| 2015-07-08 |
| [RUDAW.NET] A tribal leader in Anbar province said 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.... , or ISIS, is actively trying to lure local children into its ranks as jacket wallahs and has asked Baghdad to take action against the bad boy group. "The Islamic State entered many areas of Anbar and started recruiting children from the local tribes of Anbar. They have camps in Raqqa and Hiit where they train them," Sheikh Khalid Awad al-Shabani told Rudaw on Tuesday. "We ask the government to expedite the process of liberating the areas under ISIS control and destroy the camps that recruit children," he added. The sheikh also stressed that the bad boys' radical interpretation of Sunni Islam was not welcomed in Sunni-majority Anbar province. "We all know that bad boy ideology of ISIS is not related to Islam. They make up verses that do not exist in the Koran," he added, According to the sheikh, ISIS brainwashes the newly recruited children in their camps in Rutbah and al-Qaem in Iraq and teaches them how to carry out suicide kabooms against military checkpoints and civilians. "The government has the responsibility to direct the parents to prevent their children from joining ISIS. The government should use all its forces in order to prevent recruiting children," Shabani said |
