KRG Blocked IS Website And Radio
2016-01-12
[NRTTV] In a statement from the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Ministry of Transportation and Communications, the KRG has reportedly interrupted an 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) propaganda website and the radio station. According to the statement, the network was cut off so the IS could not expand outreach within Kurdistan. The decision to restrict the media services was done by the KRG.

In order to avoid the violent rhetoric of IS in Kurdistan, the Ministry decided to cut off any vague networks that could be related to the holy warrior group.

Mawlood Bawamurad, Minister of Transportation and Communications said, "the decision from the KRG to cut off the website and radio of IS in order to avoid their message from entering of Kurdistan."

The KRG also instructed three ministries, including the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Culture and Youth, and the Ministry of Transportation and Communications, to avoid having IS websites and radios entering in Kurdistan. The stations are likely based in djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, a city seen as the IS headquarters in Iraq.

The Minister of Transportation and Communication added, "we have cut all networks that IS could benefit from in the area, which are not far from Kurdistan, especially Erbil and Duhok cities."

The action is seen as an effort to limit influence in the Kurdistan Region, as IS has used social media and traditional media to spread propaganda.
