Turkish IS militants warns Turkey government
ANKARA – The Islamic
State (IS) have released the latest of their slick video messages, this
time in Turkish, warning the people of Turkey that they must abandon
secularism and rise up against “atheists, crusaders and devils who fool
them and make them a slave of the crusaders.”
The militant labels President Recep
Tayyip Erdoğan as Satan, who has sold the country to the West, and rails
against Ankara’s decision to join the US-led coalition against IS.
Turks must, he says, take up arms
against Turkey in the name of IS, and disavow democracy, secularism and
human rights in favour of Sharia.
“Those who believe fight for the way of
God, while disbelievers fight on the side of Satan,” says the man
identified in Turkish media as an Emir who joined the jihadist group in
2014.
Turkey formally launched a campaign against the both IS and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) on July 24th, and around 1,600 suspected terrorists have been arrested since.
Whilst Turkey claims to have killed over
400 PKK militants in the campaign, very few bombing sorties have
targeted IS positions in Syria.
