Islamic state of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) shared a Turkish video in their social media account, called for Turkey’s people to “jihad” and mentioned the “conquering of İstanbul”. Besides, ISIS accused the President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan of collaborating with the U.S.A.
Three militants with weapons are seen in the video, the one sitting in the middle speaks. ISIS’s first propaganda video directly targeting Turkey says:
…and then secular Kemal Atatürk came and forced Turkey’s people to deny their religions and imposed secularism. And then treacherous Erdoğan came and became friends with America, Jews, Crusaders, atheist PKK members and Free Syrian Army.
Yes, treacherous and taghut* Erdoğan opened air bases and betrayed Turkey befriending racist PKK and Crusaders and made Muslims in Damascus/Syria killed.
You became slaves at the hand of Crusader America and all your values were betrayed. This cursed taghut Erdoğan continued to be a servant to keep his shaky seat.
You will see that PKK captures eastern while Crusaders capture western Turkey and they will spread mischief, kill your children rape your women, grab your properties and enslave you. This is a great danger waiting for you.
Turkey’s people! You should immediately fight against this taghut, atheists and crusaders and repent!
Deny democracy, secularism and paganism until you fall dead for the sake of God.
Let’s conquer İstanbul altogether with the order of our leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi –God bless him-.
Our mujahid brothers in Turkey! Help the Islamic State wherever you are. We call for your help. Don’t you see the persecution coming from taghut? Come together with Islamic State.
God who reveals, rapidly secures the justice and fills the heaven with clouds, please pulverize the atheists and crusaders! And shake the thrones of taghuts and help us to fight against them. Praise to the God, the Almighty!”
* taghut is an Arabic word which means “cross the limits, overstep boundaries" , "to rebel” and refers to “paganism” in Islamic theology. (AS/BD)
