to death when Christians took back al-Andalus".
As part of its strategy to create an environment of fear among Muslims in countries where they are in a minority, including India, the ISIS e-book cautions them that the rulers there "will be arresting them on flimsy accusations and spending billions on stopping Muslim terrorists even as they get poorer due to the economic depression".
