Convert to Islam or get ready to die and face Allah’s wrath:
ISIS threatens nationalist Janam TV
ISIS threatens nationalist Janam TV
As per reports, Janam Tv has seen a drastic rise in TRP ratings and now features in top five Malayalam news channels in the State. The said channel provides a nationalist perspective in Kerala which is dominated by far-left media.
Are most countries dominated by far-left media? Seems that way to me. Do you suppose it's a coincidence?
The Islamic State (ISIS) has reportedly threatened to deface the offices of a nationalist Kerala-based channel, Janam TV. Besides, it threatened to kill all employees working at the said channel. In light of the threats given by the terrorist outfit, State police chief Loknath Behra has ordered the police department to enhance the security at the offices of Janam TV.

ISIS sent threats to Janam TV over Instagram
The Kerala unit of Islamic State (ISIS) has reportedly sent threats to the channel over Instagram. The terror outfit intimidated the employees of the channel to convert to the religion of Islam or get exterminated. The message read, “Mujahideen’s Message to Janam TV! We invite you to convert to Islam or else get ready to say goodbye to the world and face Allah’s wrath and punishment.”

Police in the UK may drop terms like 'Islamist terror' and 'jihadi' after a Muslim policing group complained they fuel negative stereotypes and suggested substituting less “offensive” terms like 'faith-claimed terrorism.’
The National Association of Muslim Police has complained the use of terms like “Islamist terror” that “have a direct link to Islam and Jihad…do not help community relations and public confidence,” arguing they instead contribute to discrimination, Islamophobia, and negative perceptions of Muslims.
Instead, they want attackers motivated by religious ideology to be described with the Arabic word ‘irhabi,’ used in the Middle East to describe extremist views – or, if using an Arabic word is a bridge too far for the British police, as ‘faith-claimed terrorism,’ ‘terrorists abusing religious motivations,’ or ‘adherents of Osama bin Laden’s ideology.’
The subject was discussed at an online conference last month addressed by Met Police Assistant Commissioner Neil Basu, head of counterterrorism policing, though the matter did not become public until it was reported by the Times on Monday – meeting with more than a little mockery (and some serious concern) on social media.
Counter-extremist think tank Quilliam’s David Toube panned the idea, warning the Times, “People do not like to feel that they are being told only the partial truth…[that] there is a serious problem with Islamist terrorism.”
The use of any term that obscures that fact risks damaging public trust in the police.
Met Chief Superintendent Nik Adams said the meeting had been convened to look at opinions from all sides, explaining that, while the police force had no immediate plans to adopt the NAMP’s recommendations for relabeling these offenders, it was “vital” they settle upon the best terminology to “define the threat accurately and succinctly but also to avoid alienating communities crucial to our efforts.”
The NAMP, which boasts upwards of 3,000 members, was established in 2007 to address “inequality and unfairness” in the police service, according to its website. However, many responding to the news seemed not to have heard of it, and some questioned the need for a religious-specific police organization.
Next, we will have Christian Police Assoc., Hindu PA, Athiest PA! Wait, they have no terrorist wings operating in the UK.
This is part of the normal procedure in the Islamization of a western country. Make Islam look normal, as though there aren't tens of millions of radicalized Muslims in the world. Reducing them to followers of Bin Laden reduces the number to tens of thousands rather than tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions. Nor does it account for the fact that hundreds of millions of Muslims can be radicalized in a New York minute.
Reports says mercenaries, terrorists sent by Turkey to Libya

The ISIS extremists were sent to back other militants and mercenaries dispatched by Ankara to fight on the side of the Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA).
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), “Turkish intelligence have transferred Jihadist groups and Islamic State (ISIS) members of different foreign nationalities, from Syria to Libya in the past few months.” These, according to SOHR, included “over 2,500 Tunisian ISIS members” out of thousands of other ISIS-affiliated Tunisians operating in Syria.

If confirmed, the transfer of Tunisian extremists from the remote Syrian battlefield to neighbouring Libya is bound to spark serious concerns in Tunis. The small North African country has suffered major terrorist attacks in 2015 perpetrated by Tunisian ISIS-affiliated extremists after they spent time in Libya. Since the attacks, which caused the death of scores of civilians and foreign tourists, Tunisia has built a 200-km sand barrier and electronic fence on its border with Libya.
SOHR said Friday the most recent batch of jihadist fighters was sent to Libya “a few days ago”.
According to the watch group, “the number of recruits who arrived in Libya rose to 16,100 Syrian mercenaries, including 340 children under the age of 18.”
A new report published Thursday by the Pentagon said Turkey has sent between 3,500 and 3,800 Syrian mercenaries to back the Libyan Government of National Accord (GNA) over the first three months of the year.
The report, published by the US Defense Department’s inspector general, does not detail the nature of mercenary contingents dispatched by Turkey after the end of March even though Ankara has intensified its intervention in Libya since then.
During the last few weeks, the US military seemed to green-light the Turkish military intervention in Libya over growing concerns about Russia’s influence in the North African country, where hundreds of Russian mercenaries were said to be stationed. The White House has however distanced itself earlier this week with Ankara over Turkish naval moves in the Mediterranean denounced as “aggressive” by France.

Despite widespread indications of many of the fighters’ extremist links, the report says the US military found no evidence to suggest the mercenaries were affiliated with the Islamic State (ISIS) or al-Qaida terrorist groups. The US report says the fighters were “very likely” motivated by generous financial packages offered by Ankara.
Later reports by regional sources, including the SOHR watch-group, did however document the presence of Islamic extremists among the fighters sent by Turkey.
The report covers only the first quarter of the year, until the end of March — two months before a string of Turkish-backed advances by the GNA-allied forces in the capital’s suburbs, the stronghold at Tarhuna and a key western airbase.
Haftar’s setbacks trained the spotlight on Turkey’s deepening role in the Libyan war.
The latest report says the Turkish deployments likely increased ahead of the GNA advances in late May. It cites the US Africa Command as saying that 300 Turkish-supported Syrian rebels landed in Libya in early April. Turkey also deployed an “unknown number” of Turkish soldiers during the first months of the year, the inspector general adds.
To the consternation of regional rivals and NATO allies like France, Turkey is staking its hopes for greater leverage in the eastern Mediterranean on the Islamist-controlled government in Tripoli. Ankara’s open military intervention stands in contrast to covert support from foreign backers on the other side of the conflict.
The Pentagon inspector general had reported in its last quarterly review that Russia brought in hundreds of mercenaries to back Haftar’s months-long siege of Tripoli. A private Kremlin-linked military company known as the Wagner Group first introduced skilled snipers and armed drones last fall, inflicting “significant casualties” on GNA-allied forces.
SOHR puts the number of Turkish-backed Syrian mercenaries who were killed in the Libyan war at about 470, including 33 minors and a number of group commanders.
Well, at least Syria should calm down some more.
