| ISIS to launch TV station based in Sirte: report |
| 2014-10-13 |
| [Libya Herald] ISIS, also know as the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... and Daash, is to launch a satellite TV station called Tawheed, broadcasting propaganda from Sirte. An official page for the new station which has appeared on social media says that it will be transmitting a "call for uniformity to all parts of the world". The page claims that Tawheed will broadcast messages from various religious figures. Mustafa Zand, a leader of the Libyan Popular National Movement, a group with strong ties to the former regime and which was banned from taking part in elections in 2012, has claimed two other television channels are under the direction of the co-called Islamic State. Speaking on the Egyptian programme Cairo Today, Zand alleged that stations in Sabratha and Derna as well as Sirte were already controlled by the Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... group. With Takfiri camps near both Sabratha and Sirte, the two towns are viewed as increasingly Islamist strongholds. However, there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened... holy warrior groups in the towns have not publicly declared their allegiance to ISIS or its leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us... . Derna's Shoura Council of Islamic Youth is said to have aligned itself with Daesh. While the group has been responsible for a string of public executions in Derna and has secured control of the town's courts, it does not hold the balance of power there. Last month festivities between the Shoura Council and Abu Saleem Martyr's brigade left at least six dead as the two militias battled for control of Derna. |

| #1 My first thought was, a fixed target! But we're not bombing Libya . Anymore. We fixed Libya when we facilitated the departure of Kaddafi. |
