In Istanbul mosques Azerbaijani jihadists are trained for war in Syria

Terrorist organization Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has occupied almost all the mosques in Istanbul where citizens of Azerbaijan are being trained for a future war in Syria. As Azerbaijani news portal Haqqin.az reports, this was announced by one of the leaders of Jafari religious movement Hasan Kanaalti.

He mentioned that ISIL has taken control of a number of mosques in the regions of Fatih, Ataşehir, Esenyurt and Bağcılar. Young people from Azerbaijan undergo training in these mosques after which they are sent to war in Syria, reports the source. 
“The authorities do nothing and we are going to ensure the security of our community ourselves. We have called for meetings with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, however we haven’t received any response from him for more than 10 days,” said Kanaalti.
According to him a couple of days ago there was an attack on Muhammadi mosque where the members of Jafari community were holding gatherings; the attack was probably carried out by the members of ISIL.

“We were told that we would not be allowed to pray Azan. One of the regions in which ISIL is based is Fatih. There the Salafis distribute booklets and fuel anti-Shia aggression. They have created an extended network of their missions in Ataşehir where prior to being sent to Syria young jihadists from Azerbaijan are hosted for a couple of days. The government cannot but know about this”, - he said.

As reported by Iranian news agency IRNA, the restraints on political and religious activities in Azerbaijan are one of the main reasons why ISIL considers this country a fertile soil for the recruitment of jihadists. On the world map published by ISIL Azerbaijan has to be a part of the caliphate proclaimed by this organization.

The citizens of Azerbaijan are fighting among various terrorist groupings in Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan. According to the data of Azerbaijani information agency Vesti.az, the total number of the Azerbaijani terrorists in these countries is 300. Meanwhile, according to the information provided by the Azerbaijani mass media only in Syria about 200 Azerbaijani terrorists died within the last three years. Mass media has also many times informed about the liquidation of the commanders among the Azerbaijani terrorists.

Group of ‘‘ISIL / ISIS’’ has called on Azerbaijani people to join their struggle

“Azerbaijan and Turkey will soon become Islamic states,” stated the grouping of “Islamic state in Iraq and Levant”(ISIS), the “Ghavghaz.ir” reports.

The ISIS terroristic group members have turned to Azerbaijani and Turkish population in the social networks and have called on joining them. Azerbaijan and Turkey are painted black in the maps disseminated by the ISIS.

Recently, a member of IRI Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Mehdi Davatgar has turned to the military activities that have occurred between ISIS armed grouping and the Troops of Iraq and has noted in particular, “ISIS will not get satisfied with Iraq and Syria only. It is aimed at expanding in Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, Pakistan and Kuwait.”

Yesterday, Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi had declared “jihad” for the sake of Iraq’s integrity.

12 AZERI ISIS FIGHTERS KILLED IN SYRIA LAST WEEK

12 foreign fighters from Azerbaijan were killed in Syria last week, according to Azeri media reports. The men were fighting for the Islamic State of Iraq and as-Sham (ISIS).

One of those killed, Rufat Ashurli, was from the city of Sumqayit. At least nine men from Sumqayit have been reported killed in Syria, according to local authorities in the city.

The local authorities reported that, “Rufat Ashurli, a graduate of the Azerbaijan State Oil Academy had a younger brother who was killed in Syria a few months ago, Nijat Ashurli, born in 1985, known by the nickname Abu Yahya al-Azeri. There are five brothers, two were killed in Syria. We spoke with the other brothers, they have not fallen under the influence of the Khawarij like Nijat and Rufat, and assure (us) that under no circumstances will they go to Syria to fight.”

There are confusing reports about one of the other men reportedly killed last week, Zahid Nasirov, known as “Rabbani”, whom the Azeri police say died in Syria 9 months ago and had no higher education but spoke Arabic.

Vesti.az reports that another ISIS fighter named Jeykhun Suleiman was killed last week in Raqqa.

According to the report Suleiman was the husband of 14-year old Najaf Kerimov, who was killed on January 10 in Syria. Vesti.az writes that, in the summer of 2013 Najaf’s father traveled to fight in Syria , together with his wife and children (16 years Irada, 14 -year-old Najaf, 10 -year-old Sarah and 5 -year-old Fatima).

According to Azeri police, another man from Sumqayit, named Agil, currently fights with Jabhat al-Nusra.

Another man Nijat Ashurli, who was killed in September, was commander of one of the divisions of the group Jaish al-Muhajireen wal Ansar.

Аt the time, JMA was led by Umar Shishani and had a sizable Azeri jamaat. This post on FiSyria is an address by Abu Yahya al-Azeri. It is likely that the jamaat moved over to ISIS with Umar Shishani.

EGYPTIAN CLERIC: MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AUTHORIZES 'ANAL JIHAD' FOR LONELY TERRORISTS

An Egyptian cleric formerly known as the "preacher of the revolution" during the revolt against President Hosni Mubarak warned Egyptian television viewers this week that Muslim Brotherhood sheiks have issued a fatwa permitting "anal jihad" for terrorists far from their wives, which is exactly what it sounds like.
