The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), also known as the Islamist State, has published the 28th edition of its propaganda magazine called “Voice of Khurasan”.
This magazine is released by the ISIS publication front al-Azaim Foundation. In this recent issue, the ISIS publication has targeted Hindus, particularly in the context of the Nuh violence that unfolded during the shobha yatra. The extremist group called for violent actions against Hindus, advocating for their killing, and the destruction of their homes, businesses, crops, and religious idols in the name of Islam.
Furthermore, the publication issued threats towards Anil Vij, the Home Minister of Haryana, due to his involvement in the demolition of illegal structures after the Nuh violence. ISIS seemed angered by the arrest of more than 500 suspected Islamists associated with the anti-Hindu violence in Nuh. They also pointed fingers at Monu Manesar and Bittu Bajrangi for allegedly inciting violence, despite police confirming their innocence in this matter.
According to OpIndia, in a chapter titled “Bring Back The Golden Ages of Crashing Idols,” ISIS labeled Hindus as cowards who were unable to repel Muslim invaders. They argued that British colonization was responsible for the decline of Muslim rule in India, while gloating over the destruction of Hindu temples during invasions. The publication also accused certain imposters within the Muslim ranks of aiding British efforts to suppress Islamic rule.
The article continued to accuse India and Hindus of oppressing and persecuting Muslims. It criticized Hindus for pursuing legal actions to claim the disputed structure at Gyanvapi. The article highlighted the emergence of the Ayodhya dispute and how it reflected a growing Hindu resistance against Islam and Muslims.
As the Indian Supreme Court permitted an archaeological survey of the disputed site, ISIS disparaged the court as “The Supreme Court of the Hindu Tawagheet,” using a term from Islamic doctrine that signifies worshiping entities other than Allah.
The article ultimately called for “Jihad” against Hindus, urging Muslims in India to engage in violence against them. It advocated for burning Hindus alive, destroying their properties, and employing various lethal methods to eliminate them.
Additionally, in another section titled “Ibadaah of Bloodshed: the Ultimate Treatment of Hindus in This Worldly Life,” ISIS targeted Anil Vij and accused him of permitting a Hindu procession armed with weapons through Muslim-majority areas in Nuh. They also blamed Monu Manesar and Bittu Bajrangi for allegedly inciting violence through social media videos, despite evidence to the contrary.
ISIS accused Hindus of killing an Imam and demolishing Muslim houses, while denouncing police actions and Supreme Court decisions. The group threatened to avenge what they saw as injustices committed by Hindus, calling for more violence against them.
The magazine also quoted Meer Faisal, an Islamist and a self-proclaimed journalist. He was cited in three posts from July 30, which ISIS likely used as a basis for its propaganda magazine.
Meer Faisal’s has history of spreading false information accusing Hindus of violence and promoting divisive narratives. He had once spewed venom saying all non-Muslims are the same, “kafirs” (an insulting term in Islam for those who don’t believe in Allah).
