ISIL calls for 'conquest of Istanbul,' slams Erdogan
[Hurriyet Daily News] A Turkish bad boy from 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has called for the "conquest" of Istanbul, slamming President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him...
for helping Western "crusaders," the "atheists" of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), as well as the Free Syrian Army
... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund...
(FSA) "secularists."

In the undated video shared on pro-ISIL social media accounts on Aug. 17, an unnamed bad boy is seen speaking fluent Turkish with sporadic recitation of Arabic prayers and Koranic verses.

While relating how Turks had accepted Islam centuries ago, he complains that "some of us started to worship tombs" as a photo showing Erdogan visiting an Islamic shrine is displayed on screen.

"Then the secularist Kemal Ataturk came... He forced Turkish people to deny their religion, as well as [imposed] secularism," the bad boy says.

Americans, Jews, crusaders, PKK, FSA, Saudis

The Arabic word "taghut," which means to "cross the limits, overstep boundaries," or "to rebel," is frequently used in the ISIL video, including in descriptions of Erdogan.

"Then the traitor Erdogan came. He did not rule by the laws of God. He befriended Americans; Jews; crusaders; atheist PKK members; Ataturk's secular friends, the FSA; and the apostate spies of the Saud family," he states.

The statement slams Erdogan for "opening Turkish lands to the PKK and FSA, and opening Turkish air bases to crusaders and their aircraft to protect the atheist PKK."

After accusing Erdogan of "becoming a servant primarily to protect his seat that he was about to lose," the bad boy calls on the "people of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
to revolt."

Reference to al-Baghdadi

"Let's hold the rope of the unshakable God and then, with the order of the believers' amir, 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...
-- God protect him -- who is descended from the Prophet's line, let's conquer Istanbul, which the traitor Erdogan makes every effort to deliver to the crusaders," he concludes.

Al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIL, was recently accused of repeatedly raping U.S. hostage Kayla Mueller before her death, U.S. television reported Aug. 14.

A bomb that Turkish authorities blamed on ISIL killed 33 pro-Kurdish activists in southeastern Turkey on July 20.

Accusing Ankara of collusion with ISIL, PKK faceless myrmidons began attacks against the security forces.

Both security forces and PKK faceless myrmidons have been killed in festivities in Turkey in the past month, after Ankara launched large-scale strikes against the PKK and limited action against ISIL.

U.S. warplanes carried out their first air strikes on ISIL targets in Syria after taking off from the key Incirlik Air Base in southern Turkey on Aug. 12.

Joint anti-ISIL operations with the participation of Turkey is expected to increase in the coming days, as Ankara is waiting for requests by Washington to maintain full-fledged coordination with the expected aircraft.

#1 As per the blog father: faster please.

I would love to see ISIS make a real move on 'bul or Mecca. Let's ramp up this green on green and I'll corner the pop-corn market.

#2 The ISIS/ISIL/Daesh to attack Istanbul, + repor is planning to attack Jordan.

Looks like things have gotten much more complicated for Darth Vlad + Russian Army + Black Sea Fleet.

Darth Vlad = Russia, of course, will now have to worry about ISIS/ISIL influence on the Crimean Tatars + South Caucasus militancy.

As for the KSA, IIRC circa 60%-plus of Saudi Arabian youth on average support the ISIS/ISIL = Radical Islamist ideology.

#4 I would love to see them go for Mecca. That would cause some real waves in the Islamic world.

I'm not a big fan of the Turks but I suspect they could stop cold any ISIL army heading to Istanbul. As long as their own army doesn't flip or something.
