| Over 30 Jihadist Groups Support IS, Monitoring Center Says |
| 2015-04-03 |
| [AnNahar] More than 20 jihadist groups have pledged their allegiance to 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.... movement and 10 others have voiced their support for the bad boy organization, according to U.S. monitoring body IntelCenter. A list published by the center which monitors bad boy groups shows these 31 organizations are dotted across the world in an arc going from Algeria in the west to Indonesia in the east. 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... , the head of IS which controls swathes of Syria and Iraq, proclaimed the establishment of an "Islamic caliphate" at the end of June last year after his fighters captured the Iraqi city of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , asking all Moslems around the world to swear allegiance to him. A jihadist group in Algeria, another in Egypt's restive Sinai Peninsula, and one in Leb immediately pledged their allegiance to the new chief, followed over the next weeks and months by 18 other movements including Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... in Nigeria -- taking the total so far to 21. Ten other groups have voiced their support for IS, without pledging formal allegiance, IntelCenter said. These 31 groups are very different in size and importance -- some meticulously structured with hundreds and even thousands of fighters, others barely existing or break-aways from known jihadist movements, experts say. |
